Review - Karcher PC15 Pipe Cleaning Kit 

Hi anyone cleaning drains should wear, gloves mask and protective clothing, I did a job at home, wore gloves and overall, a couple of days later I developed Acute toxoplasmosis, not funny I had flu symptoms for about 6 months. Consultant reckons it possibly came from air born vapour from the pressure cleaner doing the drains, so please take good care of yourselves guys.

Thank you for the Karcher PC15 Pipe Cleaning kit demonstration. You're a lucky man to have such a great helper. I have looked at hiring a plumber, but since I own a Karcher water jet like yours I will buy the attachment and hopefully get my drains as clean as yours.

Thanks Russell for an inimitable review, you sold me on the kit. OK, we all take on board the ppe comments, I think karcher should carry a warning on the box and indeed include the necessaries in the box, unless they already do so. Well done for taking comments on the chin and at the same time keeping your good humour. Cheers to you and your trusty helper. 😊

Awesome review, glad I could see someone actually using it. I'm going to buy one now. thanks

Incredibly helpful video, thanks, while contemplating buying one of these attachments. Ian

I used this pump to replace the pump on a Ecell 3100 PSI pump. ru-vid.comUgkxEU8wdEWW31diRsOawsCNfWEho39M27qd The model # is PWZ0163100.02 for those looking for a matching pump. It went on very easily - 10 minutes at most. Feels like a lot more power than the original but that's to be expected. Can't tell a difference when cleaning with the wand or floor sprayer. Would recommend as it was cheaper than most I found. The maintenance free aspect is definitely a plus too. Have used it through about 6 tanks of gas and have zero issues so far.

Thanks Russell for this good video. I just bought my pc15 + karcher 2.050, I will follow exactly your demonstration for my sewerage cleaning.

Brilliant bit of kit, and review, thanks Russell.

That is a brilliant review. Love your clarity. I just ordered this yesterday - never knew it existed until I saw it on Amazon. Weird thing how Google know what you are up to - ordered it yesterday and had this video recommended to me on RU-vid this morning - scary. Can't wait for it to arrive now and have the fun start. Thanks for sharing this video Russell. I purchased it blind hoping it would be okay - now I know it is exactly what we need, Thanks again.

Thanks Russell. I think we all fall foul (!) Of not using using PPE but this video is really helpful and does what RU-vid videos are supposed to... 1) should I buy this kit and 2) how to use it. Also nice gaff ! My drain system is about the same age and rods don't flex sufficiently to unblock so this should work for me 👍

Great video Russell. Thanks very much for taking the time to make this really helpful video

Excellent demonstration, Thank you from the States...

Great video. I've been using a drain rod kit which worked very well clearing debris and hardcore which had fallen through gaps between the sides of a metal drain cover. I'll use this tomorrow to see if it helps. Thanks for the great video

Wow such a cracking video. I especially liked the bit when you jetted the kitchen pipe and all that fat came out. Thanks.

Thank you! Just what I was looking for.

I have somewhat blocked loo drain and I have TWO of these (shorter, 7,5m) attachments that came with the Kärcher pressure washer. I never dreamed they would work *this* well . - - - Test tomorrow - after some painting! And yeah, gloves, face shield and overalls.

Hi Russell, i really love your reviews. They're so profound!

you did an excellent job...it helps leaving water running inside the house also..your jetter can't have a very high gpm output without having a holding tank..probably less than 8gpm on a house hose..

Thankyou very much ,i bought 1,your video was spot on the Karcher Kc2 worked fine,just took about 1/2hr ,thanks again Russell and your helper

Excellent video - one thing that I have found is when people use powdered laundry detergent which can build & compact hard enough to rival any fat-burg, it's the 'filler' that carries the detergent that is the problem😉

Absolutely brilliant mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

good on you mate I'm a drain unblocker from New Zealand

Very useful, thanks for your input Russell.

Thank you for taking the time.

Love the "low loader" kitchen outfall pipe you are lucky indeed to have such a design. On a morw important note gloves goggles and one of those disposable masks would be a good idea

I have the same problem now , your video is really helpful thanks

Cheers Russel - Very informative

awesome technology! thank you for posting a demonstration and review. this will help immensely on my project.

Great video Russell, God Bless

Hope you don't bite your fingernails! Good review though mate, good to see it in use like that

Russel ! Beautifully explained ! Best wishes .

That is one hell of a pipe setup, can't imagine needing to fix a collapsed portion

Nice video. Thanks for the demo, Russell!

Thanks for the video, interesting bit of attachment.

we had a big problem with the pipe block, we paid hundreds of pounds to the company. after buying a cable for several pounds, it helped a lot, I recommend it!!!

nice video, to get around the issue with operating with one hand, you could remove the trigger gun, and replace it with a quick connect ball valve. that way, once its on it will remain on until you switch it off.

Good demonstration,just need some PPE.Thanks for posting.

SOLD! Very useful review, thanks mate!

Well done to the person who helped you. She's an all star.

good video, I will be having one of these thanks

Outstanding video! Thank you.

Thanks mate good review!

