A step by step guide to using a hydrojet pump

Step 1 – Seal off over flows

Seal off any over flows. A damp towel or cloth can be used, or an alternative method would be to use a piece of tape (strong adhesive tape is best e.g. duct tape).

Step 2 – Remove plugs

Remove any drain or plug hole covers

Step 3 – Fit correct washer

Select and fit the washer of the correct size to the hydrojet pump

Step 4 – Fill sink

Fill the sink with water (if needed).

Step 5 – Draw handle out of body

Draw the handle out of the body, to draw water into the body of the plunger.

Step 6 – Plunge handle down

Forcefully press down on the plunger handle. This will release a jet of water down the drain to shift the blockage.

Step 7 – Check flow

To check the flow of water, pour water in to the sink, and watch to see if it flows away down the drain (if the blockage is clear you will see the water level drop).

If there is still a blockage present, repeat steps 4 to 6.
