A sickening stench had overpowered the San Bernadino-area branch of a major California supermarket chain.

For years, employees dumped dairy products down the drains of two 12" x 12" floor sinks in the store’s dairy department. But when local health officials ordered removal of the china basins, coagulated organic debris still remained. The line clogged. And the putrid stink of decay soon overwhelmed the store.

Something had to be done — fast.

That’s when store managers called drain cleaning professional Howard Baron, owner of local Village Plumbing.

Conventional drain cleaning methods initially failed. Baron tried clearing the clog with a cable through the last remaining floor drain at the head of the 75-ft. line.

“That didn’t work,” he recalls. “And there were no clean-outs, the vent was inaccessible, and the line was too flat.” The danger of a “huge mess” during business hours also prevented Village Plumbing from pumping the line or using its water jets.

That’s when Baron reached for his Kinetic Water Ram™ from General Pipe Cleaners. “I never used it before — and the store was really desperate!” he chuckles. “But I just read the package instructions, and it worked: it’s really easy to operate.”

Using the build-in gauge, Baron simply pumped his Kinetic Water Ram™ to the desired pressure. The tool produces up to 160 pounds of pressure, but most clogs clear with just 20-40 pounds. Then he firmly positioned the flexible cone over the drain opening and snapped the trigger.

The second try instantly cleared the clog.

General Pipe Cleaners’ innovative Kinetic Water Ram™ unleashes a powerful burst of compressed air that hammers through water at 4,700 ft. per second — instantly breaking up stoppages. It easily clears rust, grease, sediment, and scale from lines up to 4" in diameter.

“Our Kinetic Water Ram™ has proven fantastic for emergencies,” Baron says, noting that he almost immediately used it again on a backed-up urinal. “We tried it on that crisis — and it worked again!”

The optional toilet attachment screws to the front of the Kinetic Water Ram™, permitting firm positioning of the cone seal. Additional options include a metal carrying case, 6" rubber cone, expansion plugs, universal faucet adapter, water supply hose, and check valve.

Baron says his Kinetic Water Ram™ enhances Village Plumbing’s professional reputation. “It gets you through bad situations — fast. And our customers really like that!”
