Sieger suction hose now 15 metres standard
Wednesday 09 November 2016
The Sieger drain cleaner has always been equipped with a high quality, 10-metre-long suction hose. A 15-metre hose was available as an option. Having discussed the matter with various users, Sieger has now decided to deliver the Drain-Jet with the longer, 15-metre suction hose as standard. When it comes to decisions like these, we at Sieger have always considered the feedback from our customers to be very important in helping us to make the drain cleaner as effective and user-friendly as possible.
Although the drain cleaner works perfectly well with a 10-metre suction hose, increasing the length to 15 metres is beneficial to the user in two important ways. Firstly, it is now easier to use the drain cleaner in combination with an external water tank as the source of flushing water. The second advantage is even more important: it is now possible to place the suction strainer in the water even farther from the end of the drainage pipe. This reduces the risk that the flushed-out contaminants are sucked in again.
Incidentally, we have also recently seen systems in which the suction hose is hung on the guide arm. Precisely because of the great advantage of placing the strainer free and as far as possible from the end of the drainage pipe, Sieger is naturally not in favour of this practice. In addition, it is always wise to pay attention to any flow in the water and place the suction filter on the clean side (upstream) of the drainpipe.
The suction hose is made of high quality materials, one of the benefits of which is continued flexibility even at lower temperatures. Drain cleaning is often performed during the winter, and this suction hose is suitable for use down to -25 °C! The choice of material also contributes to the ease of use, because the suction hose is therefore always easy to handle.
The new 15-metre-long suction hose is now supplied standard with the Sieger Drain Jet drain cleaner at no extra cost.
