What tools are needed to clean PPR pipes? Which tool is essential?

 

1. Cleaning machine

When cleaning PPR pipes, using an underfloor heating cleaning machine is more thorough. Underfloor heating cleaning machines are used by professional pipe cleaning personnel and require many connectors; non-professionals are prone to operational errors. For cleaning PPR pipes, it's best to leave this professional work to professionals for better results.

 

2. Cleaning cloth

To clean the exterior of PPR pipes, a soft cloth is sufficient. First, wipe the PPR pipe body with a clean, dry cloth. If it's not clean enough, you can wipe it with a damp cloth, which usually works. For oil stains, wet wipes are quicker and more effective.

 

3. Cleaning agent

There are special pipe cleaning agents for PPR pipe cleaning. The choice of pipe cleaning agent is as important as the choice of PPR pipe. When purchasing, check the composition of the cleaning agent, whether it is sanitary and non-toxic, whether it has a product qualification certificate, whether the manufacturer is indicated, how long the production date has passed, etc. Only PPR pipe cleaning agents that meet all these requirements should be selected.

 

4. Air compressor

An air compressor is an auxiliary tool for cleaning pipes. When cleaning PPR pipes, the air compressor compresses the air volume, greatly increasing the air pressure, causing the water flowing from the underfloor heating cleaning machine to instantly become high-pressure water mist, instantly shattering the scale, mud, and other impurities in the pipe, which are then flushed out with the water flow, thus cleaning the PPR pipe.

 

5. Drainage hose

When cleaning PPR pipes, a drainage hose is also needed. Connect the drainage hose to the end of the underfloor heating cleaning machine to drain the wastewater from the pipe into the sewer, preventing wastewater from spilling everywhere and making cleaning very troublesome.
