Karcher are innovators of specialist cleaning products to help you transform dirty areas into pristine condition with ease, and the drain cleaner hose is another prime example of their engineering technology.This product is a mastery of selecting the correct materials to work hard and achieve impressive results with ease and great efficiency. The boxed item is delivered in a tight coiled format and you need to uncoil it and carefully straighten it out to as close to a straight line as you can by gentle flexing along its entire length, which can be either 7.5 metres or 15.0 metres. Once uncoiled you fit the bayonet end onto the gun where the normal hose fits, and to unblock or simply just clean a drain, feed the nozzle end into the drain up to the red mark on the hose casing, then activate the pressure cleaner by squeezing the gun trigger and watch the hose feed itself, as if by magic, into the drain. You can assist its progress down the drain by carefully feeding some additional length into the drain and allow the nozzle end to advance under the force of the rear facing water jets, watching for any sign if the appearance of dislodged debris and discoloured water as the work of the hose progresses. The job should be continued until clean water is flowing back towards you, indicating that the drain is both free flowing and clean. Carefully extract the hose from the drain whilst applying pressure until you approach the appearance of the nozzle end, and the job is done. You will be amazed at difference this product achieves, however it will not negotiate gulley traps due to the tight bends and is designed to clear open drains beneath manhole covers. The product works very effectively and you will want to clean all your drain runs as it is very satisfying to see clean water once again running in your drains. Such is the scouring power of the nozzle jets that fine roots are severed as it progresses under its own motive power provided by a Karcher pressure washer, in my case the K7 model. Invest in this hose, you will not be disappointed.

Works well on straight pipe, not flexible enough to go round u bends in drain pots

Did a great job, as expected - once i'd got the tight coils into a near-enough straight to get it into the drain !

I bought this several months ago as it was on a speacial offer, and it is one of those items i know i would need to use at some point. Well last week after all the heavy rain we ended up having our gutters overflowing at our new house. It turns out the previous owners had not maintained them that well, it was suggested that the soakaways may be bblocked etc and dino rod could be called with no garauntee of success then i remenbered my drain cleaning hose. I connected it to the pressure washer and boy oh boy, it just jetted out all the mud, crud autumn leaves and other debris. Money very well spent. If you own your own house and you own a pressure washer then this is a "no brainer" i have used drain rods in the past but this was by far so much quicker and less messy for me as there is a constant flow of water going down the drain to wash the filth away.Just be wary of the back wash as the jets point backwards in order to drive the probe through the bloackage.
