Questions and Answers for Instant Power 67.6 oz. Slow Drain Build-Up Remover

A:  No, this product is designed to work in the drain field to loosen the soil around the drain tile/pipes. Which will improve outflow into the drain field. I used the 6 bottles according to the directions over 2 years ago. It worked as promised and saved me from having to replace my drain field! Plus, it's "GUARANTEED" to work!

A:  I don't know that it has a "set time" to grow the bacteria to break down the solids and junk but I do know it saved us almost $20,000. We paved over our entire backyard including the septic tank and then it started leaking, not good at all. The neighbors connected to the city for a price but we would have had to pay the city tons of money then the paving people to rix it all. I bought cases of this product and after several months.... boom... problem gone and everything is fine. I'm sure prior tenants (we had just bought the house) had put down handi wipes or who knows what. First of all everyone said we covered over the drain field with the paving stones and we weren't too smart. Bottom line; I bought a few cases online and used one gallon every 2 weeks or so... and next thing you know problem solved. I still have several gallons but now that everything is biologically in synch...... I don't do anything anymore, it's a great product.

A:  No use 2 gallons. It works immediately.

A:  Yes, the longer you let your system rest the better the results. Pour it down the toilet and go out of town for the weekend.

A:  No, we just pour it in and continue water use as usual, although I wouldn't do a whole bunch of laundry at first. The point is to get it distributed to the field lines.

A:  No.Slow Toilets are caused by an internal obstruction ,poor water volume ,.poor venting,or an obstuction down steam .clogged or slow septic system. works great on traps and lines. set water level in tank and give a good plunging or augering. See u tube.New toilets flush great.

A:  I did not try for the toilet application. Product container says it can be used on a slow toilet. May want to call the Help Line at 1-800-613-4242 (9-5 CST, M-F) to confirm.

A:  Thanks for contacting Instant Power! Yes, you can pour this down the toilet. Depending on where the clog is, you may want to pour into another drain close to your toilet. Treat daily until you you see a noticeable difference. This is a bacterial product, so it takes time to work. If you need additional help please call 1-800-613-4242.

A:  my tank is 1000 gal im told if the drain field is messed up and stsnding water I used a whole bottle a month for 3 mos it dried up and now I use a full bottle every 3 mos and this has done me well for last 9 years it eats the crust that causes the water to stand instead of drain into the soil

A:  You add two liters directly into a toilet. It is not recommended to use more.

A:  Thanks for contacting Instant Power. If you have a leach field failure you can add 1 bottle a day for 6 days. If you do not see improvement please repeat process. If you have more questions please reach out to our help line 800-613-4242.

A:  Add 1 gallon directly to the leach line and a gallon to the tank. Extra cant hurt. It’s cheaper by the case. Go out of town for the weekend so it can work. Give it a break. It’s worth the wait.

A:  put 1 ottle in a 1000 gal tank and let it be it will sofen up the crusted soil in your drainfield all I can tell you is my own exp.I had large puddles of standing water at the end of my drainfield i put i bottle in my tank each month for apx 3 mos then started using i bottle every 60 days there after that was 9 years ago and I was told drainfield would never get better and would need to spend 1500.00 to replace it This stuff did the job so for my own sake I use it every 2 mos like clock work and still havent replaced the drainfield and feel no reason to now

A:  No, the disposal and drain cleaner cannot be used in a dishwasher.

A:  No. Do not remove filter.

A:  Add it to the tank, not the fields. Your filter is at the outlet of the tank. This product goes in the inlet side of the tank. Follow directions and flush it down the toilet.

A:  Just pour it in.

A:  Leave filter in place unless it clog filter should be remove every 6 months spray off with water hose

A:  hi, did you check the filter to see if its clogged, if so replace or clean it and pour it in. no need to remove the filter if its not clogged.

A:  Leave the filters in. This product will help clean the filters. But remember try to use before you go to bed. You want it to sit in your lines to brake down any problems that you might not know about.

A:  It is not necessary to remove the filter. If you could pour it directly in your septic tank or the lines leading out to your field That would be good enough. Otherwise just flush it down the toilet but it is not necessary to remove your filter . Only remove your filter once a year to clean it with a garden hose and then put it back in place .

A:  How hard is it to remove the filter and put the filter back in? If it were me, and easy to remove the filter, I would remove, pour it in, then put the filter back in.

A:  Just pour it in and let it work.

A:  I wouldn't think a filter would be a problem. It is water soluble and should have no problem. It may even help the filter.

A:  Yes although I wasn’t impressed as bathroom sinks seem to have hair so I prefer Drano. I have used it in bathtub traps. Actually what it does a good job on is garbage disposals! Great for cleaning them and deodorizing. I just pour some in at night, run the disposal for a few seconds, put the stopper on the opening as it has to sit without running water. Wake up in the morning and my disposal is clean and smells like lemons.

A:  Yes, you can use Instant Power Disposal and Drain Cleaner in your bathroom sink. It will not get rid of a clogged drain, but it can get rid of slow drains and drain odors! Goodluck!!

A:  I don't know. Check the product for guidelines.

A:  Yes, this product is safe for septic tanks.

A:  Per the label it is safe. Please remember this is a maintenance item, and will not resolve a total clog.

A:  YES and is good for them

A:  Sure but if useing there because of smell would be best to leave there for a day or two with useing sink or shower

A:  yes you can pour it into any drain or sink but it is not used to clear a blockage.

A:  it can be poured in any drain going to septic but I choose the bathroom closest to my tank

A:  I don't know why you would want to do that, it's made to be flushed down the toilet and onward to your septic tank where it would start to work. I suppose you could dump it down the sink or shower drain but it will have no effect on either.

A:  I don't see why not, but it is not actually a drain line cleaner. Read the directions on the bottle.

A:  Easy answer; yes, as long as it makes it to your septic tank.

A:  Yes

A:  Yes, you can use Septic Shock in shower and sink drains, but it will not help clear a clogged drain.

A:  We pour ours down the commode.

A:  YES,the scotch co. also makes a very good drain cleaner .It keeps my kitchen sink running (25 feet to main line ,with cheater vent . ) )

A:  Do you mean your're adding it to a distribution box? Should go into septic tank. What are you "dosing" your tank with? I suggest you follow the directions on the product.

A:  let sit or reduce imput

A:  Are your lateral lines blocked with sludge? Let the line drain as much as possible. Add shock and allow to soak a day. Add to septic tank and allow to work normally. This will work if sludge is the problem. Most important is don't be in a hurry and use as much shock as you can afford. Its cheaper by the case ordered online at HD. If your system is not flowing due to hardpan or case hardening try a product called septic -flow shock. Follow the directions. Septic - flow shock worked for me when others didnt. Buy at least 6 gallons. Good luck

A:  I would let it sit for as long as possible to give it time to work.

A:  Let it set.
