    Sulphuric acid(Kleen Out) might be good at dissolving some organic matter, but here's some tips:
    A.) Sulphuric acid, especially at high concentrations heats up and can react violently with water. I'm not sure how strong Kleen Out is, but be careful.
    B.) Due to sulphuric acid being a "mineral acid" it's chemistry is such that it rapidly and strongly reacts with most metals. I would not use it if you have copper or cast iron pipes. You might get away with it a couple times, but eventually it'll weaken your pipes to failure.
    My point is, don't play with chemicals unless you absolutely know what you're doing. Strong acids also tend to violently react with other chemicals, so please don't mix anything. Sulphur compounds are some of the more toxic ones you can come across in a lab. Things like hydrogen sulfide are very dangerous.

    @MultiTomcat67 Рік тому +18

    While Kleen Out did break up the clog faster, Roger found out it's acidic (ow!). The Green Gobbler (close to 2nd?) is an organic digester, so should be safer for the pipes.
    There's my trade-off two products.

    Side note: Grease-X (from the root-x people) seems to work really well for buildup. I had our drains scoped before we put new floors in, and the 40 year old kitchen main drain line was spotless. A cast iron drain. And I cook tons of burgers and steaks and rinse the cast iron in that sink.

    Green Gobbler got out the plug in my tub after trying several other products. The Green Gobbler was the only one that worked and worked flawlessly. Crazy to see them all visualized like this. I feel like a basin on top of each testing station to fill with water, instead of the air ram would have been ideal considering most people only have the water pressure from their sink basin and not an air ram.

    This test was no good because it misunderstands the method of action of the other three products. They have an exothermic reaction when combined with water. they need water to work, it's why the directions say to flush with the hottest possible water for some time at the end.
    The best usage method is to put as much hot water into the clog as it will take, let it go down a little if it can, and then add the product, wait 15 minutes, and flush with water for at least a minute. It will create a burning reaction.

  • @rdizzy1
    @rdizzy1 Рік тому +42

    With most of these chemicals you are supposed to leave them for a few hours and then run the water through as hot as it will go for like 5 minutes afterwards, the chemical dissolves the clog, the hot water rinses it out. Also, each chemical is obviously safe for different types of pipes, and works best on different types of clogs, some work better on oils, some work better on shower drains because they dissolve hair better, etc. I've had totally fine results from generic bottles of drain cleaner from the dollar store.

    Liquid Lighting works. I think it is like Clean Out, both are acid based. You know it works because there is a rotten eggs smell almost instantly. That’s the acid reacting with the hair and scuzz, releasing sulphur dioxide gas. Acid also creates an exothermic reaction with water so it gets hot. Gotta be careful with it, because it is sulphuric acid. Also in a shower or tub, cover the drain to keep the smell contained.

    I mean, sure the Kleen-Out worked quicker, but should you really be using sulfuric acid on pipes? Should everyday people be using it at all? I mean, you got a little on you, and it didn't take long to start burning your skin. Compared to Drano and Liquid Plumber, I would say the Green Gobbler was leading. My only issue with this test is that GG is not intended for a quick use but rather a safer alternative to the more fast acting ones. It uses enzymes rather than chemicals, so it just takes longer. Which, when you consider that, doesn't say much about Drano or LP.

    I’m just surprised you did not use pvc glue on the connections.. that would have saved you 3 shirt changes and acid exposure

    Yeah, that air gun splashes the shitty water back into your face when you use it in a toilet but it works. I have an electric air gun drain cleaner. It works and saves money on calling a plumber though. Cover the toilet with Seran wrap before using it.

    It there something you can do, say every month or so, to clean out your pipes so that you don't get a build up. Preventive care you can say, so as not to get to the point where you need a plumber or one of these drain cleaners.

      I would get a drain strainer, or something similar, so it can catch any hair or larger pieces of debris that normally clog the drains

    The Liquid Plumber bottle says to pour hot water down the drain, after a specified time, to activate. I don’t believe that was done in this video.

      "Roto-Rooter' charges $160 to $500 to clear a toilet so don't call them. Last time I called them they charged me $475. It's sickening to pay that.

    Why would you ever use a 20 psi air pump here? Totally defeats the test. People at home will run hot water after the product. Why not just run some water at each one? Would have shown exactly someones situation at home. Regardless i took something from this video, Kleen out is pretty effective at breaking stuff down

    Without a control, all of this data is completely useless.
    What if the clog was not even a clog?
    What if just pouring water would push it out?
    What if the Pneumatic plunger was all you needed?
    A control would have shown the diff on the basis of nothing vs something, then something vs Other brands.
    Also @8:25 you say 10 PSI when earlier @7:00 you mark it at 20 PSI, so you changed pressure in the same experiment?! This invalidates ANY of the data entirely...

    • @RogerWakefield
      @RogerWakefield  7 місяців тому

      Well if the clog was not even a clog then you wouldn’t need a drain cleaner…there’s only so much we can do to simulate a clog…everyone’s situation is different
