7 Essential Things to Consider Before Purchasing a Jetter

HotJet’s Trailer Mounted Jetters are among the highest quality sewer jetting equipment available. We manufacture both hot and cold water jetter trailers and can customize a trailer-mounted sewer jetter or hydro jetter to fit your specific needs. In addition, we specialize in mobile cart jetters, drain jetters, and truck mounted, and skid-mounted sewer jetters to provide versatile solutions for various applications. Speak with one of our experienced sewer jetter experts today to learn more about finding the right jetting system for your business!

Investing in a Trailer Mounted Jetter for your plumbing or service business requires careful research. Choosing the right equipment is crucial to ensuring efficiency, longevity, and reliability. Here are seven key factors to consider before making your purchase:

1. AVOID BUYING FROM P.O. BOX OR WEB-ONLY SELLERS

When purchasing an expensive piece of jetting equipment, always ensure you’re dealing with a reputable company with a physical presence and dedicated support. Web-only operations or companies using a P.O. Box may not be there when you need service, parts, or warranty support. Before you buy your trailer jetter, ask yourself the question: Will this company provide long-term support? Do they have experience with jetting equipment and servicing it?

2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE - DON'T OVERSIZE OR UNDERSIZE YOUR JETTER

Selecting the right-sized jetter for your specific application is critical. If you need to clean storm drains, a small jetter won’t have the necessary power. On the other hand, if you’re focused on sewer and lateral line cleaning, a massive jetter might be overkill and could even cause damage. Carefully assess your needs and choose a jetter with the right balance of PSI, GPM, and hose size to handle your jobs efficiently.

By considering these factors, you can ensure that you invest in the best sewer jetter equipment to maximize performance and long-term success in your business.


3. AVOID BUYING FROM FRANCHISED OR BIG-NAME DEALERS

Are franchised jetter dealers or national brands the best choice?

(You’re often paying extra due to commissions!)

Is factory-direct purchasing the smarter option?

(After all, aren’t all machines shipped from a factory?)

At HotJet, we build our Trailer Jetter using non-proprietary components—including motors, pumps, and other essential parts. This means you’re not locked into expensive, dealer-exclusive parts and services. Instead, you can source replacement parts and maintenance solutions easily, saving you both time and money.

We sell our jetting trailers factory-direct, eliminating the middleman and avoiding unnecessary franchise fees or high-commission sales staff. As a U.S.-based, family-owned company, we provide direct access to the factory and distributor, ensuring you get expert service, high-quality equipment, and the best value for your investment.

4. CHOOSE A MACHINE DESIGNED FOR EASY MAINTENANCE

A sewer jetter trailer should be built for easy servicing—if it’s not, think twice before buying! Many jetters on the market are over-engineered or poorly designed, making routine maintenance a hassle. Consider essential tasks like changing oil on the motor and pump, replacing belts, or rebuilding a pump—will these be simple or a nightmare? Every jetter will require servicing at some point, so make sure it’s engineered for easy access and repairs to save you time and money in the long run.

5. UNDERSTAND THE WARRANTY & SERVICE LOCATIONS

Before purchasing, always request a written warranty and verify where service and repair locations are available. Knowing this upfront ensures you won’t be left stranded when you need support!

6. LOWEST PRICE DOESN’T MEAN THE BEST VALUE – QUALITY MATTERS!

A cheap jetter may seem like a good deal, but when it comes to performance and durability, quality pays off. Our trailer-mounted sewer jetters are built to the highest standards, ensuring long-term reliability and the best return on investment. From the trailer construction to the jetting components, our equipment stands out in both quality and performance.


7. DOES THE COMPANY PROVIDE A COMPLETE SOLUTION?

Beyond just selling equipment, does the company offer a full package? The right provider should deliver high-quality jetting equipment, hands-on operational training, and professional marketing support. At HotJet, we go the extra mile with comprehensive training classes and expert guidance, ensuring you get the most out of your investment.
