I heard a rumor that over time, the plastic bags can clog the drains as they dissolve. Is this true?

I have not had any problems with this. I dont however run my washer every day. May run it every 3 days on average. Though I have used this product in the same washer for a couple years now.

Nothing like that has happened for us nor from others I know but have only been using it for about 1 1/2 years. Very positive inways it cleans and ease of loading machine. Perhaps some sort of other source is best for you to seek information from about this.

I can't answer for sure, but we've been using them for a year with no problems. The outside "plastic-like" cover seems to be made out of a dissolving substance that just disappears quickly rather than sitting around.

I have been using "packet" style dishwasher detergent since they were first on the market and I've not had a plumbing problem with my dishwasher, ever, knock on wood.

My family has been useing these forever and have never had a problem. As long as you maintain and take care of your dishwasher it will be fine.

Also, just remembered that a few times one of the little pointy ends on the rubber bottom skirt of the G3 would get sucked into the tiny openings in the new type safety drain covers. This was after I had cured the G3 from just not being able to pass over the drain due to pure suction. To cure the end getting sucked in the opening I reduced the drain flow a little more and opened the skimmer more.

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

I'm not sure. It's a very inexpensive drain cleaner though. It might be worth a shot, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt anything.

The plastic is a bit thicker than the bags in a dispenser. So...maybe yes, maybe no. I guess it would depend on the type of dispenser you use.

I don't recommend it you can clean it but from what I'm been told directly from the inventor is that chemicals in drain Has California warning on back of package that says "This product may contain chemicals known to the Sate of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Protective gloves should be worn when installing or replacing this product to prevent infection from drain waste. Wash hand after handling.

Yes, the top sections all come apart for very easy cleanup. Have had no clogging problems whatsoever. I haven't put the parts in dishwasher, I just rinse with soap and water and wipe dry.

The bag is porous but any significant amount will drain slowly. I used a shop vac to get the majority of the water out.

I think they may be talking about the black robber collar that goes in the drain in the sink, it helps keep stuff from being dropped in there accidentally, I like it that way, if it backs up I just push it down a little and all the water drains down with all the food. I have had it only a short time but it is really quite and all stainless.

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.

I've never had a problem with the drain. When I first got the porch potty, I applied a good amount of E6000 industrial glue to the drain opening and the drain tube. I haven't had a leak! I also make sure to spray down and clean with pinesol every couple days to keep the smell to a minimum.

No it is not in a powder form. I have not had a problem with it clogging my drains. I have washed it off in the sink and in the shower and no problems with either! Love this stuff!!

No. Not really. It works great. I have used a safety pin to clean it out every now and then but have never had it where it was completely clogged up.

If you are referring to the clogged debris getting trapped up inside the canister, it is often difficult to empty. I usually have to knock the opened canister against my garbage can numerous times hoping it will eventually come free.

The pressure builds up until you press down on the end that goes to the drain... Plus if it is clogged, the pressure builds up from the seal of the end where the rubber is. It didn't really work all that well for me..

I believe so. The enzymes dissolve the gunk in the drain to remove it. It is safer than Draino or Liquid plumber, but slower to work. You can use this every month for maintenance of your drain pipes without worrying it will eat through the pipes one day. It also removes odors which Draino and Liquid Plumber do not because of how enzymes work.

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.
