5.0 out of 5 stars This stuff is GREAT, October 14, 2010

I have been in apartment maintenance and renovation for years, I use this stuff on every single drain in every unit I work on. I swear to you that this stuff is amazing. This stuff will make the insides of even the most slimy gunked up pipes clean after a few treatments.

If you want happy tenants and fewer maintenance calls(which cost you plenty) then this inexpensive product should be a part of your regular maintenance routine.

For those of you who complained that this stuff doesn't cut through hair...it's true that hair is made out of amino acids but this does not make it a 'protein'. Hair is protected by keratin and the molecular linkages exclude water. So an enzymatic product can't penetrate the exterior hair coating, and if you're talking about hair coated with lots of commercial products it's that much harder. Lye based drain openers explode the outer keratin layer. I find this product very useful for maintenance and I typically chuck it down all the toilets and drains before going on vacation for 2 - 3 days or longer.

4.0 out of 5 stars works well, but requires followup with plunger, April 30, 2011

This product works for me but with some caveats. I used it to clear slow draining sinks but, after the three treatments, the drain would become even SLOWER to drain than before. What happened was that as the enzymes attacked the heavy buildup in the trap, the buildup would partially delaminate from the pipe walls and become larger in size as it got saturated with liquid. The water saturated and larger buildup would clog up the pipe even more. Normal draining at this stage would not rinse the partially delaminated gunk from the trap. I had to resort to using a plunger to clear the delaminated gunk. What the plunger pulled up looked like a lot of soft, water saturated seaweed. After using the plunger, the sink trap became very free flowing.

Using the plunger alone without the enzymes would not have done nearly as good a job. The enzymes helped to delaminate the buildup from the pipe wall. So, at least for me, the enzyme product and the plunger had to be used together to get the job done.
