Abstract
A sewer cleaning apparatus which has a hollow cylindrical body propelled by a plurality of water jets with a clam shell opening on the front of the apparatus operated by a plurality of piston assemblies that are attached to the sides of the cylindrical body. The apparatus is propelled by high pressure water ejected from the apparatus in a rearward direction. The high pressure water operates the piston assembly opening the clam shell and provides forward thrust for the apparatus allowing the hollow bucket type object to trap solids inside apparatus.
