Frequently Asked Questions

High-pressure waterblasting equipment offers industrial cleaning solutions at up to 40,000 psi (2,750 bar). This provides more power than traditional pressure washing and is ideal for applications that range from surface preparation to hydrodemolition to industrial tank, tube and pipe cleaning.

There is a wide variety of high-pressure waterblasting applications. Many contractors use this powerful and efficient method for surface preparation and cleaning, pipe cleaning, tube cleaning, tank and vessel cleaning, hydrodemolition and abrasive waterjetting.

New applications are continuously emerging in a variety of industries. Some of the most common industries using waterblasting are automotive, paper mills, steel mills, pool plaster removal and surfacing, refineries, infrastructure, power generation, marine/shipyard, sugar and ethanol, mining and food processing.

Jetstream offers a full range of waterblasting equipment options, including pumps, units and signature tools, for jobs ranging from commercial cleaning to industrial applications that require maximum waterblasting pressure. Our experienced team is happy to work with our customers to help them find the ideal combination of solutions for their specific jobs, whether they are looking to purchase waterblasting equipment or prefer to rent from one of our Jetstream Rentals locations.

We partner with other leading manufacturers to offer automated waterblasting solutions through our Jetstream Rentals locations. Our pumps and waterblasting units can be used with mechanized equipment including Peinemann indexers, Derc Salotech MagTracks and Aquajet hydrodemolition robots.

Cleaning with high-pressure waterblasting is highly effective and efficient. Our products are particularly productive for tube cleaning, pipe cleaning and vessel cleaning. Industrial waterblasting is also an effective method for surface preparation and removing old coatings and residue.

Our patented UNx™ Fluid End technology is at the heart of every Jetstream pump and allows operators to quickly change operating pressures in the field. Maintenance can be completed without special tools right on the jobsite, reducing downtime for changing out packing, univalves and plungers. Our signature tools are designed with minimal parts for reduced maintenance requirements and simple in-the-field repairs. We produce our equipment in our factory and engineer our products for unrivaled durability and strength for maximum waterblast cleaning efficiency.

We know maintaining waterblast tools takes valuable time, so we pride ourselves on minimizing that downtime as much as possible. One of the key ways we do this is through simplified design. For example, our J-Force pipe cleaning tool consists of just 12 parts plus the nozzle inserts, while competing products have upward of 20 parts. We also engineer tools, like our Orbi-Jet™ X-22 surface cleaning tool, without the need for oil or other fluids. Learn more about our low maintenance waterblasting tools in our blog.
