Thanks for posting the intro.
Jetting inside a house requires a bit of special care.
the water the jet uses has to go somewhere and if the drain doesn't clear very quickly it could get ugly.
You would probably be better off cabling tub and sink drains.

Ha! I'll bet I'm the first to refer to drain cleaning as "art"! :laughing:

Southby's has a painting up for auction...

Oh Boy! It sounds like you guys better hire someone that knows what they are doing...

thats what i figured would happen with the water jet floods are no good we are trying to get rid of the flood not creat one haha, so in a situation like this i can use the spartan 300 in a sink drain, in my recent years of work i have never been in the situation to use it but i was told that if you cant get it with the handy electric do not use the spartan 300 b/c its only used to sewers bc its too powerful

A Spartan 300 is the last thing I could imagine going down a tub or sink drain.

Really your knowledge of drain cleaning sucks and I'd hate to see your learning curve inflicted on a customer without getting a skilled drain cleaner on board to teach you.

Redwood why couldn't you use a 300 in a sink drain? I use 5/8" cable in sink all the time with my k-60. Why would a drum machine be any different?

The k-60 is a noodle compared to the cable the drum machines use.

I would consider a Spartan 100 to be something I would use on sink and tub drains.

The Spartan 300 is what I would consider a light weight main line machine, generally a useless machine. Too big for sinks and tubs yet too wimpy to get out in a main with roots of any size.

The Spartan 1065 is what I would use on a main line.

I myself don't use Spartan machines.

I have a Ridgid K-7500 with 11/16" cables for mains and a K-3800 with drums for 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2" cables I use on the smaller lines.

red wood i officially know not to acknowledge your posts anymore b/c they are not helpful and all your doing is trying to put down my knowledge which i do not appreciate. i came to ask for advise not to be criticized on my knowledge of drain cleaining

I'm sorry to hear that.
If you read on you will see there was some very valuable advice given.
Good luck with your business.:whistling2:

What is different about the 5/8" cable in the spartan? Is it stiffer than 5/8" that the 60 uses?

The drum machine cables tend to be a lot stiffer than the sectional cables.
For instance the k-60 with a 7/8" cable can go through a 2" line while my k-7500 with an 11/16" could go through a 2" line if it was straight.:laughing:
Maybe a wye but the first tee or elbow it tried to go through would send PVC flying.

 

[Redwood]

I'm just saying the drum cables tend to be stiffer than the sectional cables.

A 5/8" drum cable would probably be fine on a 2" line if it was run very carefully.
I could not ever see it going down an 1 1/4 line or a 1 1/2" line

 

[Redwood]

I could set you up with 2 machines that would do everything from snaking through a trap on a bath tub up to a 6" line. You would be able to effectively clean any line fron 1 1/4" to 6"

I believe they would be the same 2 machines Service Guy uses if I remember correctly.

With the exception of a line at a chinese restaraunt.
Thats a jet job I don't care where you're from.

Around the Clog,

What are you figuring on charging for cleaning drains?
