      I was sceptical it would work, but it cost me $50 and I charged the building $50 for my time. Our plumber is great, but they are charging a minimum $250 callout these days. So, I've saved the building $150 in it's first outing. Winning. Even if you didn't already own a pressure washer a few drains in you'd be ahead.

      Yet another job done as the result of being tight and not wanting to call the plumber. Good thing I saved $200 buck here... the building water main burst today and they are currently fixing it. Probably a $2000 plus job. Can't win. 😂

    Good to see you back into it James. I have a similar pressure washer, mine is green though. I bought the drain and tube cleaner to clean gutters and down pipes. The giant eucalyptus near the house rains leaves and sticks on us in any kind of windy weather. I cost me 250 shekels to get the gutter vac bloke to clean them last time. Anyway mate, keep up the good work. All the best.

    The trouble with this attachment is that it CAN'T be used with the Gerni 7300 pressure washer which has a output pressure of 2320psi and this drain tube can only take a pressure up to 2175psi and that's because it's not steel reinforced. If you do use it with the Gerni 7300 then you risk bursting the drain hose severely injuring yourself in the process.
    Gerni should make a drain cleaning hose that's able to take the pressure of the 7300.

    • @FixitFingers

      That does seem like a bit of a massive oversight on their part. Perhaps there is one in works, I'd have thought the 7000 series would be popular enough to warrent it...
