a challenge, so having the proper tools in your arsenal is essential for ensuring the wellbeing of your drains, removing the need for open trench rehabilitation and protecting against repeat passes. Drainchem is now distributing the latest breakthrough technology for the sewer industry: the Warthog WGR Switcher. A product of innovation, it enables the
operator to switch between two distinct tool functions without the need for adjustment. With two sets of jetting angles in one tool, the Warthog Switcher eliminates the need for changing nozzles. One set of jet angles provides efficient pulling power, while the other setting is angled for highly effective cleaning. The operator can seamlessly switch between pulling or cleaning while still in the line. The Warthog Switcher economises on time and resources by eliminating the extra runs needed to swap between nozzles. This means an operator can run more jobs with only one tank of water. Switching to pulling jets maximises thrust power, while cleaning jets are suitable for clearing debris and cutting roots. Using the Switcher is nearly 50 per cent faster and 35 per cent more water economical than using a traditional rotational or fixed nozzle combination.
