Caution - Drain Opener

I'm sure part of my problem is not understanding the product, but here's my story. They have a 2 inch line from the kitchen that needs cleaning about once a year, so the roots are adopted. Follow the instructions and pour the product for cleaning according to the instructions. There was as little water in the line as possible, as soon as the product touched the water it started to foam and not only went back to the dry cleaners but also ended up in the kitchen sink. I tried adding water toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Some flaws

Funnel not included --- and UPDATE

The description doesn't mention the need for a funnel, but the product instructions state that the funnel should be used to mix the roots and then pour them down the drain to water . The funnel is NOT included, although the instructions for use say it is to be used. Strange! UPDATE: I will NEVER order this again unless it competes with the funnel the instructions say to use. I had to put the contents in a separate container (a plastic bag that I could seal) to mix the powder before use. Evenโ€ฆ

  • Drain Opener

USED โ€‹โ€‹ONLY - Household Products

Ok Plumbers just went they said I have small roots they showed me small black roots they took a 3 inch pipe cutter and cut off what was left. I asked her to help me put things in the toilet so a pro did it. I give 3 stars because I don't know how it will end. I'll check in a month or so to let you know if the pipes are clogged again. It's only been 45 days since the last plumber was here, he said the same 'little roots' so if they come back this time in 45 days we'll know if it worked or notโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Health & Household

  • Doubt

Keeps my roots clean

My neighbor has the wrong tree in the wrong place. I replaced the pipe once and it was still running so slowly that when a heavy downpour was approaching I had to start the backyard pump automatically. So the plumber told me about it. not very easy to apply, but if you do it right, the lines stay sharp. I use it twice a year. Since my drain is on its side at the bottom of the recess, I had to improvise. So I made a 90 degree bracket out of 2" PVC with a 90 degree bend leading to a 3" verticalโ€ฆ
