    Q:How long we let the product in the sink before you put the water

    Answer This Question

    A:  Hi, Yolanda! Thank you for your question. For best results, pour 16 ounces of Zep Advanced Kitchen Sink Drain Opener Gel into drain. Wait for clog to clear, approx. 15 minutes, then flush drain with " hot" water. For stubborn drain clogs, a repeat treatment and longer wait time is recommended. I hope this helps!

            A:  I dumped 1/2 the bottle (16 ounces) into the sink and ran a little hot water behind it to get it through the trap. I knew my clog was past the trap. Waited 30 minutes and dumped about 3 gallons of boiling HOT water. Waited another 15 minutes and ran the hot water for about 5 minutes. It must have broke it up some as the drain worked a little better. Then about 10 minutes later, I repeated the process by dumping the rest of the bottle (16 ounces) into the sink drain and followed it up with boiling HOT water about 30 minutes later. That loosened up the plug so that it pushed it down to the main sewer line. My plug was pretty bad for about a year. This cleared it up nicely.

            A:  For a clogged drain, pour 2 cups (16 ounces) into drain. Wipe away any splash, drip or spill from drain stopper, sink trim, faucet, etc.. Wait 2 hours, turn on water and check drainage. If drain is still clogged, call a plumber.

              This product was used to unclog my kitchen sink. It worked! It is very important to read and follow the instructions! I followed the instructions TO THE LETTER and was successful in removing the clog. LET IT SIT IN THE DRAIN FOR ONE HOUR, DON'T USE THE DRAIN, THEN RUN HOT WATER DOWN THE DRAIN! Hot water is the key, let it run for about 5 minutes! It is safe for PVC pipes! You must use 16 ounces for the application. This container has enough for 2 applications.

              My kitchen sink had been draining slowly and had been getting worse and worse. I would run the disposal and the nasty water would back up into the drain side. I tried plunging, but that didn't help at all. My sink was stinking and gross. I used the Zep Advanced Sink Drain Opener because it was safe for the garbage disposal and the septic tank. I followed the directions and left it overnight. I am happy to say that it worked very well. My sink is draining easily on both sides and no longer smells like the sewer. Any kind of product like this needs to be handled carefully, so make sure you read all the directions.

              This ZEP drain opening gel is certainly the best and most advanced I've ever used! Had some grease (from a previous tenant) in my kitchen sink drain, which other "drainers" never cleared. I poured the recommended 16 oz down there, left it for about an hour, then ran some hot water thru, and poof!! no more clog!! Amazing!! It does have a bit of a chlorine odor to it, so don't inhale when pouring, and wear gloves. Be Safe! It's also has a pretty thick consistency, however DO NOT dilute... Oh, it also works on garbage disposals...AWESOME! !

              This item is in the process of being sent back to the sender. It came with 12 PAGES, of warnings about how caustic it was and that it may harm your drain and the metal around the drain. I did not and will not use it! There should have been a warning about this product on the selection page as to its chemical makeup so a person would know before requesting it as a trial.

              Kitchen Sink Still Clogged
              The product was easy to use but didn't work for my double kitchen sink (one side w/ disposal, one side sink). My sink had been slow draining for past month then wouldn't drain for past 3 days even using garbage disposal side. I poured 16 oz as instructed on the sink side slowly followed by 32 oz of hot water and let it set for 3 hours. There wasn't any standing water in the sink when I poured the product so hard to follow instructions. I poured 2 large bowls (approx 64 oz ea time) of boiling water down the sink following with turning on hot water but the sink backed up again. After the water drained out, I repeated the process and let it set overnight 10 hours. This morning I poured 3 large bowls of water plus one on the disposal side which went down the drain but then when I turned on the hot water, the sink backed up again. (side note: I don't have a stove in my apt, so had to boil water in the microwave for 6 minutes to get to boiling point). I had faith this product would work but disappointed it didn't. The last time my sink clogged up was 2 1/2 years ago (and about a year before that but that was due to back up from the city lines). I pour any grease from my electric skillet into containers to dispose of, wiping it out with paper towels. The last time a plumber came out, he told the manager that they needed to replace the pipes to accommodate the flow of water from 2 apartments which hasn't been done. I know I'll have to pay a plumber to come out since the manager said he won't pay for it so that was why I was really hoping this would work. My late husband was always the one who fixed everything :( The pic on the right is the disposal side and the reason the water is reddish is because I had spaghetti sauce on a spatula that fell into that side of the sink as I was wiping utensils down before taking into bathroom sink to wash. The bubbles on the left side came up with the water when it backed up again.

                ZEP Advanced Kitchen Drain Opener is another product from ZEP. This is one of many drain openers from ZEP which are formulated for a specific use. This kitchen sink drain opener works fast to unclog a drain that maybe caused by oil, grease or food. My clog was further along from the sink trap. To get maximum use from the drain opener I poured about eight oz. of water in the sink to clear the trap and push the drain opener to where it was needed. I did this twice. I waited for about hour and a half to flush the drain pipe with hot water. To make sure the water was hot to flush the drain pipe I had a large pot of water almost to a boil on the stove that I would pour down the drain first. I also ran the water from another sink to insure the water would be hot at the kitchen faucet. Success, my kitchen sink now drains fast.
