Abstract
A sewer cleaning unit is disclosed which comprises a single tank assembly mounted on a wheeled vehicle. The single tank assembly has a substantially horizontal fixed divider forming a first tank portion adapted to carry and discharge a supply of water, and a second tank portion adapted to receive and hold debris, thus obviating the disadvantages of tank designs of the prior art. The unit may also be provided with hand-operated control means near the intake end of the conduit connected to the second tank portion and a control means connected to the reel for the hose from which water is discharged from the first tank portion, the reel control means and the hand-operated control means capable of being operated simultaneously by a single operator.
