WIN AN AUSSIE JETTER! Australian Pump Industries recently carried out a detailed survey of plumbing supply shops across the country. The survey included the big names of the industry as well as individual plumbing stores. The aim was to understand how far the “jetter revolution” has penetrated through to plumbers. The survey revealed the move from conventional electromechanical drain cleaning devices to jetters is gaining momentum every day. Aussie Pumps have launched a competition open to any plumber in Australia. To enter, just answer “Why are Aussie Jetters better than mechanical drain cleaning equipment?” The best entry will win a $12,000 Aussie Jetter package that includes an Aussie Cobra with Honda engine, stainless steel frame, 4,000 psi pump, with reel and Viper Mini Reel as well. A nozzle box, wash-down gun, safety plate, and a 10 litre Aussie wet/dry vac are all part of the package. “We’ve had terrific support from the plumbing industry about this Jetter program”, said Aussie Jetter Specialist, Anne Wilde. “Plumbers love the idea of ‘getting jetting’, especially with our Cobra stainless steel frame, spaceefficient cube design, and free extended engine and pump warranty”, she said. The 100% depreciation allowance also makes a big difference! Buying a jetter before 30 June 2021 provides a 100% instant tax write off. Customers buying a jetter are warned by Aussie to be on the alert for Class B machines being sold to them without warning of operator certification.
