The cylindrical body (10) has an open bottom and holds water to be injected into a clogged pipe. The compression assembly (2) has a drive shaft (12) and a piston (17) mounted slidably in the cylindrical body (10). The tapered end cap (20) is mounted on the open bottom of the cylindrical body (10) and has a spout (29). The nozzle assembly (3) has a valve (40) having a cylindrical disk (41) mounted slidably in the spout (29) and having multiple charging holes (411), and a nozzle (50, 60).
