Clean virtually any surface
One advantage of water jetting equipment is that a typical contractor size pump (60lpm at 1000bar) can be used for a wide variety of cleaning applications by selecting the correct accessory. For example, if working in a refinery, the same pump can be used for heat exchanger cleaning, pipe cleaning, vessel cleaning, drain cleaning, cold cutting, surface preparation & general plant cleaning.
Depending on the application, fresh or seawater can be used as the cleaning medium
