Warthog vs Double Ended Root Ranger Nozzle

This is a demonstration of 2 nozzles with front jets attempting to clear a massive Bougainvillea root blockage from a pipe. The Australian Bougainvillea has an extremely tough root that can bend eel cables and prevent jetter nozzles from clearing pipes all together. Here we show the Warthog nozzle first then the Double Ended Root Ranger Nozzle. Both powered by the same machine - a 5000psi Racejet at 21LPM through 60m 1/4" and 60m 3/16" Armadillo Premium jet hose via a Mustang Nozzles Remote Mini Reel using quick connectors.

OK I have five warthog nozzles, the big ones for 18 gallons a minute 4000 PSI machine and some of those nozzles are over 12 years old. There are limitations to everything but I have to tell you those friggin warthogs are amazing. There's definitely a trick to using them. And you're right they lose their effectiveness when they stop rotating so the trick is to feel the rotation in the hose which you can do fairly easily. Run up to the stop point pounded a little bit and when you feel the nozzle stop rotating pullback 1 inch maybe 2 inches and sit there and chew. Counting in your head maybe 30 seconds in one exact spot. You're using the water like a saw blade. It's a good technique and it usually lets you inch in little by little.

It didnt seem to get that big root out at the end, what would you do to get that out?

[@philshen1899]

Looks like an awesome nozzle. But I'd be too scared if it got stuck

[@DrainAddict]

I buy all my jetting equipment from Jetters Edge because they sell and make the worlds best jetting equipment. Fact!

[@philshen1899]

You are my hero drain addict!! So is ratty!

[@simondavis5382]

Awesome demo guys!

[@tfactor7998]

Definitely didn't give the warthog near as much time to punch those roots as the root ranger. We use warthogs exclusively and they are impressive tools. For spinning issues when the roots are especially thick, we use a small punch out nozzle to open up a little space. One question I would have, is that back facing nozzle on the root ranger going to destroy the life span of that hose its blasting constantly?

[@thejettersedge]

Jeremy Williams Because the Hose is smooth it won’t damage the surface. They are both great nozzles 😊

[@gecko1956]

Would it not have been easier to just pull the roots out the end of the tube?

[@thejettersedge]

gecko1956 It is for the purpose of demonstrating the 2 Nozzles 👍

We use Worthogs daily, and occasionally we get stuck. I'm positive that the Rootranger is a " get stuck on a regular basis " jetter. And those roots the size of your thumb....You're digging it up, and repairing the pipe because the integrity has been compromised anyway.

[@bentwater879]

I'm looking to get a jetter for residential probably 4000psi 4gpm just for flushing buildup and grease. For roots I have a RodRunner by General Pipe Cleaners and K50 by Ridgid. A man contacted me to locate what me thought was a break in his claytile. He had already used a drum machine with 3/4" cable with no success. Found it was just a huge root mass with my camera and the Rodrunner's 11/4" cable made short work of it.

[@marinosanchez9816]

You guys are comparing a bad ass warthog vs a very good jetting nozzle. Sadly, the demo isn’t accurate. Warthog uses the pressure from the rear jetting heads to demolish the build up. The forward attack tip has nowhere near the force of the rear Jets. The price is definitely on the premium side. However, if you ever come a across a LARGE root nat at 400’ (or any distance) you can count on a warthog to do the job right!

[@JayCollier-cc9cz]

One defect or void and that jets getting stuck. My warthog is my go to fats, rags and roots it will tackle it all

Hi handsome. Where can I buy your products in the USA ? Please consider purchasing XRP, XLM, XDC. These are cryptio currencies. Great products

[@brian2100]

How the hell to you make a turn with that in the pipe

[@twincitydrain8041]

Lets see the Eel blow through that one. None of the Jetter nozzles did.

[@bill26011]

This root ball was pulled from a drain after both an eel and a Jetter had a go at it. These roots are like hardwood.

[@thomasbroking7943]

Twin City Drain i always used auto feed machines. .if that was inside 100 feet i would have cabled it..i don't mind sharpening blades and pulling back a foot or so of roots at a time..just like the jet, you cant force it..as long as the machine is feeding and retrieving i can spend an hour or so..

[@chungniem9494]

Stay away from Piranha hoses if you're buying a jetter. They are the worst hoses I have ever used!! The rear spray of the root ranger would likely shred up a Piranha hose

[@kcmartin4535]

what brand of hose do you like?

[@dangda-ww7de]

I dont know if it would make the turn, its good on strait line.

[@bill26011]

dang0088 da They make 90 degree bends in 4” no problems 👍

[@metrotoronto2008]

how can it turn on a 90?

[@drain119]

good

How is this head at going around bends ?

[@thejettersedge]

MRLEGOSTARKILLER It is designed to go around a 4” 90 degree bend 👍

[@raymondjwissing2316]

I SEE , I SEE THAT AND THAT HOW IS WORKING JET OOHHH COOL

[@TechGuruLamar]

Not Impressed at All

[@007MegaRoll]

warthog sucks, ranger rocks. Even one sided would have worked well. And its 3 times cheaper. But I made my own , just connected 2 turbo nozzles from amazon into self made adapter coupling . For $40 you cant beat it and it beats $1500 overpriced warthog nozzle , its way overpriced

[@delasantos]

How the hell did you make that? worthy of a video or pictures for sure!

[@Milwaukeebosch]

Can u show how it done

[@carlstreeval6849]

Let's see It plz

[@markhill9344]

I made one too, I have yet to use it. Send me a email and I’ll send a picture of what I have. I’m thinking of making some modifications to it. But any my email is [e-mail]
