You really want to know, huh? First off, I spent over 30 years in the electrical industry. And I had a bunch of my old 'power fishing' equipment samples. Most are shot but a few still work.
I had filled my pvc with water last week since I knew it was filthy with 5+ years of dirt and my pulling tape to kind of clean it out. Then I closed off the lower end of it with duct tape and refilled with water. An old trick is that if you have a break in the line, the water will fill the holes, usually enough to blow a line thru. I hooked up my old CO2 bottle and hit it with a good shot of pressure. It's pretty stout, better than a blower/vac can ever do. Undoubtedly, the water had loosened everything up enough that it blew all the dirt and my pull tape out the closed off end. It's been 20+ years since I've done that and I had forgotten just how bad it could be at the closed off end but my wife found out. She was a bit too close and got covered in $&*#. Luckily she still loves me. I've got water and dawn in the pipe now to clean it out. I will blow it out again in a few more days with water and then air. Then I can blow a pull line in the pvc so I can pull my wire.
