Does this work for clearing slow-flushing toilets? (The shower drains fine.) It seems it wouldn't be able to reach the pipes before being flushed.

I'm not a plumber, however I understand that slow-flushing toilets are generally related to mineral deposits, which this will not resolve. Also, when it arrived there was a sticky on the container indicating that it is not designed for home use.

I agree with Minos. My drain is flush with the tub and is just a big giant hole that allows everything to go down it (like this http://pix.soundwag.com/web/drain.jpg). This sits right on top. There is a slight curve to this, and it sits curve side up. If you have the type of drain that also acts as the stopper and sticks up into the tub (like this http://s2.hubimg.com/u/5464035_f248.jpg), this will not work on that.

That is a problem. While I am not a plumber, I would think that there is an adjustment to increase the amount of water in the bowl. Conversely, one could use an in bowl cleaner to help keep the bowl clean. I would place that directly where the water flows.

Possibly. The enzymes may be able to breakdown the blockage and clear the pipe or something may have gone into the tiolet that is not degradeable. If you have a child this could be possible. This product does work to clear drains, pipes and freshens them naturally which means no bathroom odor.

It shouldn't. Either there is something in there that shouldn't have been flushed or the wet/dry switch is in the middle ( between wet and dry position).

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.

Is the drain hose hanging I've the sink high enough? (Once you get it working, consider buying a lint trap to zip tie around the end of the drain hose. You'll be surprised at how much lint collects. Not the best for general plumbing.) Good luck!!

Depending on how you have it setup it can certain improve flushing options. I had one of those old style 1.6 toilets. The ones with a big tube in the tank that had horrible flushing power. Now with this setup I use less water for a small flush and more for a large flush, and the additional water greatly seems to improve the flushing power.

No, I would suggest at least a five gallon vac. When the water level reaches a certain level in the vac it will sometimes squirt out the exhaust before it stops. If the toilet will flush, pour a 5 gallon pail of water into the toilet to forch water out without it refilling and that will lessen the amount of water in the bowl. If that works should be able to get by with a 1.5 gallon vac.

No, it should fully drain away. Perhaps there is something wrong with the connection, or the pipe is blocked?

Possibly, not to sound flippant but there might be other reasons the toilet doesn't flush all the time. Is there a minimal amount of water in the tank (not enough water force)? Is there an obstruction along the line that causes toilet paper to wrap around it? I have been well pleased with this device and since using it, I have not had any further clogs.

is it possible the door is hung too high? The sweep should hit flush to the step out of the shower and therefore provide a reasonable water seal. mopping up any water would not be acceptable even one time.

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'd first check under the sink to see if the cord is getting hung up on something under you sink, if that doesn't work - call your plumber back. This is my second one, not yet installed but the 1st one (previous house) was a standard that would allow rinsing and reach of the entire sink (30")

Yes I've been flushing this litter. My toilet doesn't have very good flushing power so I usually wait a minute or two before flushing to let the clumps break apart and to let the moisture absorbing ingredients become fully saturated; I assume this will allow the litter to drain down the sewer pipe easier.

It appears to not be functional for the bypass mount option. The water is immediately directed down into the hose, then to the head. If only mounting the head to the wall, it would cause the head to point to the drain, or actually spray directly on the shower hot and cold handles.

I used mine on the toilet and it did the job. It was a little difficult to snake the cleaner down the toilet. I had to do it by jiggling and twisting the cleaner as I fed it down the drain.
