Cleaning trunk lines with a pig brush

[pdr]

Wondering if anyone has used a "pig" brush to clean a trunk or mainline on a vac system? I have several thousand feet of !" tubing I'd like to try it on. If it's worth doing, where can I get one. Thanks.

My advise, "DON'T USE A LINE CLEANING PIG". I tried one once and lost the little piglet in a 1,100' long main line. I spent hours looking for that pig. I took tees apart, couplings apart, inspected every inch of that 1,100' line three times. Finally, about 2/3 through the next season, the foam pig showed up in the sap tank. It is still a mystery where the pig was stuck.

If you really want to try it you can get one at a good electrical supply store.
