Hi

I am trying to locate a pump like what the utilities use to pressure blast a blocked water mains or similar.

I have seen it done but cant find anything that I need to do this. Anyone know any makes and models please?

It builds up pressure in the pump and then you release to burst a blockage. Handheld type system preferred.

I have seen an emeric but does that build up pressure then release for a burst through the pipeline? Any suggestions appreciated.

THANKS
 
Pressure washer or power jetter

Context for issue: Last winter the temperature switch on my boiler shorted somehow, the boiler was then running WAY too hot and ended up blowing/melting a hole in one of the pipes. I repaired this by putting in a new stretch of pipe in and just connecting it to the existing pipes with two...
