Ranking of the best sewer cleaning machines for 2022

There is no such object where it would not be necessary to clean the sewer pipes. This is especially true of old houses, where fat and lime deposits have accumulated inside the structure for decades. The free space inside the pipes gradually decreases, and the water stops passing. Sometimes sewer systems become clogged with construction debris, lime and sand, toilet paper and baby diapers. In order to eliminate negative consequences, it is necessary to clean them.

The main signs of system clogging

Understanding that the sewer is clogged is quite simple. It is worth paying attention to the following signs:

1. Used water does not immediately go away, but accumulates in the washbasin or sink.
2. If the plumbing is not used for a long time, an unpleasant smell appears from the system. This indicates that organic deposits begin to decompose on its walls.
3. If you turn on the tap on the second floor of a private house, dirty water will appear in the sink on the first floor. This is due to the difference in pressure.

If at least one of the signs was found, it is urgent to take measures to clean the sewer. Otherwise, the sewer system may be completely paralyzed, and it will not be possible to live comfortably in the house.

Scope of use

There are many simple tools for putting pipes in order. The plunger has been considered the cheapest and most common from time immemorial. Many resort to the help of a metal cable and a variety of chemicals. But all this helps if the clogging is insignificant.However, structures can not only become clogged, but also overgrown inside. There is a plaque of rust, lime. Water flows poorly or does not move at all. Then you should pay attention to special machines for cleaning sewers.

Structural elements

The most common, according to buyers, is the hydrodynamic technique. It consists of the following key elements:

• drive (internal combustion engine or electric drive);
• containers for saving the working fluid;
• pump;
• flexible hoses in metal corrugation for high pressure;
• drums for winding hoses during storage;
• set of nozzles with holes;
• frames with wheels (for popular expensive models);
• devices for cleaning filters and nozzles.

The best manufacturers have launched the production of popular models equipped with a gun for washing sidewalks, facades and vehicles.

Operating principle

There is nothing complicated in using the unit. A rotating cable is placed in the sewer system, at the end of which there is a special nozzle. Thanks to it, the blockage inside the pipes is crushed. This happens through crushing and cutting.

There is another way to solve the problem - to use hydrodynamic cleaning machines. The principle of operation is the supply of water under high pressure to the hose. This makes it possible to clean the system of dirt and grease.

Device types

To eliminate blockages, the following types of equipment are used:

• hydrodynamic;
• gasoline;
• high pressure;
• manual;
• stationary;
• drum type.

Let's look at each option in more detail.

Hydrodynamic

It looks like a high pressure water pump. Equipped with a petrol or electric motor.The main structural element is a hose of different lengths, at the end of which a nozzle is installed. Main characteristics:

1. It is used for internal and external sewer systems.
2. Equipped with an engine.
3. Effectively removes blockages.
4. Has a high pressure pump.
5. Perfectly cleans systems without harming them.
6. The set includes a hose with nozzles.
7. Restores the efficiency of the sewer system.

The advantages of the mechanism include:

• elements do not get chips, cracks, scratches;
• can be used for structures made of any materials, including plastic;
• easily passes irregularities and wavy walls of the corrugation;
• cleans quickly and efficiently;
• even hard-to-reach places can do it;
• with the help of water, dirt is carried away into a collector or well;
• used to clean elements located at a considerable distance;
• does not harm the environment;
• work can be carried out in frosty air;
• earthworks are not provided;
• the self-cleaning system of sewer pipes is being restored;
• differs in reliability, durability;
• no significant maintenance costs;
• versatility (suitable for washing cars and sidewalks);
• hydrodynamic pressure can be adjusted;
• compactness;
• ease of movement;
• large devices are equipped with wheels for transportation.

There are few drawbacks, but they are worth mentioning:

• the cost is not affordable for everyone;
• connection to the water supply or the presence of a large capacity;
• only a person with experience and relevant knowledge can operate and maintain the device;
• if the popular model is with an electric motor, then the power grid is needed.

What are hydrodynamic machines? They are divided into the following types:

Type of	Description
big power	Equipped with diesel or petrol engines. The main purpose is to clean external sewer pipes. Often used to tidy up urban infrastructure. Gives out pressure up to 30 MPa. The hose can be 120 m long.
Medium power	Trailers are used to move. An automobile engine or an internal combustion engine is used as an engine. The hose reaches a length of 90 meters. The indicator of working pressure is 200 atmospheres.
low power	Devices with small parameters. Equipped with electric drive. The power is minimal, as well as the functionality. Are established on a frame with wheels. Can be moved by hand or transported in the back of a car. Issue working pressure up to 200 atmospheres. Equipped with a hose up to 60 meters long. Experts advise using them for cleaning structures with a diameter of up to 250 mm.

How to choose the right model? Masters recommend paying attention to such aspects:

1. Hose length. If necessary, the hose can be purchased in any length and installed.
2. Type of drive. Can be internal combustion or electric. If electrical networks are laid and there are no power outages, then it is better to opt for electric models.
3. Rated pressure. It is selected depending on the thickness of the elements to be cleaned. If the hydrodynamic impact is insufficient, then it will not be possible to achieve a positive result. The nominal pressure must match the flow. Drive and pump power can be reduced. For this, the manufacturer provides special regulators in the unit.

For hydrodynamic units, the following types of nozzles are produced:

• to remove fat;
• universal;
• to eliminate the roots sprouted inside the structures;
• for crushing silty and sandy deposits;
• for breaking through thick old blockages.

Conclusion

It is impossible to keep the sewer system clean without cleaning it regularly. To do this, there are many devices: from household mechanical to professional gasoline. All of them differ in size, material of manufacture, length and diameter of the cable, performance, principle of operation and average price. The choice of model must be taken seriously. Do not overpay for additional options that you do not have to use. And the acquisition of a low-power manual device will not allow you to clean clogged "tightly" pipes with a large diameter.
