A jetter can be used to blast away debris and clogs within the septic lines and leachfield, effectively clearing blockages and maintaining proper drainage throughout the system. Using a high-powered jetter means improved cleaning quality and time management.
With that in mind, HotJet USA recently announced a new Turbo Diesel Trailer Jetter (20 gpm at 4,000 psi) powered by a Yanmar diesel engine. The jetter features 59 hp in a compact, affordable package — offering over 10% more power than traditional 18 gpm units.
The Yanmar-powered units are Tier 4 compliant, are super fuel efficient and use an XL Radiator. The diesel engines are water cooled for maximum efficiency and are easily maintained by a network of service centers nationwide.
“The smooth harmonics of these engines promote not only a long life for the engines themselves but also bring out the best performance and durability of all of the components that make up the HotJet USA Turbo Diesel Jetters,” says Morris “Mo” Morgan, owner/operations manager for HotJet USA. “Yanmar has strict requirements for its products, sending out its own representatives to test them for compatibility with the equipment they are used in.”
The jetters can be mounted on 5-by-12 to 5-by-16-foot decks with a choice of single or tandem axle. Trailers are powder coated with an axle rating of 1 x 7,000 pounds (single) or 2 x 3,500 pounds (tandem). These units can also be mounted inside of enclosed trailers. They feature a low-noise muffler, low engine oil/high temperature auto shutdown system, 330-gallon water tank (upgradeable to 660 gallons), a NEMA 4-rated control panel, a run-dry capable UDOR Penta pump and a solid-state remote control.
“When we teamed up their motor with the UDOR five-cylinder pump, it blew us away,” Morgan says. “The five-cylinder’s performance and ease of service far outpaces the three-cylinder currently being used in the market.”
They are available in cold or hot/cold operation and will clean drainlines from 2 to 24 inches, which makes them ideal for residential, commercial and industrial applications. A relief valve system allows the unit to run with an option of 500 feet of 1/2-inch hose or 300 feet of 3/8-inch hose. Both reels are hydraulically powered.
“Veterans in the industry — those who’ve been at it two or three decades — have been singing its praises,” Morgan says. “The faster cleaning jobs have increased revenue and have left customers very impressed. They’re calling this machine a beast.”
