all right so we got this chain right here that drops down out of the gutter and goes in this little containment right here and my friend says this floods out a lot let's walk down to the creek here and I'll show you where we're coming out at get down right in here and that's where we've got a pipe coming out I didn't even know they made this kind of setup right but as you can see here we've got a 100t hose this hose is a 4,000 PSI 275 bar Max hose keep away from hot surfaces and we've got some connections some wrenches a pack of pins and this is actually going to turn pressure washer into a sudor Jetter all right this is going to be an interesting experience I haven't jetted something like 20 some years so he called he asked for some advice I did a little research I didn't even know that they made one of these things I said well hey I'll give it a shot dude order this and I'll come over let's shoot a video so come along let's get to fix so we're look we're going to make this a Twan operation okay you can hook this directly up to your pressure washer but you're not actually going to be able to control this we're going to abandon this idea and we're going to go with one person squeezing the trigger on the pressure washer while the other person controls the Jetter this is just as simple as removing your pressure washer head and you're going to be able to put this hose fitting adapter on here now we just got to hook it up to the hose go with a little Teflon they give you wrenches you know how you need a backup wrench two different sizes this is great actually a nice little setup it's got one hole here and then it's going to have three holes down around the bottom of this okay water is going to be shooting backwards and a little bit shooting forwards we're going to opt for this bad boy this has got three holes down here but it also rotates all right and so we're just going to try to let's try this first by the end of it maybe we'll pop this one off and we'll show you how this one is works as well okay you always want to get some water running before you even start your pressure washer take this and hook this up go ahead and just just pull that down real quick and let's see what this looks like with with no pressure really it's going to take a minute there we go all right guys oh oh oh oh oh okay that's what we're looking at and it's spinning all right that's spinning pretty good and so Art's going to fire this bad boy up we are this is the real world we're going to give it a little Go Juice here all right the thing's going to fire up whether it wants to or go we're going to unwind half of that hose so we're going to push this up there as far as we possibly can before we turn it on I'm not trying to take a ahead all right she's pouring some water there let's see what kind of movement we get out of here nothing really it says it's never really taken water like this before which is awesome yeah that's the best it's ever done okay well that's great want more good good no no let's uh let's just try to run it a little bit more coming out and then we'll pull it out yeah it's coming it's just not it doesn't seem like it for that amount yeah right it seems like there's still a clog so sure so so Art's going to grab some more water we're going to see if it comes out a little faster yeah there it goes coming out much much faster now check that out awesome we got another yard drain right here at the waterfall it's nice waterfall feature and we're going to show you he said this one seems to be really clear so we're going to see how well this one runs and this one runs so good it's like a second waterfall feature so we just keep pulling out rocks it's draining so much better now I think maybe part of the line collapse or something I don't know I'm thinking what happened is it kind of held back a little bit Yeah there's still a little bit there there's still something there that's blocking it I think we've reached a standpoint of how good this is going to be but I also want to show you this other head real quick the one that doesn't Spin and we're going to we're going to put that on real quick and we're going to run that up there as well for another couple minutes just see what else we can pull out okay these have numbers on the side this is a a 4.5 there's a four and there's a five and we're going to put the five on quickly set up when changing out if you can get them close together it makes it so much easier to take apart right that's the that's the setup with any kind of wrenching you're doing all right we're going to be doing some straight on thrusting no spinning action here we got a broken line I think we're looking at this hose being about done there so this is the only bad scenario with these hard hoses they should it should have came with a reel we struggled we struggled so much I wasn't going to video it we're going to we're going to save this scenario we're going to put a camera down it and let's just take a look we we'll put a camera up it tell by all the rocks that we do have a broken line I'm going to get a camera so we can get up there and I can show you guys what this looks like um but he will end up having to dig it up and make a repair this worked out awesome really for 56 bucks this was an awesome deal great way to convert your pressure washer into a sewer Jetter I really hope you folks are enjoying the videos thank you very much and we'll see you again real soon
