Water Jetting is Important!

Working on a water jetter is not an easy task. There are lots to consider in operating this kind of equipment. Water jetters use high pressure (HP) jet equipment to clean the surfaces of concrete, brickwork and marble, road surfaces, vehicles, walls and buildings. Water jetter is a very effective tool in cleaning and removing blockages from sewer and drainage systems. Before using this tool, be sure to take some time to clean it so that it works properly. Dust and cobweb that are found in a water jetter if it stored in storage room for a long period of time.

Clean the water jetter before using it. It is good to apply lubrication on the friction parts so that it will work properly. Checking the parts of the tool and if they are locked in to their proper places is a good procedure to avoid accident and future damage on the machine. After checking, cleaning and applying lubrication to the machine, its also advised to check the hose if there is a leak that can lead to accident. Water running in high pressure is dangerous. Make sure that the hose is properly installed on the machine in order for the water to run freely. It is better to test the machine after doing the checking and cleaning. Try to operate the machine and observe if it is working properly. After using the machine put it on a safe place that is far from dust, fire and very high temperature.

Water jetters work in all types of work place such as buildings and engineering projects as well as public and private places. Many water jetters are used for contractors that provide services to their customers like constructions and engineering industries. It ranges from small to large industries that need a great number of staff. One common about water jetter operators is that they are self-employed and work on a labor basis only. Training is provided for water jetter operators. Most workers took a short course for water jetting operation in order to be certified.

There are many types of water jetters and they are differentiated by the amount of pressure they give off. They are classified as Low Pressure, high pressure and ultra high pressure water cleaning. In a low pressure water jetter, the pressure is less than 5,000 psi. High pressure water jetters uses pressure that range to 10,000 to 25,000 psi. Ultra high pressure jetting uses pressure of more than 25, 000 psi. The purpose of each machine differs on where they suppose to use.
