I’ve got a clogged sink, and have been reading the labels on a bunch of different products lately. I’d always assumed that they were a strong acid of sorts, which would dissolve whatever sort of material was built up in the pipes. But I’ve noticed that a lot of these products specify that they’re non-corrosive, so I’m not sure what other sort of mechanism may be at play here.

      No tools needed to clean it, you just unscrew that bit at the bottom, and also apparently you get a superiority complex according to some bloke on the internet lmao

              You have free access to this piece as it’s just below. You put a bucket below, unscrew, empty it, screw and you’re down with the clogging.

              The goal of this plastic receptable is to avoid costly clogging down the line by intercepting it locally. And also recover object that fall like ring while watching your hands.

          Sorry just seen your reply.

          Did you miss the bit where I said “no tools needed”

          That was the important bit
