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.
