My sink drains slow.Can I use a drain cleaner with a liberty 404 pump?

SOURCE: sink drain slow

You can purchase a device from Home Depot that will clean out the drain. In the plumbing business, we call it a blow bag. But some call it drain dog and so on. It's a black rubber bag that fills with water and then when it reaches a certain pressure it blocks the drain but runs water through it until the clog is dislodged. You attach it to a water hose and push it into the drain as far as you can get it. Run it for 15 to 20 min. and then pull it back out. There are several sizes to accomadate the pipe size. You sill need the one that does pipes up to 2 inches. You will have to remove your drain assymbly under the sink to do this. While you have the drain assymbly off, you can make sure it is clean as well. This will clean out the garbage that collects in the pipe. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: My bathtub drains incredibly slow. After a 5 min

First of all plumbers(at-least none that Ive EVER known ) would attempt to use any type of liquid drain cleaner/unclogger but having said that I did have the same problem and here is how I fixed it most tubs have what they call an over flow drain it is the round metal/chrome/brass thing that is on the bath tub under the faucet it usually has two flat head screws one on each side I took that off and the straightened out a metal coat hanger(as best as i could ) and tried to leave a little hook at the end then i put that end(hook-end) down the hole where the overflow cover was at (be aggressive/push/jiggle/twist/cram/...ect..wharever you call it) and you just might be surprised (I was) I pulled out ALOT of yucky Stuff..hair/goop..and whatever else that was(GROSS) anyway drain works fine now.replace the cover make sure that the side that has the cut out/hole is on the bottom when you put the cover back on (That's where the water goes in if the tub is overflowing(*before it actually overflows the water tries to run under/over that and down the drain)Now my drain drains faster than it did when I moved in here.Hope this helps you

Properly piped, your arrangment should look similar to this picture so that there is a separate trap for the disposal and the other sink basin.

SOURCE: toilet works fine,but drains for sink and shower

Over time, there is a build up of hair folicles and soap scum in bathroom sinks, tubs and showers. Their slow drain is most often caused within the first 3 feet of drain from the fixture. Much as you can't use water to thin oil based paints or paint thinner to thin latex paints, few know and understand that hair and soap scum need a different solvent than what a kitchen sink might need. I recommend a product called "HairAway". It won't harm your pipes, and is biodegradeable and oh how it works! It is formulated to only disolve hair and soap scum and will not affect fish gravel, roots, dirt, vegetable matter, animal fats, or anything manmade. None of that stuff is in bathroom drains anyway, right?
