What Draincleaner should I choose?
We advise to use a Draincleaner that uses low pressures
For the maintenance of drainage in agriculture and large greens (sports fields, golf courses, etc.) we advise to use Draincleaners that categorize as low pressure machines. An Homburg Draincleaner uses a pump pressure of 35 bar, which results in a water pressure of 10-15 bar at the nozzle. Homburg Draincleaners thus use a low pressure.

When do I use what nozzle?
This depends on the type of soil
This depends on the type of soil. It is important to know that we do not disrupt the natural drainage function of the soil surrounding the drainage pipe. In delicate sandy soils one should rinse with a lower pressure than heavier clay soils. We thus advice rinsing head depending on the type of soil.
Below you can find a small overview of some of our nozzles and their use. More nozzles are available in our webshop.
Standard nozzle ½" konical with 2mm jetholes 12+1
Standard nozzle for regular maintenance use in ‘open’ pipes that are not extremely polluted. This nozzle is suitable for removing iron oxidation and other pollution.
Nozzle ½” conical special 8+4
Suitable for usage in pipes that have not been rinsed for a long time and that more heavily polluted. Pipes that are filled with dirt for over 50% will be nicely soaked by the 4 jets aimed forwardly.
Nozzle with dubble torpedo 24+1
When one knows that a lot of quicksand is present in the drainage, this nozzle can be used. This nozzle has 24 holes aimed backward and 1 aimed forwards, which creates a much lower water pressure and a higher water flow, causing the sand to nicely flow out of the drain.
