Hi gurus,

I have a water drainage issue off my driveway. Culprit seems to be the drain pipe in the middle, it easily gets plugged. I did the shop vac "suction" approach, sucked up a bunch of guck, some mud, even a few rocks. Now thinking to use a water jetter to try to punch through. Stuck spot is only ~15 ft in but I suspect it has to go 50 ft to get to the end.

Question: I have a Karcher electric pressure washer. Would like to add a 50' water jetter hose, something like:

... but I think I need an adapter for the Karcher. Thus far haven't found much except for this specialized hose, which sadly is only 25':

Any advice/suggestions much appreciated. I have a large # of plumbing projects in my house so this will probably be the first of a couple posts :).

Thanks

So is this forum fairly inactive? Surprised no opinions on this.
 
I have never used an electric jetter, but from those I know who have, they have only found them useful for small interior drains. Most guys who have bought one end up not using them very often, as they just don't perform very well.
 
If you are getting mud and rocks, I'm betting you have a break in the line already. No jetter will fix this problem. This is also my problem where I live and I now get to dig out the line. Want to borrow my shovel?
