How to Clear a Blocked Drain

If you have a blocked drain or blocked gutter that needs clearing, look no further than the Karcher pressure washer drain cleaning kit. Suitable for K2 Karcher pressure washers all the way up to K7 models, clearing a blocked drain is easier than ever with this handy accessory in your Karcher cleaning arsenal! Let's take a look at how the drain pipe cleaning tool works...

Beneath the brass nib are rear-facing water nozzles, which allow the drain cleaning tool to spray water backwards towards the blockage as you feed it through. This allows for highly effective gutter and drain cleaning, which is why this tool is such a useful accessory to have for your Karcher pressure washer.

Now let's take a look at clearing a blocked pipe or drain with a pressure washer. First of all, depending on what you're cleaning or unblocking, it can be a good idea to wear safety goggles and gloves to avoid any splashback.

Once you're ready, feed the Karcher drain cleaning kit into the drain or pipe you're wanting to unblock or clean. Proceed to feed it through for a few feet without applying pressure, as you don't want to have the kit too close to you when you turn it on due to splashback.

Then, once you've got the drain cleaning tool in place, you can go ahead on turn it on. While the kit is on and cleaning, feed the kit through the length of the pipe or gutter a couple of times. This will make sure you clear any blockages thoroughly. Once you've finished cleaning, make sure you turn the drain cleaning kit off again before pulling it back out of the drain or gutter. Again, this is because you don't want any splashback.

The Karcher drain cleaning kit is available in both a 7.5-metre length and a 15-metre length, providing you with the means to clean your drains, pipes and gutters without paying for a professional cleaning service.
