General Pipe Cleaners’ Kinetic Water Ram™ quickly and cleanly clears clogged drains with green power.

Just pump it up, insert in the drain, and snap the trigger. It’s that quick. The environmentally safe Kinetic Water Ram uses compressed air to generate a shock wave that pulverizes the stoppage instantly. The shock wave bypasses vents and goes around bends to reach the stoppage with only 2% loss of power.  The built in pump and pressure gauge let the operator select the right amount of force for each job.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAThe lightweight, compact tools is cleaner than snakes, safer than chemicals, and uses NO electrical power or CO2 gas.

An optional toilet attachment screws onto the front of the Kinetic Water Ram to turn it into a powerful plunger.  The specially designed attachment enables the operator to position the cone in the bowl to get a tighter seal.  This allows the blockage to be struck with greater impact and no splash back.

The tool has a sleek plated body and comes in a sturdy carrying case with molded compartments for the Ram and accessories needed to handle 1-1/4” to 4” lines.
