would this clog a drain (eg, if I let my kids play with it in an empty bathtub or shower (to avoid mess all over house), would it mess up the drain?)

Because of the previous reviews, I didn't allow the kids to play with it outside or in my house. They played with it in the garage on a cardboard and a plastic snow saucer. I would not recommend pouring it down the drain because after a few days of trying to dry it, it felt like a broken up wet diaper. I imagine that it will probably clog a drain. The wetter it is, the harder and larger it is supposed to get. Good luck!

Nope. The drain is located below the green seat, so you'd have to take the seat out to drain it. I lift my LO out and rinse her in the shower; then I just flip tub over to drain it. It's a vey comfy tub, however. LO loves it If you're looking for an easy to drain one, I definitely recommend the 4moms, also sold by Amazon. I have one at my mother's house, the drain is located at LO's feet. It really depends on your bathing situation. If you bathe LO in shower or tub, the easiest way to drain is flipping the tub over after you've finished bathing and dressing LO. This really is a comfy tub, and my LO's favorite. Nope.

It helped our drains a lot. Even if they are not clogged, follow the instructions carefully and it might help to plunge the drains even though they are clear. You may find that after you put the enzyme into the drain that the drain clogs because of the smelly gunk that is in there. I just used it in a bathroom and the room smells good now! Good luck...

I have never had a problem with the drain hose clogging, nor any of my friends with this product, I use this table mainly for cleaning fish, of course if you let any fish guts lay in the sink, it will slow drain up but there again try cleaning fish in your home sink and see what happens. If the drain is clogged maybe its bent or kinked as its a flexible hose.

Yes, I think it would clog up and no, you can't open it and clean it. Funny you ask because mine just died. Little Giant is the best you can buy, just not this one for your pond.

i think most people who buy this also change the shower head at the same time, so you won't find many accurate accounts. However, the hole size is smaller than the hole on the pipe coming from my wall, so physically i don't think its possible for it to "not" be causing lower water flow. Our pipes made some weird noises too like maybe it was straining them somehow

i used it once in my bathroom sink and it did a little but that maybe because my drain is so small i wish it did come with a smaller attachment for small drains,,so i just use a small plunger for my bathroom sink. i haven't tried it yet for the kitchen ,,but i only use it for the toilet ,,,it works great there ,,,

I agree with the two responses below. Drain Care will not open a clog drain. But it will dissolve grease & other organic material. It will over a very long time dissolve hair. But if the hair has nothing to catch on it should hopefully move thru your pipes. Our drian pipes were very slow draining when we brought the house we live in now, but after using Drain Care, they have been working great. I do treat my drains about twice a year. And Drain Care has a shelf life of about 2 to 4 years. If you get this product just make sure that you follow the directions, & you won't be sorry on how well it works.

I think there are better solutions for the bathtub. 50 feet would be pretty hard to use in a bathroom. I'd go for something shorter and maybe thinner. I have one that is flat and 1/4 inch in width that I'd prefer for a bathtub drain. I'd probably try something like this: Superior Tool 03819 Manual DrainStick-Sink, Bath, and Shower Drain Clog Remover and Cleaner-Drain Stick Easy Drain Clearing and Cleaning

This product is specifically for Roots that are growing into your pipes. This is more typical with the OLD STYLE Piping (1930's-1960's). It won't unclog a drain if its due to hair,grease,etc.The Copper somewhat kills the roots back causing them to shrink & retract. If you notice the problem is more prominent in Sept.-Oct(First rain) through April then you have a Root issue.

If your overflow drain is close enough to the spout where water comes up to fill the bath up, remove it while you're filling it up the tub. You might have a little more trouble getting it on the overflow drain if there's already water there, but it's possible!

There is a little rubber edge that gives it some grip to the floor. because our drain is the lowest point in the shower, unless you make an effort to kick it, it doesn't seem to be much of an issue for us. Hair does seem to flow under the edge though.

We use the drain every time. I find it is a good way to signal to my little that bath time is done. It's also easier and less messy than just dumping out the tub.

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.

If you are saying that the drain in the bottom of your tub is stuck open then no, it won't help you. This product is not the solid dome that it might appear to be, it actually has a hole cut in the side so when the water reaches that level it will still allow it to drain out; all it does is allow you to raise the level above the existing drain level. Sorry, good luck with your problem.

No drain problem at all! We own two of them! One for each of my boy's rooms and because of the dual air flow there is no need for the drain! (We use it exclusively for an air conditioner only, but it has other features)

I have a standard popup drain in my bath and this particular product did not work. The only way it would stay on was if the drain was closed, which defeats the purpose. Hope that helps!
