Could this device MAKE THE CLOG WORST?

No, I can't see it worsening a clog. For larger 4 to 6 inch drains it very likely won't make it any better. This is because it is virtually impossible to get it in position for a direct shot at the clog. The 'jet' stream it supposedly produces has no more velocity than a garden hose nozzle. It may be ok though for smaller pipe sizes.

This product would not make a clog worse. However the pressure induced on the pipe might cause it to burst. However if that's what happened you would've needed remove the pipe and replace it anyway.

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.

If the device is clogged underneath the attachment, then it wouldn't work efficiently. You can only wash the attachments, but I would give them all a deep clean and see if that helps. You could also have bent or slightly broken attachments, which wouldn't allow you to use attachments very well. I have to jimmy-rig one of my attachments or it won't work well at all.

When I found a large amount of fresh mouse droppings directly below the device within a week after I installed it, I decided it wasn't the least bit effective. I would never replace it. I'm sure that's not the answer you were looking for but it may be useful.

Not 100% sure bit I saw it advertised with a demo on tv and it works so strong pushing the clog it might mess up the disposal is my guess.

It wouldn't hurt....with my filter the product it cleans it so well the filter absorbs a lot of dirt/debris, I've waited longer -up to even a week, and then it really needs replaced. I think a lot depends on the type of filter system. I use a Whisper Filter system.

I have used mine several times this year already and have not had a clog once. I purchased this one to replace a older model that I had used for several years. Love the vacuum function!

The first part of my response is like Hugo's. The 2nd part of my response is that it didn't work for my clogged line. It had very poor results from the stream of water to the size of the stream. It was a very poor product that sits in my truck box unused and never will be.

For a cheap temporary fix yes, Problem with using this unit is length of run, and gunk or the occasional debris that would clog impeller. What you save on initial purchase may cost you more if you have to replace it with a pump designed to the job in the first place.

Im not an expert, but probably no, you would probably need an industrial strength clog buster from a plumbing supply store. Assuming there isn't some kind of permanent blockage in the pipe.

Actually I'ts not bad. Yes I do rinse it and plunge in the clean water after the clog is gone. This is less work than a toilet snake and works better than a standard plunger.

Not necessarily. Go to http://www.flushmate.com/troubleshoot/q03_trouble_shooting.html and watch the video; it shows you how to diagnose toilet problems.

It could be clogged. Maybe try taking a pin/needle and poking inside the end of the wand before using it (machine off).

The plunger works well clearing clogs that are near the toilet. It snaked thru the S curves of the toilet pretty well. I would recommend this product for really stuck things like I had a kids toy stuck in there for months and it just made the flush slow with frequent clogs that I would need a plunger to clear. I use a plunger for all normal clogs but this worked well for my special obstruction.

No! We have had 3 clogged toilets on our septic system since we tried this TP out. Will go back to our other brand.

In my experience, the cartridge will also become clogged, which might inhibit water flow from the cleaning cavity to the tank. I also try to stretch the time between cartridge changes, but I do change them.

Yes, when it looks clogged I just pull up on the diverter piece & clear out the clog then it works perfectly again! Nice & easy!
