General Pipe Cleaners
The Easy Rooter from General Pipe Cleaners is now easier to use. The redesigned frame features a built-in brake that holds the machine securely on the job or in a customer's car going to and from the job. Capable of clearing 3- to 10-inch drain lines clogged with roots and other severe stoppages, the Easy Rooter cage holds 100 feet of 3/4-inch or 5/8-inch Flexicore cable. Other features include a powder-coated square-tube steel frame with special roll bars to protect the motor; roller bearings in the zinc-plated steel cage for longer life and greater motor efficiency; 10-inch ball bearing wheels; a zinc-plated folding handle that takes less room in the customer's car trunk; and a 1/3-hp motor with capacitor, thermal overload protection and reverse switch. An air actuated foot pedal, ground fault circuit interrupter and safety slip clutch are all standard safety features.

Electric Eel
The new Electric Eel Model CT features variable-speed motor control designed to give the operator maximum cable control and cleaning power from 75 to 350 rpm with constant torque. Engineered to clean 3/4-inch to 2 ½-inch diameter drain lines up to 50 feet, the standard Model CT counter-top drain cleaner features a hand-tighten Jacobs Chuck. The CT is also available with a 2-way auto cable feed that keeps hands off rotating cable as it advances and retrieves cable with the push of a lever. A cable guide hose eliminates cable whipping and helps keep work areas clean, and a heavy-duty housing protects the motor and internal wiring.

MTA Distributors
MTA Distributors offers TEC-Chem LLC's Drain Clean Enzymatic one gallon BX/4. Formulated with natural enzymes and mild detergents, this non-toxic and biodegradeable waste degrader is designed to work fast to devour organic matter and then continues to work until the source is completely eliminated.
