Yes, my plumber installed it in my sink, and I already had a garbage disposal, so I bought it.
Probably. I had a bad case of toothpaste build-up, and it seemed to solve the slow drain problem.
Yes. This was something I tried a few days ago and it worked great. Visit their website to see what they have to say. I've never used anything quite like it. During the wash cycle, the kitchen sink had filled halfway. Boom! After one minute, everything was clear.

We couldn't use hot water to heat the drain pipe as recommended because it would simply fill the tub. Sadly, no change was noticed after the first use. After a few hours, we tried again, and this time the water was slowly (and I mean SLOWLY) draining. We tried a third time two days later (in the hopes of fully draining the water from the drainpipe and not ready to give up yet), and this time we saw some of the gunk from the drain bubbling up, just like in the YouTube videos we had seen. However, the drain was still not working properly, and the tub was once again filled with hot water. However, when we returned to the bathroom an hour later, all of the water in the tub had vanished! We used the last of the container for the fourth and final attempt, and when we poured boiling water down the drain, it bubbled for a brief moment before draining completely clear! Since then, it's been running smoothly!.
Our tub was draining very slowly. On my first try with Thrift, I followed the instructions and poured a cup down the drain. I simply drank hot water from the tub faucet. The crystals were simply flushed down the drain. didn't do anything That is not something you should do. br>br>On the second try, I used a pot of BOILING water that had been heated on the stove. This time I was able to hear look at the chemical process You can also smell it (it's not bad, but it'll make you want to open a window). remove yourself from the situation). I paused for a few moments after that. The tub was completely clogged and wouldn't drain. In about a 1/2 inch of water, it's actually backing up with black sewerage. 'Oh, no!' I exclaimed. This only exacerbated the situation. ' I ended up slamming it into the ground. I was able to drain it finally. I went to bed thinking about how I'd have to shower in sewerage the next day. The next morning, I'm going to call a plumber. So I awoke. I had a bath BOOM - There was no debris in the drain. The pipes were bursting at the seams, and water was pouring out of them. br>br>Here's my recommendation: Use a cup of crystals. a pot of boiling water Prepare a couple of pots of boiling water, as well as 1 cup of crystals. Rubber gloves and safety glasses are probably a good idea. a mask to keep your nose covered mouth. Pour about 1/2 cup of boiling water (approximately a gallon) down the drain and wait a minute or three. Repeat with the remaining 1/2 cup once the drain has settled. The second gallon of water has been added to the mix. Wait for at least 10 minutes. For about 2 minutes, run hot water from the shower. Another 20 minutes should pass. if the drain hasn't been cleared If the water won't go away, have a plunger on hand. I believe that a quick jolt from the plunger broke up some of the gunk in the pipes. Make sure everyone has showered before allowing the chemical to do its job. Allow it to clear for at least one night. br>br>I'm still undecided about doing this on a regular basis on my cast iron pipes; I don't know enough about this product to know if it will harm them. If you have any information, please leave a comment. It did, however, help with this major stumbling blockage.
I've tried all of the Drano, Roto Rooter, and Liquid Plumber gels, foams, liquids, and crystals with no success, and I've always had to call a plumber. He's an excellent plumber, and he advised me to use Thrift whenever the water in the drain begins to slow down. He advised me to pour a small amount down the drain once a month to keep it unclogged and flowing freely. I've had no clogs in the two years I've been using it. It functions admirably. Thrift will unclog your drain unless it's a deep clog caused by a tree root or something that needs to be forced out, in which case a plumber is required; This is what you need for other stubborn clogs and slow drains. I use it, I trust it, and I'll keep buying it as long as they keep making it.
Our washing machine drains into our utility sink, which has been slow (not clogged, just slow) since we moved in. I tried a few Draino-type products, but they didn't seem to help. This has made a difference; the water is now flowing freely. br>br>To learn how to use it, watch a few YouTube videos. If possible, run some hot water down the drain before pouring about 1 cup of the product down it (it's fine if the product piles up on the drain hole). Then, carefully pour hot water over the product until it dissolves (be careful not to splash). Allow 1 minute for it to work before flushing the drain with hot water. You'll need about 1 cup; I tried using less in another drain and it didn't work nearly as well. About two were used. There is still some product on the container after 5 cups, so it appears that one of these containers will last about 3 uses. Wear gloves and avoid hovering over the drain while it is working because this will burn your skin. br>br>I believe that if Draino solves your problem, you should use it because it is less expensive, but if you have a particularly stubborn slow or clogged drain, this product (or one similar to it) is worth a shot.
