Right, they are always full of water.
I made a proofing dart with a cup seal at the end.
20 GPM 200 PSI moves it along at about 5 feet per second. The pump was
remarkably cheap to build.
The cable or mule tape is buoyant so that reduces friction and the water does
too. I have read about this for years but never tried it.

Underground condit gets filled with water from condensation anyway, so I'm sure
he doesn't clean it out. I'm assuming he's using a dart and pushing it with
water to pull cable in?

I don't understand how that works (with water). Seems like it would be a
pain to get it out? or do you just leave it in there?
