I was told by a friend not to wash this down the drain because it would clog up the pipes. Anyone know if this is true?

I've been washing it off in my bathroom sink for months and it's been just fine

We Haven't had nay problems flushing them. There was only one time when I flushed it down with about 3 non-flushable baby wipes that it clogged it and it unclogged pretty easy. If you are worried about it, I would just flush one at a time. It should be fine.

No it doesn't. Just drain pipes and in some instances clogged pipes in your house.

Yes it worked great in my plastic pipes & also metal pipes. I don't get any kick backs from the company but this is the best stuff I have found for unplugging drains. I have used it for over ten years. I used to get it from a plumber as I couldn't buy it myself, but now it is available online. I pour it in the drain run hot water until it dissolves, which is only a matter of seconds & then shut the door & leave. When I return in 15-20 minutes there is no noticeable smell. Sometimes it may take a second treatment but it has never failed me.

if you use this on the end of a washer output going into a drain pipe contained in a wall, you would have the Lint Catcher in the pipe. Once the Lint Catcher gets full it would shoot down the pipe and end up lodged in the pipe. I have the drain shooting into a sink and have had the lint catcher shoot off once its full.

We have not had problems with our drains clogging from cleaning the brush. Usually, we pull the excess fur off the brush by hand and then wash out the brush.

It could be clogged...did you check all pathways? I've honestly never had that problem. It's similar to a vacuum, so I'd imagine it gets gunked up.

I did get it through my sink drain which was the old copper piping from 1954. I do have to tell you though it was not draining at all and it was found that the pipe was completely full and I ended up replacing it with PVC as a snake would not go through it at all just like cement. Then I bought the house on foreclosure and who knows it might have been cement. Good Luck, it was teh best of the 3 I tried that is for sure.

They are not recommended for stand pipe drains. If one would go down the drain, it would be a major clog. As lint blocks the water flow the pressure builds, then water comes out or the trap goes down. So if you choose to use in this manor, Please secure well and check/change often.

No, well not if you have the pop up stopper. I slid the snake right down on different sides of the drain and pulled out a significant amount of sludge. It worked the same in the sink too.

First, I have not had a clog since I bought my RV. Also, I have a clear elbow connection on my sewer connection and can see that the TP has dissolved. Please keep in mind that using the right chemicals (I use Pure Power) and lots of water also make a difference. Amazon's price on this is the best I have found.

Yes it can clog, important to follow instructions as they cover what to do to prevent clogging.

I have been doing plumbing for awhile and "truthfully" it's really NOT the sink when it come to draining power. Think about it, if you just put any sink on the floor and pour down water or any liquid, it will go through the sink hole immediately. However, what could/would affect the draining is your plumbing pipes. Some pipe drains fast and some drains slow. I have no complaints whatsover with this sink in terms of drainage, but my plumbing system is only 6 years old. Hope this helps.

it's never happened to me but you might want to fill it with CLR or vinegar then invert it so the liquid doesn't come out the drain holes. Let it sit like that for 1/2hour. That usually works for other hard water deposits.

We use this litter. We don't flush it, and wouldn't recommend as it is clumping and would probably jam up your pipes.

I agree with MotherKat. It heps keep your drain clean and removes built up residue. I use it at once every 6 weeks unless the dishwasher gets heavy use like over the Xmas Holidays. Good, reliable product. M

My home has always had a sand mound system and PVC pipes. Our water has acid in it and we do not treat our well water. The stuff has worked for us. We have had no problem but we do not put a lot of grease or bathroom/kitchen chemicals down the drain either.
