The One-Second Plumber

Sign in to disble this ad
Seriously, have you guys tried these things?
http://www.onesecondplumber.com/

I just tried it on my shower, and it's really effective, and pretty eco-friendly as well.

One question though: should I remove my sink stopper before using it? My sink stopper is really hard to remove (not the turn and pull type, but the "disconnect the entire linkage" type)

Also, feel free to share your plumbing horror stories...

I say try it without taking it out. Worse that happens is the can explodes and you loose a few fingers to a hand.

Yikes!

It also says to cover the overflow hole. My dad didn't do this when he used it and it sprayed all over the bathroom!

You can try it without, you'll just have to make sure you have a good seal around it and that you don't let it close when the "secret gases" hit it - unless you like indoor rainfall.

Back to back sinks are awesome, too, but that's more of a commercial thing. I've heard stories of guys using an air ram and then finding out a room next door got hammered with a blast of water and sludge.

I prefer the air ram because you can just fill it with air and vary your psi to use the minimum instead of hammering the system. Hard to beat a sink/drain cleaning machine if you can only have one tool, but these drain blasters can save some time and work when they get the job done. I'd much rather see homeowners use this than chemicals.

I never put much stock into "as seen on TV" products.

Where I come from, your average home is 50+ years old, with original plumbing. Those might cause entire homes to explode around here.
