In this segment of Get Jetting with Jonesie, Steve Jones covers the purpose and limitations of a 115-volt electric jetter. The primary application for an electric jetter is doing small, indoor drains and Steve gives you the complete rundown. Happy jetting! See more information about Jetters Northwest equipment at www.jettersnorthwest.com or call 877-901-1936.

John Cole of John Cole's Plumbing Professionals talks about the reliability and durability of the General Pipe Cleaners Maxi-Rooter. Look at the portability that goes with that power and capacity. The Maxi-Rooter rolls on 10-inch ball bearing semi-pneumatic wheels and has V-belt stair climbers for easier transport up and down stairs. The Maxi-Rooter clears roots and heavy stoppages in 3- to 10-inch lines and holds 125 feet of 3/4-inch and 150 feet of 5/8-inch Flexicore cable. It also has a powerful 3/4 hp motor drive cable up to 200 feet down the line. A truck loading wheel mounted on the handle is almost like having another person helping you when you lift the machine into a truck. In addition, General made it easy for you to remove the drum if you should want to transport the Maxi-Rooter in two parts. Another important help to you is a see-through inner drum cage so you can tell how much cable is in the drum. For electrical safety, the foot pedal is air-actuated, eliminating electrical contact between pedal and motor. Equally important, a ground fault circuit interrupter senses current leakage and will shut down the machine before an operator suffers an electric shock.

Chris Boyles and Aaron Danneker from Jetters Northwest give you a three-minute tour of the features and options that make Brute jetters the top compact choice of rooter professionals, trenchless pros, and sewer/drain cleaning pros looking for excellent jetting power with professional controls and jetting efficiency.

In this segment of Get Jetting With Jonesie, Steve Jones shows how to overcome loss of gpm due to incorrect nozzle orifices. Jonesie explains what to listen and look for in order to identify whether your jetter is putting out maximum flow and pressure. Click here to see “Why Resistance Creates Jetting Pressure” Part 1.

In this segment of Get Jetting with Jonesie, Steve Jones explains why resistance creates pressure in regard to jetting. Jones also explains how pressure loss from the jetter can affect your performance if the jetting nozzle is not orificed properly. For more information, visit www.jettersnorthwest.com.

In this video, Steve “Jonesie” Jones from Jetters Northwest quickly walks you through the full range of hose sizes available for doing a variety of jetting jobs. Jonesie explains which pipe sizes each hose size is best suited for, and what each hose’s “sweet spot” is for gpm (water flow rate) to avoid excessive pressure-drop to the nozzle. Hose sizes covered are 1/2, 3/8, 5/16, 1/4, 3/16, and 1/8 inch, with extra attention to (a) the versatile 5/16-inch hose size that is gaining popularity for many service jobs, and (b) the effectiveness of 3/16-inch hoses compared to restrictive 1/8-inch hoses.Visit shop.jettersnorthwest.com or call 877-901-1936 for more information.

Backed by 40 years of grout manufacturing experience, OBIC’s hand and pump-injected chemical grout leak stop solutions are specifically formulated to maximize performance in water, wastewater, stormwater and industrial applications.

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.

General Pipe Cleaners redefines high-speed, flexible-shaft technology again with the new Flexi-Rooter Junior drain cleaner – the latest addition in its line of flexible-shaft machines.The Flexi-Rooter Junior features an integral variable-speed motor with an air actuated foot pedal that lets you adjust the motor speed from zero to 2,400 rpm. This allows you to have both hands free to safely guide the flexible shaft into the line. The shaft spins up to 10 times faster than conventional drain cleaning tools for a more thorough cleaning job.The reel holds 50 feet of 1/4-inch (6 mm) flexible shaft to clear 1 1/4- to 3-inch lines. The stronger, stiffer shaft with an enhanced sheath is flexible enough to navigate tighter bends and get though 1 1/4-inch lines, yet tough enough to clear 3-inch drainlines.Enhanced safety slip clutch design protects the flexible shaft from damage. But if you ever do get into trouble General’s flexible shaft is field repairable. The durable metal frame weighs only 20 pounds, making it easy to get the machine smoothly to and from the job.

In this video from the Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport (WWETT) Show, learn about the various water tank options you can implement for Jetters Northwest’s Brute jetter in a van setup.A recent key update was heightening and narrowing the dimensions of the 150-gallon tank so that it now takes up the same amount of floor space as the 100-gallon tank, increasing the configuration options for a jetter setup.Visit www.jettersnorthwest.com or call 877-901-1936 for more information.

In this video from the 2026 Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport (WWETT) Show, watch a demo of NuFlow’s NuCure Cold Cure UV system in action.The UV curing system runs off 110 volts, so it can be operated from anywhere, even the roof of a building. It uses a single-part resin that is shelf stable for at least 10 months. You can perform wet-out in advance and fully cure a liner in only 10 minutes.Learn more at www.nuflow.com.

In this segment of Get Jetting With Jonesie, Steve Jones covers the do’s and don’ts of different skid configurations for the Brute jetter and compact-skid tank setup.

Mary-Anne Bowcott (@the_ladyplumber) talks about how much she loves and uses her General JM-2900. The JM-2900 is an economical alternative to larger jetters. It’s lighter and more maneuverable, yet maintains the same pressure and flow rate of its big brothers. It’s driven by a 389 cc engine connected directly to a 3000 psi, 4 gpm triplex pump with Vibra-pulse on demand. The 200-foot-capacity hose reel with drag brake, reel lock, and swivel is mounted on a very maneuverable heavy-duty frame with two 10-inch “flat-free” foam core tires. A passive brake keeps the machine solidly positioned on the job. Standard safety features include a thermal relief valve to protect the pump from heat damage, along with a back flow check valve and inlet filter. Comes complete with toolbox and an optional spray wand is available.

OBIC’s exclusive, flexible polymer coating systems are spray-applied and cure in just minutes. That saves time and money, all while providing greater protection than similar materials. OBIC products are backed by a team of chemists and third-party testing to ensure consistency and quality. Watch to learn more about the OBIC advantage and why municipalities and companies choose OBIC when a coating absolutely must last.

In this video from the Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport (WWETT) Show, the team at Jetters Northwest provides an overview of some of the options for the company’s Eagle trailer jetters, in particular the 200 and 300 models.The Eagle 200 offers 10 gpm to maximize a 3/8-inch hose, which provides more flexibility for jobs with multiple bends and turns. The Eagle 300 doubles that output to 20 gpm on 1/2-inch hose for larger commercial and municipal jobs.Learn more at www.jettersnorthwest.com.
