Backream Fluid Requirements

Backreaming is only successful when enough fluid reaches the bore. The amount of fluid needed depends 
on size of bore and soil condition.

Follow these steps to find the 

minimum

 amount of fluid needed in perfect conditions.   

IMPORTANT: 

Use more fluid than recommended or the backream might be dry and unsuccessful.

Instructions

Example

1.

Find amount of fluid needed for your size of 
backreamer. See the table on the next page.

U.S.

 A 6” backreamer requires at least 1.47

gal/ft.

Metric

 A 152-mm backreamer requires at least 

18.24 L/m.

2.

Multiply this number by distance per minute 
you plan to backream. The answer is an 
estimate of amount of fluid you will need for 
each minute of backreaming.

U.S.

1.5 gal x 2 ft/min = 3 gal for each minute of 

backreaming.

Metric

 18 L x .5 m/min = 9 L for each minute of 

backreaming

IMPORTANT: 

After you have determined how much fluid you will need, see your Ditch Witch

®

 dealer for 

nozzle recommendations.
