The SEWER HOG is, to the best of our knowledge, the largest and most powerful Jetter in the market. The SEWER HOG/GRIT
GATOR SYSTEM has been used to clean 18" diameter
pipe and up. The biggest to date was a CSO tunnel in Atlanta, Georgia that is twenty-two (22') feet in diameter, one hundred thirty feet (130') deep, four thousand feet (4000') long,
with 15' of debris.
A 600 hp engine powers the Jetter, generating water at 350 GPM at 2000 psi to a 150 # nozzle via twin 1-1/4” hoses. The intense downward spray generated by the nozzle suspends the materials and the 350 GPM flow forces them down the sewer pipe to the manhole where the 6" down hole pump forces the sand and water up to the
GRIT GATOR dewatering box via 8” hoses @ 2500 GPM. The sand and grit is captured returning 99% particle free water back to the sewer line. In cases where hydrant water is not available, the decanted water is reused to power the Jetter.
The SEWER HOG has the sand removal capability of 5 cubic yards per minute, making the system ideal for cleaning large diameter sewer lines, regardless of the concentration of material in the line. Line segments up to
4000 feet can be cleaned without repositioning the equipment.
