The Next Generation Flexible-Shaft Drain Cleaner
General Pipe Cleaners has rethought high-speed, flexible shaft drain cleaners with the new Flexi-Rooter® 100 – the next generation flexible shaft machine.
Rugged and reliable, Flexi-Rooter 100 offers:
- A stronger flexible shaft with the strength to cut through roots in 4″ lines yet flexible enough to negotiate 2″ lines.
- Integral variable speed motor with foot pedal to allow you to use both hands to safely guide the flexible shaft into the line.
- Two-part cleaning array combines unique ClogChopper® cutters with carbide chain cutters for a formidable combination.
Flexible shaft technology is faster and more thorough than conventional cable drain cleaners. The shaft spins more than 10 times faster than drum machines. At speeds up to 2200 rpm, cutters quickly grind up stoppages and scour pipe walls clean. The shaft is safely protected inside a sheath, so it’s easy to handle – no spinning drums.
Flexi-Rooter 100’s stronger, stiffer shaft is flexible enough to navigate 2″ pipes – yet strong enough to cut roots in 4″ drain lines up to 75 feet long. And the integral, variable-speed motor easily lets you adjust shaft speed from zero to 2200 rpm.
General’s foot pedal control further frees both hands to guide the shaft into the line. Operators can also simultaneously use Flexi-Rooter with a sewer camera system to pinpoint pipe trouble areas – and instantly inspect results.
Flexi-Rooter 100’s two-part cleaning array features General’s unique ClogChopper® cutters combined with carbide chain cutters for a formidable combination.
Revolutionary ClogChopper cutters rip through tough clogs with six self-sharpening blades that dig into encrusted debris and root masses, easily grinding up stoppages, scale, and crystallized urine. The spherical design maneuvers around tight bends and traps.
Flexi-Rooter 100’s durable metal frame includes 10″ wheels and folding handle to facilitate transport to and from jobs. A safety slip clutch helps protects the flexible shaft. And if you ever do get into trouble, the shaft is field-repairable!

The Gen-Ear LE® from General Pipe Cleaners provides a simple, more economical water leak locator with stronger sound amplification than competitive systems offer.
Gen-Ear LE can pinpoint water leaks in residential and commercial water lines – including problems in walls and under concrete slabs, swimming pools, and hot tubs.
General’s compact amplifier fits easily in the palm of your hand – providing noise-free amplification with built-in, preset audio filters to eliminate settings guesswork.
High performance headphones with noise cancellation also block interference from ambient noise. And when released, an amplifier safety button mutes sudden loud noises.
Gen-Ear LE’s advanced acoustic ground sensor accurately detects the gurgling or hammering of water escaping from cracked pipes under concrete, asphalt, or tile. Probe rods pinpoint problems beneath soft surfaces like grass or carpet. And the magnetic attachment locates above ground pipe or hydrant leaks.
For especially hard-to-find leaks, the Sound Amplification Module adds air to the line, increasing water pressure and amplifying leak sounds to aid precise problem location.
Two AA batteries power Gen-Ear LE for 20 or more hours. To extend battery life, the system automatically shuts down when headphones are removed. And the power light blinks to indicate low batteries.

Designed to Remove Concrete, Heavy Debris, and CIPP Lining without Damaging Host Pipe
The Vortex Companies, a leading provider of advanced trenchless water and sewer technologies and infrastructure renewal services, introduced its new Vortex® AccuPower™ High-Pressure Water Blaster. The high-pressure water jet technology is capable of removing hardened concrete, heavy debris and cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining without damaging host pipes.
The new Vortex AccuPower High-Pressure Water Blaster is built upon decades of Schwalm robotics expertise. The AccuPower system can be quickly configured on a Schwalm robot within 10 minutes, eliminating the need for existing Schwalm robot owners to invest in a new robot. Engineered for pipes eight to 40 inches in diameter, it allows operators to cut through the harshest aging infrastructure debris, including concrete and failed CIPP liners. With powerful 40,000 psi output and precisely calibrated jets, it avoids compromising host pipes or original infrastructure.
The AccuPower High-Pressure Water Blaster offers more than 40 jet and nozzle options for maximum versatility to customize the water jet for any obstruction and environment, such as a 12” lance that prevents camera clouding for greater visibility. Additionally, AccuPower jets are manufactured with diamond material to protect against wear and eliminate the need for replacement jets.
“The AccuPower High-Pressure Water Blaster offers the broadest range of motion available with 180° camera rotation, 210° arm rotation and 360° swivel rotation,” said Nick Patrick, General Manager, Vortex Technologies Group. “We’ve incorporated a 15° fanjet design that provides five times more coverage than conventional spinner water jets to cut away large areas of debris quickly and safely, and with greater accuracy. Operators now have maximum control over the water blasting range, completely eliminating collateral damage during the cutting operation.”
“The AccuPower High-Pressure Water Blaster’s purpose-built arm coupled with the broadest range of nozzle and jet combinations available adds a completely new performance dimension to Schwalm robotics,” added Mike Vellano, CEO of The Vortex Companies. “The AccuPower elevates high-pressure water jet technology, providing unmatched safety, power, precision, and operator usability.”
