🚜 3,000 PSI Water Wand + 1,200-3,000 CFM Positive Displacement Blower Daylighting

Vacuum Hydro-Excavation Potholing Calculator

Size non-destructive vacuum hydro-excavation (daylighting) operations for exposing live gas mains, fiber cables, and high-voltage feeders without strike damage: calculate pressurized water cutting flow (GPM at 2,500-3,000 PSI with oscillating turbo nozzle), vacuum blower airflow (1,200 to 3,000 CFM), debris tank cubic yards, and hydro-vac profits.
