Frequently asked questions

Drain Opener is a compressed gas. When the formula in the can is released and comes in contact with water in your drain, it expands rapidly, creating a standing wave. It uses the water in your pipe as a battering ram pushing the blockage through and cleaning the walls of your pipes.

There are up to 15 applications in one 4.5 oz. can of Drain Opener. Do not hold down can for more than 1 second. If you push down longer then less will be available for use.

Drain Opener will work on any clog, including hair, grease, food particles and soap build-up.

50’ down a 1.5” diameter pipe, 40’ down a 2” diameter pipe, 35’ down a 3.5” diameter pipe, 25’ down a 4” diameter pipe, 18’ down a 5” diameter pipe

Even with the capability of cleaning a blockage up to 50 feet away, you can be assured that any sound plastic or metal pipe will not be subject to danger.

Yes! Drain Opener works great on this annoying problem. Simply follow the directions for a blocked drain (as stated on the box or can) ensuring that you fully submerge the green cap in water. Then give Drain Opener a slightly longer application. Your drain will run freely once again.
