The blocked water tank can be dredged with chemical pipe dredging agent. So what precautions should be taken during the dredging process? The following is introduced by AFA Stainless Steel Handmade Sink Manufacturers :

There are two types of chemical pipe dredging agents: strong bases and strong acids, and drainage pipes are also available in galvanized cast iron and PVC. Most houses built in the 1990s and before were galvanized cast iron pipes, while modern houses used PVC pipes. It should be noted that strong acid pipeline dredging agent is very corrosive to galvanized cast iron pipes, which may cause adverse consequences. Do not pour strong acid pipeline dredging agent into cast iron pipes. If you must use it, please refer to professional guidance Use or follow the manufacturer's instructions. PVC pipes have good corrosion resistance, but this problem does not exist. Pipe dredging agent can well solve the problem of kitchen sink blocking, which is almost a cure. These products are usually available in hardware stores or hypermarkets.

Please pay attention to the following points when using chemical pipe dredging agent:

If you don't know how to distinguish the type of pipe, you can hit the pipe with a wrench or iron rod. Galvanized iron pipe will sound, but PVC pipe will not.

Inform the merchant or salesperson of your purpose, and they will recommend the corresponding product for you according to the actual situation. Different pipe dredging agents may be required in different situations. The kitchen sink is usually blocked with strong alkali dredging agents.

Do not mix and use different types of pipe dredging agents. The simultaneous use of strong base and strong acid dredging agents can cause a severe chemical reaction, which is very dangerous.

Read the manufacturer's instructions carefully to determine the recommended dosage and waiting time. Put on safety equipment such as goggles and rubber gloves, then slowly pour in the doses listed by the manufacturer. After that, wait for the required time indicated by the manufacturer. When time is up, rinse the drain pipe with hot water.

Do not wait longer than the manufacturer's recommendations.

Do not allow pipe dredging agent to come into contact with surfaces such as faucets and sewer trims, as they may corrode the appearance.

After using the pipe dredging agent, do not use a rafter or other tools to work, to prevent burns from splashing on the skin.

If the plumbing agent does not work, call a professional plumber.

After using any chemical pipe dredge, wash your hands thoroughly. For safety, wash your hands thoroughly with cold water. Pour a large amount of baking soda on the surface of the sink, bathtub, and surrounding area, and then wipe it off thoroughly with a damp cloth. Finally wipe clean with a paper towel.

Be sure to keep chemical plumbing agents out of the reach of children.
