I’ve got a clogged sink, and have been reading the labels on a bunch of different products lately. I’d always assumed that they were a strong acid of sorts, which would dissolve whatever sort of material was built up in the pipes. But I’ve noticed that a lot of these products specify that they’re non-corrosive, so I’m not sure what other sort of mechanism may be at play here.

      *in that one country that inexplicably banned the installation of bottle traps

      This will not work in modern plumbing

            What a strange thing to have a superiority complex over. “It is legal to install plumbing which can’t be mechanically cleaned.”

              If you think a random piss-take shitpost is a “superiority complex” you most likely have an inferiority complex and shite plumbing mate 😂
