Hi there Rick,
I see you guys over there are also blighted or should I say blessed by these "white mice" and baby wipes. I'd say they are the cause of 80% of blockages I clear over here in Cornwall. The other day I was clearing a 4" line with my K60 and on removing my 7/8 cable there was enough white mice to fill a large bucket. I took about 25mins to remove them from my cable ( I didnt see that many women around there :lol:)
Last week the K60 saved my butt again when I was called to a posh hotel in Carlyon Bay, where I removed the remnants of 3 pairs of swim goggles and rubber straps from a jacuzzi, which some kids had decided to jam into one of the circulation inlets, which were sucked down into the impeller.
today the K60 did it again - I had to unblock a gully for an indoor swimming pool pump room which wasnt allowing the pool to dump water, there was a myriad of various copper and poly pipes plumbed into the gully and only just enough space to get the 7/8 cable in - above all the closest I could get the machine to the gully was 3 ft away and had to arch the cable over all these pipes into the gully- (used the H cutter) and no problems - sorted again.
Just before I go - thought I would leave you with this unusual request from this woman on the phone who went on to tell me she was a surgeon and was well acquainted in the art of endoscopy and did I have a larger version of one of these as she had lost her Jack Russel dog down a rabbit warren - another use for the drain camera!! :lol:
Cheers for now
