I used a small kids water balloon blown up just enough to fit with a peice of fishing line to it. Then hooked two shop vacs inline to the other end. It worked great!! I have been trying on and off for four years to get something thru a 100+' run of 3/4" buried line. WALA!! I hope this helps someone..
@Crowbar1963 Yeah air works better than filling the thing up with water by far if the pipe is clear. I just had to unblock an 1 1/4 conduit running under my driveway to my power box that had somehow over the years filled with sand so I ran water in from the power box side slowly so it didn't get the inside of the hot box wet with a vac on the other end and after an hour it trickled through and flushed it clean, then I let the vac run all day to dry out the pipe before I ran #6 cable through.
a small bag made from plastic tied to a rope the stick in pipe on the other end use a vaccum cleaner to suck air out of pipe as it does it will put the plastic bubble with the rope through the pipe
