The subject of reverse flushing few months ago. This has been in our shop
since the 1930's . These really work excellent. Somebody here wanted a pic so here it is. If you come across one of these buy it.. sam |

My dad made one out of a sand blasting gun. There are separate shuyoffs for the water and air. I let the block fill up and then hit the air button blowing the water out of the block.

I have 2, work great, if you take a 3' long piece of straight hose it will toss a "bucket" of water on someone 20 feet away

I have the KR Wilson version of this. I haven't used it yet, but understand they work pretty well.

Re: Zoo Mfg. Co.
The shop at the dairy I worked in after I got out of the service had one. We used it a bunch. I found one a couple of years ago at a swap meet. Had to tell the guy what it was. I think I paid 10 bucks for it. Never know when it will come in handy.

Re: Zoo Mfg. Co.
Can someone please explain to me in detail how this tool works? I get the basic idea but I'm interested to know more.

Water goes through it, via a hose connection and then it also hooks up to a compressor. The air pushes the water through under high pressure. The combination of water under pressure clears out gunk that just compressed air or normal water pressure won't.
