Will it work in standing water? (i.e. If a sink is clogged and it's still half full, or if I dump it directly into a toilet that won't flush)

It needs to be used on a drain that is unclogged to begin with. This product helps kill bacteria in a drain but not unclog like a draino type product.

Yes it will. Let it sit in the water for a while and if it's really backed up use a plunger with it. The enzymes have to be able to get to the source of the problem. We have a tub where debris backs into it when it rains. We put the enzymes in, let it sit for a bit and the debris goes down the drain. The first time after we put the enzymes in we had to plunge because it was so stopped up. The second time we just put the enzymes in and let it sit in the watery debris and after 25 minutes all went down the drain by itself. Have never seen a product like this that actually works and is safe. We put it down every drain regularly (toilet as well) to keep things open. Yes it will.

In my experience there is minimal splashing and it all stays in the bowl. I have not had any splash out or under the toilet seat. It might splash off your ass and go under the toilet seat if you turn it on full blast but with normal to high water pressure turning this thing on more than half way hurts. In short I wouldn't worry about water splashing out and making a mess.

I have used it in the sink and it worked well. Get a lot of water in the sink and if it is a double sing have someone hold a washcloth on on of the sinks and just start pumping. Ours was not draining at all and it knocked it loose.

I see no reason why it wouldn't work on its side. Just test it out in a bucket of water to make sure.

I would think so, it just goes into your septic. Whatever you would normally flush would be good to go.

Rest it on its side up against the side wall under your sink it should work. Or adhere it to wall there.

This toilet doesn't have a reservoir tank on the back like most toilets use to flush it when the water supply is unavailable, so I'm pretty sure it won't flush until the water supply is back on.

Yes just don't use your drinking water hose. If that does not work for your clogg try using a pressure washer from inside the camper just put it inside the toilet. Good luck

Yes it works for toilet waste. Very unlikely to clog due to the macerator. Easy to clean out if needed. Great pump

I've done it you have to use a garden hose and be patient it takes a while and i would let water run for a while so it can push waste to sewer main the rest is natural every time you flush toilets or shower in house it'll keep it clear .

For this to work the right way it has to be inserted at least to the point where the drain king is no longer visible. To forget that it has to inflate before it can work. If it has to pipe wall to inflate on it won't work.

The water tank has not water in it but has a pressure mechanism in it that it creates a powerful flush like at some public restrooms. Also the toilet will not block up due to the power of the flush. Thank you for contacting me and you will enjoy your new toilet. Michael

I'm sorry, I haven't had it long, and I was disappointed that I still had to use the pumice to clean my toilet bowl. Somebody said to try using two units in each bowl and maybe I should have tried that, I live in central PA where the water is pretty hard.

If you have no overflow pipe it can just lay there, I guess. The pipe is to divert water from running over the toilet tank and drain it to the bowl. The tube normally puts a small quantity of water into the bowl, through the pipe as the tank fills. I was unable to use this in an Eljer Lowboy one-piece toilet. It allowed the water level to go too high.

you are correct--it should only empty into a sink-my guess for that is that the filter could potentially come off and get stuck in the pipe! ?? I use a metal clamp that has to be screwed on to tighten down . It works very well.

Don't think it will work in a sink. Seems too big. Ideal for a shower. Using it in the city so not sure about the odor issue.

Since it uses very little water, it needs to be used in combination with a septic tank placed right under like in a RV. I think there is not enough water to carry solids down the drain when you flush. like in a cabin.
