Drain Cleaners
High Pressure Drain Cleaner Designed to Tackle Any Blockage
At Pumps Australia, we understand the challenges that blocked drains and pipes can cause across residential, commercial, and industrial settings. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of high pressure drain cleaners (also known as hyro jetters or drain jetters) engineered to clear the toughest blockages quickly and efficiently, restoring flow and functionality with minimal fuss.
Power Washer Drain Cleaner Systems Built for Performance
Our high pressure drain cleaner units combine advanced high-pressure water jet technology with compact, portable designs. This makes them perfect for precision cleaning in tight spaces and for a wide variety of drain and pipe sizes. Whether you’re cleaning household drains, commercial plumbing, or large-scale industrial culverts, our equipment delivers reliable power and ease of use.
We also supply robust high pressure pipe cleaner systems designed to work seamlessly with a variety of nozzles and hoses. These solutions provide targeted cleaning power without damaging your pipes, ensuring longevity and performance for your plumbing systems.
Choosing the Right Flow and Pressure for Your Pipes
Selecting the correct flow rate and pressure is crucial for effective drain cleaning. At Pumps Australia, we recommend:
- 21 LPM @ 4000 PSI for pipes 7 inches and below — ideal for standard residential and small commercial drains.
- 30 LPM @ 5000 PSI for pipes 10 inches and below — suited for larger commercial drains and industrial pipes.
- Ask about our patented Smart-Drive units.
Importantly, flow rate is more critical than pressure when it comes to efficiently flushing debris out of pipes. Our experts can help you choose the best combination to match your specific pipe sizes and blockage conditions. We also offer a wide range of drain cleaning nozzles to meet every need.
Drains vs Culverts — What’s the Difference?
Understanding the difference between drains and culverts is key to selecting the right cleaning equipment.
- Drains are designed primarily to carry surface water away from streets, properties, or industrial sites.
- Culverts are structures that allow large volumes of water to flow underneath roads, railways, or embankments, often larger and built to handle heavier water volumes.
Our high pressure drain cleaners are engineered to handle both, with flexible options depending on the pipe diameter and flow requirements.
Petrol, Diesel, Hydraulic and Electric Options — Tailored for Your Industry
We offer our drain cleaning units in several power options to suit your operational environment:
- Petrol-powered units: The industry preferred choice for portability and ease of use.
- Diesel-powered units: Favoured on minesites and heavy industrial applications for their durability and power.
Electric units: Available for indoor or static applications. For maximum efficiency, a 415V 3-phase power supply is recommended. However, we also offer some single phase 240V models, which are best suited for cleaning pipes up to 2 inches in diameter. Check out our Enzo 25/500psi Plumbermate 240/415v.
Durable, Lightweight, and Ready to Deploy
Our units come in stainless steel and lightweight designs, making them ideal for van mounting. For increased mobility, petrol models can be mounted on single axle trailers or custom units, providing flexibility for job site requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions -
Drain Cleaners
What jobs are drain cleaners good for?
Drain cleaners are great for a wide range of jobs varying from commercial, domestic, residential to municipal applications
How do drain cleaners work?
Drain cleaners use a long, flexible, lightweight thermoplastic hose with a nozzle to direct the high pressure. Hoses are small and are able to fit into tight areas and around bends. When choosing your drain cleaner, make sure you select the correct drain cleaner accessories to accommodate to your specific drain cleaner job. Pumps Australia can manufacture small portable units to large trailer mounted units.
Petrol or diesel, which is better?
Petrol drain cleaners and diesel drain cleaners are both high performing high pressure systems. One isn’t necessarily better than the other, but it comes down to the high pressure job you’re performing as well as your personal preference.
What are electric driven drain cleaners?
Electric drain cleaners rely on a reliable power source to perform work. Electric drain cleaners are ideal when petrol or diesel drain cleaners can’t be used on site. Before purchasing an electric drain cleaner, confirm your power source on site and whether the source can supply power for the high pressure of the drain cleaner.
What water source do I need for my drain cleaner?
Drain cleaners require a reliable steady flow of clean water. Dirty water can result in poor performance of the drain cleaner if there is debris in the water. Check your water source before performing work by turning the tap on fully, releasing water into a bucket and use a stopwatch to time how long it takes to overflow the bucket. To calculate flow rate, divide 60 seconds by the time it took to fill the bucket then multiply that figure by the liters in the bucket.
Which high pressure jetting hose should I select for my drain cleaner?
Selecting the right high pressure jetting hose for your drain cleaner jetting job is just as important as selecting the right drain cleaner unit. Pumps Australia stocks a wide range of high pressure jetting hoses. Choose the correct high pressure jetting hose by checking the required operating pressure. Typically, the hose’s burst pressure will be a minimum 2.4 times the working pressure.For the hose going into the drain we recommend a lightweight thermo-plastic hose generally 60 meters long on a portable hand carry hose reel.
What is the ideal pressure for a drain cleaner?
Choosing the correct pressure for your drain cleaner is crucial for performance. If the drain cleaner’s pressure is too high, it can result in damage. If the drain cleaner’s pressure is too low, performance will be poor.
Class A Vs. Class B - what’s the difference?
Class A and Class B pressure cleaners require specific training. Class A high pressure water systems produce a maximum energy between 800 bar liters per minute – 5600 bar liters per minute. Class B system is a high pressure water jetting system that exceeds 5600 bar liters per minute. HPWJ training is required for both Class A and Class B pressure cleaner systems. Talk with our team at Pumps Australia for more information.
What are the drain cleaner safety requirements?
Drain cleaner safety requirements change depending on the drain cleaner equipment. As mentioned, different Classes require different safety. For more information on safety for high pressure water blasting, see our safety video here.
Do drain cleaners need regular maintenance?
Like all pieces of high pressure systems, drain cleaners require regular maintenance. To maintain your drain cleaner equipment, regularly change the oil and assess if your drain cleaner’s heating coils require any descaling. Assess for any wear and tear, in case any parts need to be replaced e.g. the drain pressure cleaner’s trigger and nozzles. If you use your Pump Equipment regularly, you might want to consider 2-3 services per year.
Read the operating maintenance manual supplied with your machine or refer to the Pumps Australia maintenance booklet.
