‘Fierce’ 5-series goes with the Flow
The Andy Guest Jetters 5-Series diesel jetterwas launched in January as itsmost powerful and technically advancedmachine to date.We talked to Easy FlowSolutions, the first company in Ireland to take delivery, about its performance in the field.
Easy Flow Solutions is a family-run drainage business established in 2013 by Trevor Coady. The firmis based in Kilkenny City and operates throughout South East Ireland providing 24/7 call-out drainage services, including unblocking and cleaning, CCTV drain surveys and no-dig repairs, for domestic, commercial and industrial clients.
When it came time to change his old jetter, Trevor looked at several competitors but kept coming back to Andy Guest. “I did some research and enquired about other jetters but wasn’t too keen on the other
options.My head was probably already set on Andy Guest and the new 5-Series.”
As it turns out, his first jetter was a second-hand Andy Guest powered by a 4-cylinder Lombardini engine and Prattisoli pump. “It was already old when I bought it 10 years ago,” says Trevor. “But it was very reliable and servedme well.”
“At that time it was a whole new beginning forme in the drainage industry, but I love the business, with its different challenges and different people and I get a lot of satisfaction fromthe work!”
Trevor first heard about the new 5-Series through Technical Camera Services (TCS), an Andy Guest Distributor in Ireland. The County Mayo-based business had been supplying Easy Flow Solutions with drainage equipment, such as CCTV cameras, for several years.
“I also spoke to Jon (SalesManager) at Andy Guest. He said, go see the lads inMayo because they’ll be able to handle all your servicing and installation needs. And they couldn’t have been better - 100% genuine.”
Trevor says choosing the 5-Series over othermachines came down to performance: “With its increased flow rate, the 5-Series seemed like the right choice for the work we do, which can range from1½" pipes up to 14". Although themachine was a bitmore expensive than I was planning, I thought, if you’re going to do it, do it right.”
The 5-Series diesel van-pack jettingmachine has been designed as a powerful, emissions-compliant solution for contractors tackling the toughest drainage tasks. Replacing the popular 4-Series, the new jetter utilises a best-in-class Yanmar diesel engine to deliver 3000psi @ 16gpmperformance and can be used in pipeline diameters up to 350mm. Thanks to the inclusion of a diesel particulate filter (DPF), the 5-Seriesmeets all Stage V emissions regulations with no compromise on performance.
“I will admit it took a bit of time to get used to the higher flow rate of the newmachine,”explains Trevor. “I added some new nozzles and I now have everything working well. I’mvery pleased with the performance and it’smore efficient thanmy previousmachine. It
