Question 2

is it ok to pour this down my shower drain with a little standing water ?tle water in it

Accepted Answer

I’ve done it. I’m on a septic system so my gray water all joins up in the main line anyway. I’ve not had any I’ll effects from using this product. Actually I use this at least once a quarter every year. My system works great and my home is 23 y.o. in March 2022.

Question 3

We have two bathrooms: Should we flush this down both toilets?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. I would put it in the upper most one. It does its job in the septic tank, not the toilets. Roebic has a treatment called "Main Line" which is a four day treatment for cleaning the lines. If it were me, (and it is because I do), I'd split it between the toilets.

Question 4

I don't have a septic tank, can I still use it to unclog my toilet?

Accepted Answer

This product is not meant to unclog a toilet and will not do that no matter how much is used. A plunger meant for toilets (black head that looks like stacked donuts with a flip out cone on it) is your best bet. It will run you about $10 or $15 at home despot or on here. If that doesn't work a toilet auger would be your next best bet. They can be purchases for (I'm guessing because I haven't price on in 30 years) about $80 maybe less. Do not use a snake no matter how it is advertised. If it is less than 1/2 thick it will twist up on itself in the bend of the toilet and you may not be able to remove it without completely removing the toilet. There are videos on YouTube to show you how to use a TOILET AUGER. If your toilet is still clogged after using the auger the problem is further than 6 feet from the toilet and your BEST option is to call a professional like roto rooter or your local equivalent. Probably around $250 if they have to snake the main line.

Pouring chemicals into your toilet and main drain line will very rarely help and will most often only make the plumber called to fix it charge you more because he has to remove those chemicals so that he doesn't get burned or blinded by them. Nearly all of the product you pour into your toilet for clogs are just soap and either bleach or acid. Both of which are terrible for your pipes (no matter what the bottle says) and even worse for the plumber.

This product is meant for the maintenance of a septic tank, completely different from the main drain/sewer line and toilet.

Good luck with your current problem.
