I've tasted it. Nasty feeling on your tongue afterwards.

A friend and i soated a piece of 1 1/2" galvy drain pipe that had buildup in it bad for about a week in a tub of bioclean and it did nothing. The pipe was just as bad with no change in the gunk.

at the show a few years ago we took there samples. all like 20 of them. got home did the test in jars. it took 3-4 weeks for break down to acure. some where a little faster then others but if you are putting it down your sink it's really not doing much unless your willing to wait to use it.

Biological cleaners are not made to unstop drains. They are used to keep a drain clear of organic buildup once the line is flowing. Even if the line is flowing slightly, it would take almost a year for it to open back up to like new condition with weekly treatments. It's sorta like changing the oil in your car. You do it at regular intervals to keep things running smoothly, not after if breaks. At that point all you can do is call the mechanic(plumber).

I sell a similar product called ******XX. It cost me about $2400 recently. Lady had a ks drain that would take all day to drain. WM drain would back up too. Old galvy, drum trap, c.i. Line discharged to it's own field line. Gave options of: a. running a cable and punching a hole in it, b. hydro jet from roof vent, c. replacing everything that we didn't have to dig up and hydro jetting the rest of the line as far as the jetter would go. She picks option "c" but it's late in the afternoon and she can't reschedule until 2 weeks later. I schedule the return visit and sell her some ******XX. I explain that she uses it everyday for 5 days or until the drain improves (just like the label instructions). I explain that I can't promise that it will work that fast but that it may provide some improvement until her scheduled appointment.

She calls back about a week later and says "you know it's really flowing much better. Can we skip the repipe and just do the jetting when you come back?". I say "yes ma'am we sure can. We'll do whatever you wish". So I show up on the appointed day and she says "you know it really is draining beautifully, can I just continue to use the ******XX and let's do the jetter later if it starts to slow down again?". Me, "as you wish" !

So I sold her a $4000.00 tankless water heater instead .

SEE ?? The stuff does work fellas !! I have had this same scenario several times .
I'm not saying that after a month ,, the line is clean as the day it was put in . But it does open it up , allow it to move and makes the homeowner HAPPY !
