The Sewerooter T-4 does a better job of clearing inside drainlines up to 100 feet long with 9/16-inch Flexicore cable. It has more torque than traditional 1/2-inch cables, yet it can be used to clear the same 3- to 4-inch drainlines. Need to clear tree roots too? Just switch drums to a 75 foot, 5/8-inch Flexicore cable to clear 3- to 6-inch lines. Added durability The heavy-duty, variable-speed Power Cable Feed drives and retracts 9/16- and 5/8-inch cables at up to 20 feet per minute. To adjust to different cable sizes, simply turn the knob on top of the feed. The screwdriver stays in the toolbox. The heavy-duty reinforced frame and drum support shaft take rough handling in the field. The 1/3 hp capacitor motor has plenty of power to drive more than 100 feet of cable. And the unique self-aligning Flexitube distributor tube reduces the risk of cable tangling in the drum. Learn more

Rip through tough stoppages with the unique ClogChopper multifunction cutting tools from General Pipe Cleaners. Six self-sharpening blades dig into encrusted debris and root masses, easily grinding up stoppages, scale and crystallized urine, without risking pipe damage. The spherical design maneuvers around tight bends and traps, thoroughly and safely cleaning metal, plastic and clay pipes. As it spins it also self-sharpens as it scrapes along the pipe walls. It’s excellent for clearing stacks, downspouts and mains, as well as for drain lining jobs. General offers a variety of sizes and connector options, including for its drum type cables and sectional G connectors, as well as for RIDGID and Electric Eel connectors.

Steve “Jonesie” Jones walks you through hose size and how it relates to jetter flow, including debunking a common misconception about increasing flow. Using 3/8-inch hose for 10 gpm or less keeps the pressure drop to about 1.5 psi per foot. Going up to 12 gpm, it’s better to use a 1/2-inch hose to keep the pressure drop also around 1 psi per foot.

When you’ve got a 200-foot line to clear and the typical cable drain cleaner just won’t cut it, step up to the Speedrooter XL. The 3/4 hp motor and solid distributor tube for the cable give it added strength to go up to 200 feet. Listen in as Dave Dunbar explains the features of the Speedrooter XL at the WWETT Show.If you have questions or want to know more about this or other drain cleaning equipment, contact the Drain Brains at General at 800-245-6200 or visit www.drainbrain.com.

The General Pipe Cleaners Gen-Ear LE water leak locator is a simplified, more economical tool with stronger sound amplification than other systems. Use it to pinpoint water leaks in residential and commercial water lines, whether they are under concrete slabs, under carpets, or in open fields.  The compact amplifier fits easily in the palm of your hand. It provides noise-free amplification with built-in preset audio filters, so you don’t have guess what settings to use. And the high-performance headphones with noise cancellation features block out interference from surrounding ambient noise. The ground sensor listens for the gurgling or hammering of water escaping from a cracked pipe under concrete, asphalt or tile. For soft surfaces like grass or carpet, use the probe rods. Or, for above ground pipes or hydrants, you can use both the probe rods or the magnet attachment. For more information, contact the Drain Brains at General at 800-245-6200.

In this video, Chris Boyles and Steve "Jonesie" Jones discuss the benefits of a propane-fueled jetter. Whether the jetting job is indoors or outdoors, the "cleaner" exhaust of propane fuel often enables the jetter to be rolled right up to the clean-out or floor drain to be jetted. Jonesie also gives tips on protocols for indoor jetting safety. For more info on propane-fueled Brute jetters, visit jettersnorthwest.com/propane-fueled/ Stay safe, and get jetting!

In this video, Chris Boyles from Jetters Northwest shares three new upgrades to the popular Eagle-300 ‘4020’ jetter for operator convenience and reliability. From a significantly beefed-up reel and swivel-bearing for the main jetting hose, to handy quick-release mini-reel mounts, to an industrial-grade exhaust system for strength and cooler operation, Jetters Northwest continually improves its jetting systems.

The Cold-Shot Pipe Freeze Kit from General Pipe Cleaners allows you to make repairs to pressurized plumbing systems. No need to drain water lines, sprinkler systems, or hot-water systems before cutting pipe or tubing. The Cold-Shot keeps pressurized systems operating while you make repairs. It freezes all types of liquids in steel, copper, cast iron, aluminum or plastic pipes ranging from 1/8 inch to 2 inches (10mm to 60mm) in diameter. It uses carbon dioxide from a dip-tube cylinder (available at most welding supply houses) to create an ice plug in minutes that is capable of withstanding 7,000 psi of pressure. It's faster and less expensive than "refrigerator-type" units; and it's faster and uses less CO2 than "bag-type" units. In five minutes, you're ready to go to work on copper tubing; just three minutes in cast iron pipe. For more information, visit www.drainbrain.com/coldshot

OBIC's certified installers begin with rigorous surface preparation — hydroblasting and cleaning down to a dry, saturated substrate — so the OBIC polyurea lining adheres flawlessly. The multi-layer OBIC Armor System starts with a strong adhesion base coat, followed by a structural surfacing foam layer and a final barrier coat of OBIC 1000, creating a seamless, 1/2-inch-thick monolithic liner. This method works across all liner systems — manholes, tanks, wet wells, or lift stations — as long as the substrate is dry. Installers are trained to stop infiltration at the source first, ensuring reliable performance and extending infrastructure life. Each installation is marked with an OBIC logo and date stamp, triggering a 10-year material-and-labor warranty.

In this video from the 2026 Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport (WWETT) Show, Rodney M. Hardy, of Standard Plumbing Contractor out of Chicago, explains why he likes PE Equipment’s 2-in-1 Pipe Bursting and Rod Pushing System.“A lot of customers, their main concern is the downtime and how long something takes,” he says. “With a lot of the new installs and services you have to excavate, and a lot of people don’t want their whole driveway or front lawn dug up. With this, you go right under the roadway, or right under their front lawn, and it’s quick and easy.”The system includes both pipe bursting and rod pushing capabilities in a single machine, simplifying operation and enhancing productivity. It measures 47 inches long, 23 inches wide and 31 inches tall, making it highly portable and easily carried by two people.For more information, visit pe-equipment.com.