Thanks for the all information. From UAE

They work, i bought one, 7.5 metres long but too short, they work by blasting a water jet backwards thus pulling the hose in, there is no need to force the hose in just pull it back a bit and let it go again using the pressure of the karcher, magic.

Thank you sir,you just saved me a bunch of money I was going to give to the plumber!

very well done! i like to do this too at home, every time when needed.

Great review. Thanks!!

I'm getting one. Superb!

Next time use gloves.

i bought this before but never use it bcuz i use baboo stick for remove the thing who blocked my drain pipe , but glad to see that if i have problem i can use it and it's work well

Thank you and thank you to your 'Trusty helper'!

All that with no gloves! That's a real man 💯

Oh the trials of indoor plumbing!

Awesome video! Thank you.

Great review very methodical good instructive comments thanks a lot ...oh and like everyone else says please wear gloves, gogles and a mask

Great review

Good video! You say it's difficult to operate the gun and the water tube, I had this problem too and solved it using a rubber band or you can use a clamp: I insert the water tube, and then fix the gun with a rubber band, tighten it and I am free to operate the water tube without needing a third person.

Thanks a lot, very instructive!

This guy sold more of these attachments than any official karcer marketing

You can also "pig" the hose. Make a circle in the hose and turn it so the nozzle will turn and allow the jets to clean or cut the blockage more effectively .This also helps get it around bends, as the nozzle will always push to one side of the pipe. Good job too, i never wear gloves either, but I am used to it. It's the grease and fat when it get in your skin and your hands stink for a few days that annoys me.

To keep the drains flowing well, a good thing to do is put mesh over to prevent leaves and moss entering the drain and pour hot water down every now and again.

Thanks for sharing 👍

great video, well done 👍

Good video next time bung the other drain holes to stop further blockage , and some hand protections , good machine drains were really bad made good work cleaning tho 💪🏽

This attachment will be perfect for my next enema.

Great video!!!

looks like a very useful tool

Great video very informative

It so great full power wash, I will order one for my self. Thank you sir

Why don't you just close the door? Seeing it open makes me feel quite uncomfortable! However, thanks for posting!

great video ... thanks for sharing

Excellent video Russell. Agree with the other comments below re: elf and safedy;) (ie) gloves, mask and safety specs.

Good job!

Good video, helped me

Great video - good real-life demonstration. Thank You!

Good review

Always block the down stream pipe, a sandbag is helpful as it blocks the flow and you can collect the debris from in front , and tie it off just in case !

Good idea to use a disposable plastic poncho and a disposable mask will help too. Drains are full of loads of bacteria, maybe certain viruses, last thing you want is to develop an illness or the person handling your dirty laundry. In Australia we have different drain systems, we don’t tend to have man hole covers, rather we only have access points on each different pipe connection that has a y type junction fitting inserted with a screw off cap. The waste water pipe comes out of the wall the y junction is fitted just below before the pipe goes down below ground level. Watching your video of the fat deposits makes me wonder how efficient the Roman’s homes waste water systems worked over time, as they didn’t have the luxury of todays modern portable electric powered high pressure water gerni.

i think i would have jetted towards the mains as well as from the house just to make sure that it was cleared as well and since it was going that direction anyways when the jetting was finished, just flush a few toilets and run the sink to flush a ton towards the mains drain.

Great informative video. What model Karcher pressure washer model would you recommend that i need for this to be effective?

We have one but found after awhile the out shield with the word Karcher that goes around the inner black pipe Split and Tore, this was due to when you send the Karcher hose up the pipe as you are rodding the pipe with the cable it is rubbing against the top of the pipe causing it to fray.

thank you very nice explained. nice product

I know that there are many comments about how you should wear gloves, but you really, really should wear them. It's not just dirt, there are 'things' you don't want to touch and lord have mercy if you would touch your face/eyes after this....

good job my friend!

If you are long enough in the business there is only one thing you always should protect and that's your hands. After years I got totaly immune for this kind of hazard.

Great work knowledge

I got to tell you i managed to clear a blockage with it today. Took me some hours but it worked. Very happy with it. The hose was just long enough to reach it, it was fully in. So very lucky. Just feeded in the hose as far as possible and then put the 150 bar pressure washer on. I didn't force it in but let it work itself through the blockage and pulled it a meter back sometimes when it stopped. Also cleaned the rain pipes with it the were very dirty! I used hot water 60 degrees i don't know if this is better then cold? After all it's a calculation what is the most efficiënt or cheapest do it yourself in a few hours or call some professionals who can it in half an hour.

Very interesting video. I know nothing about Karcher pressure washers and I'm thinking of buying one together with the drain cleaning kit you have reviewed. I'm just wondering which model of pressure washer you used in the video? Does the drain cleaner need quite a high pressure model?

Good show!

Which karcher was you using. Will it need the K7 to work well?

Jan2019. Sir, thank you for lovely video you made. Now i will buy that pipe cleaner. Note: you have a nice house. Love from Indonesia.

Well, even if the execution of the actual job could have been better, the video has been made interesting and entertaining by the narrative and the editing. Also I just love Russells accent and his "trusty helper". Well done, mr. Platten.

gracias ...siiii .... yo tambien.......lociento.......nesecito una de esas.......

He be cleanin' sewage with a vacuum!
