Drain Septic 2# Can Cleans Drains- Septic Tanks - Grease Traps All Natural and 100% Guaranteed No Caustic Chemicals! Removes fats Oil and Grease, Completely Cleans Your System.

Pros: Easy to use (just mix with water, stir, and pour down drain), lasts for several months after initial intensive application (depending on the number of drains you treat), maker provides prompt, knowledgeable responses to inquiries, definitely works to eliminate odor and gnats from garbage disposals, seems to alleviate/eliminate sluggish flows and blocks in critical drains (can't tell for sure yet in all drains, but no issues after use in kitchen drain, and definitely eliminated sluggish shower drain). NOTE: DO NOT USE disinfectant products in the drain lines after treatment; it will kill the beneficial bacteria that "eats" all the crapola in your line. Cons: What cons? First bought this on the recommendation of a plumber who says it is in widespread use for septic systems. Although we are on city water and sewer, we bought it after experiencing complete blockage of our kitchen drain twice over the past two years. This required the plumber to snake out 30-ft of drain. Unfortunately, most homes constructed as is ours after 2000 typically have smaller drain lines from sinks, limiting flow and allowing accumulation of matter. Compounding this is drain line inclinations that are too shallow and the use of water-saving devices that just don't push the volume of water through the lines needed to avoid matter buildup. We don't dump grease or solid food matter into the garbage disposal and it still clogged! The new construction drain lines are too small, insufficiently sloped, and water-saving devices don't produce enough flow to keep the lines clear. Using this now on a routing (monthly maintenance) after our initial intensive application (five consecutive daily applications, leave sit at least 8 hrs without running or flushing toilets). Encouraging results. The plumber also recommended that once a day or so, fill one sink bowl completely with mildly soapy, warm water. Then release it all at once, simulating the kind of flow in that frequently clogging sink drain that it needs to keep clear.

REVISION (raising to 5 stars). When I reviewed this product, I did not know that a company that installed fiber optic cable in my neighborhood bored into my sewer main line, which, over time caused mud to backflow into my pipes and eventually caused all drains in my home to backup completely. I had coincidentally just used Bio-Clean in several drains, so thought that the Bio-Clean was the cause, but it was not. Thankfully, the city put pressure on that company to fix the problem right away, which they did. After the main line was repaired, I continued to use this product without any issues. The fact that not all of the product dissolves turned out not to be a problem. The product definitely works well (see the last 2 paragraphs of my review) and is far LESS expensive than drain gel. Note that enzymatic cleaners work at the boundary of where water meets organic material. No enzymatic cleaner will quickly eat through an entire stick of butter -- they work on the surface area that is exposed. Original Review: A good portion of the product does not completely dissolve, no matter how thoroughly you mix or stir it, and it will make drains backup that had no clog. I followed the directions and treated a bathroom sink and shower drain over 2 days, flushing with gallons of hot water in the mornings. On day 3, water going down the bathroom sink caused water to backup into a kitchen sink. NONE of these drains were previously clogged or even slow. On day 3, when someone was showering (after the drain had been thoroughly flushed with gallons of hot water), water backed up into a garbage disposal. I turned the disposal on to create turbulence, and this caused water to backup into the shower, which is 25 feet away. Some of the product came back up the drain onto the shower floor; it looks like cornmeal bisque. I believe all of the product that did not dissolve will eventually clear, but treating these drains at the same time on the same days for 5 days in a row would likely create a much bigger problem. Just don't go crazy treating many drains over consecutive days, and the day after each treatment, make sure you flush with lots of water. All of that said -- I ran a pipe brush on a stiff handle down a bathroom sink (the stiff handle prevents it from going through the P-trap). I slowly remove the brush, and massive, thick, ink-black gunk splattered all over the sink. I had previously treated the pipe with drain gel but never brushed it. After this, I decided to treat the pipe with this product. The next day, after flushing it with lots of hot water (which I did after the gel treatments too), I ran the brush down the pipe, expecting that at least some of the gunk would still be there and come back up when I removed the brush. There was ZERO gunk. The brush came out of the pipe just as clean as it was when it went into the pipe. This was after just one treatment (however, again, I had previously treated it with a high quality enzymatic drain gel multiple times). So, the product does work. There should be some warning on the label about the fact that much of it does NOT dissolve and the possibility that it will create temporary backups / clogs.

I use this but am not sure if it is any more effective than plunging and using boiling water to remove a clog. It may be most effective as regular maintenance, before a clog develops.

Frequency and Longevity I use this once or twice a year, usually for two days in a row. I’ve used it for about ten years and probably should use it more often. Pros This noticeably improves water flow, especially when used for a couple of consecutive days. That’s when I see the biggest difference. Clog Removal – The clearing isn’t instant, but it’s gradual and definitely noticeable. It works well on organic buildup. Ease of Use – Very simple. Warm water, a few scoops with the included scooper, and you’re set. I let it sit overnight or during the day when no one is using the drains, which the directions also recommend. Drain Speed – My drain speed improved from roughly 70% to about 90% after treatment. Smell – Much better than harsh chemical products. It smells a bit like old‑school protein powder, so nothing unpleasant. Cons None Would I buy again? Yes. I’ve purchased this product for the past ten years and will continue to do so.

This product is fantastic. It saved me hundreds of dollars in plumber fees. My kitchen sink would hardly drain. I used this the first night (5 in a row recommended for first time use). In the morning the sink was worse! I just turned the water and the disposal on and let it go and it cleared everything out. The sink is working perfectly no and no backed up water at all. It was rather expensive so I was a little skeptical but it was also nontoxic and ok to use in the kitchen. It only contains enzymes and works great!

I have used this product for twenty years. I found that monthly use of drain cleaner in the three toilets have kept the plumber out of my house. It’s easy to use, clears all drains and removes all debris. This maintenance treatment works. I wish this company would bring back the liquid version for my garage disposal. I highly recommend. The one container is cost effective. A lot cheaper than a plumber. I’m on auto delivery because on occasion Amazon runs out.

This product is great. It was recommended to me by my plumber. Keeps grease away from the kitchen sink trap. Also works good in the bathroom sinks, which is always another area of clogs in most homes.

I've used this product regularly for ~5 years since moving into a home with a septic tank. It's hard to say if it works because I don't really have a control septic tank without this product to test it against. However, our tank was ready to be pumped out after 3 years of use with two full-time residents. My hesitation in recommending or repurchasing this product is that the preparation and instructions are overly fussy and detailed compared with other similar products. The powder has to be mixed into water, shaken to dissolve, and then flushed at a time when little water will run through the plumbing for about 8 hours. Sometimes it's tough to find the right time to be able to use it. Plus, the powder smells....yucky, and when you shake up the mixture, it generates a little bit of pressure and when you open the lid, be ready for a little release. Contrast all that with the pods my septic tank cleaner sold me. The instructions were simply "drop the pod into a toilet, flush, and repeat monthly." That's it. I think I'm going with those in the future.
