SAFETY SYMBOLS

This is the safety alert symbol. It is
used to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all safety mes-
sages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.
DANGER indicates a hazard with a high level of risk
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazard with a medium level of risk
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a hazard with a low level of risk which,
if not avoided, will result in minor or moderate injury.
Always wear safety glasses and rubber
soled, non-slip shoes. Use of this safety
equipment may prevent serious injury.
Never use the tool in a drain with a
chemical drain cleaner in it. Any hazard-
ous chemicals in the drain water should be
siphoned out or otherwise removed before
proceeding.
WHAT IS THE WATER RAM?
The Kinetic Water Ram easily clears debris, sediment, scale, and
grease in 1-1/4" to 4" drain lines. It's an ideal tool for maintaining
apartment buildings, hotels, schools, universities, restaurants, hospi-
tals, RV and trailer parks, and other locations with multiple drains. It's
safer than chemicals, cleaner than snakes, and less expensive and
more precise than CO cartridges.

The Water Ram is particularly effective when the stoppage is on the
far side of a drum trap or a series of difficult bends that would stop a
traditional plumbing snake.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Kinetic Water Ram uses a burst of compressed air, which strikes
the column of water in the clogged pipe. The resulting shock wave,
called kinetic energy, hits the stoppage at a speed of approximately
4,700 feet per second, quickly clearing the blockage and flushing the
waste particles away. Since the shock wave travels so fast, it by-
passes vents and stacks, and 98% of the force hits the clog head-on.
There's no pressure build-up in the system, so pipes and joints aren't
affected.
