Easier, More Economical Way to Locate Leakage
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.

Made In America For More Than 50 Years
Don’t be fooled by imitations! More than 50 years of technical advancements made rugged, all-metal Kinetic Water Ram® from General Pipe Cleaners the choice for quickly clearing clogged lines with the power of compressed air.
Just pump it up, insert into a drain – and snap the trigger. It’s that fast.
Environmentally friendly, the compact, portable tool is cleaner than snakes – and safer than chemicals. It requires no electrical power or CO2 gas. And it’s great for plumbing, drain cleaning, maintenance, and rental applications.
Lightweight and economical, futuristic Kinetic Water Ram generates a shock wave that instantly pulverizes stoppages in 1-1/4” to 4” lines – yet won’t harm pipes.
The shock wave bypasses vents and bends to batter clogs. And the built-in pump and pressure gauge lets operators choose the right amount of force for each job.
An optional toilet attachment screws onto the front of Kinetic Water Ram, turning it into a powerful plunger. The specially designed accessory precisely positions in bowls for a tight seal, hitting blockages with maximum impact – and no splash back.
General’s sleek, plated Kinetic Water Ram comes in a sturdy carrying case with molded compartments for the tool and accessories. A Schraeder valve for use with an external air compressor when clearing difficult blockages is also provided.

Zoeller Pump Company’s 912 Sewage and Grinder Package Systems have a new design with the Contractor in mind. For years we’ve been hearing from customers on these systems, ‘We love your pumps, but your package system could use some improvement’. Well, we took that feedback, and Sales, Marketing, & Engineering teamed together to revamp these systems to not only deliver on the Contractor’s needs, but to go above and beyond in the production of this new unit.
We started with the cover. Zoeller’s new PSF cover has a removable access port for quick and easy inspection of the system’s internal components. It has two threaded 2” discharges that can either both be used for discharge in a Duplex configuration, or that can be used for discharge and vent in a Simplex configuration.
In a Duplex configuration we also leave additional space on the cover for a vent to be drilled. The new design also has a stainless-steel tag affixed to the cover that relays important pump/system and electrical information as well as leaves a space for the Contractor to leave their information for the system owner, should they so please.
Pump Features
- Cast iron construction (model 264/model 266)
- Thermoplastic construction (model 211)
- Automatic or piggyback configuration available
- Full 2” (50 mm) spherical solids capacity
- Thermal overload protection
- Non-clogging vortex impeller
- 3 year limited warranty on Model 264/266
Inside the basin we added a spring-loaded PVC float tree that snaps in and out of place with the help of molded grips to make inspection and maintenance a breeze. We also added molded torque stops to hold the pump in place and increase stability. On the outside we included a 360-degree molded handle for easy transportation and installation of the system that also serves as an anti-flotation device helping to secure the system in place and keep it there once installed. Finally, the system now ships with a clear construction cover to protect the unit from any masonry work or debris.
