I used this in my kitchen sink and bathtub drain for 3 nights. My kitchen drain was running just okay, so I used a plunger just like 3 times, and then suddenly the kitchen drain ran beautifully.
However, then the bathtub drain completely closed and I was shocked at how much gunk came up - more than I ever saw. What apparently happened was that the enzymes ate the walls of the pipes (drain) and cleared off all of the gunk in the pipes but it overwhelmed the drain pipe, and now no water was going down. I put in a half of a bottle of the Liquid Plumber Gel, and it took almost one hour before the Gel (acid) burned through and the water then completely went down, and ever since the drain is the best it has been in a long time. Water flows down very well. The enzyme cleaner hasn't just made a hole in the gunk, but actually cleaned it out, which is what an enzyme cleaner does. Fantastic!!!
Now, I just have to do the maintenance scoops every month or two months and the drains will be fine. It's really easy to use also. Just put the scoop in hot water in a 16 oz jar, and put in the drain at night - 3 nights in a row. I think it's always best to run some hot water in the drain - about 1 minute, prior to putting the enzyme down for the best results.
I looked at other enzyme cleaners, and some are in liquid form. It's definitely more expensive (paying for convenience and water). This is actually very convenient with the scoop inside. It's cheaper, very effective, and takes up less space. All I know is that this works fantastic. You just have to be patient for the 3 nights, and you might need something like Liquid Plumber Gel the first time you do this, (and a plunger) if you never did this before, and there is lots of hair, gunk, grease etc. in your pipes, and it takes all of this off your pipes for the first time.
Just get a snake with a heavy duty bit and clear your drain. As for preventative care, I dunno, are you gonna let your pipes sit for days while this cleans them out? You’re gonna use your water and flush this stuff out before it can do what it’s supposed to do. And even then it will still probably let you down. I’m surprised so many people said this worked for them. They just have had silly little clogs that a bucket of water could clear.
