Ingredients

The primary active component of Drain Gel is a bacterial formulation.

Setup and Preparation

Before application, ensure the drain is adequately prepared for optimal product performance.

1. Moisten Drain: If the drain is not regularly used, moisten it by pouring 1-2 gallons of warm water into the drain. This helps prepare the environment for the gel.
2. Optimal Application Time: For all applications, apply the product at the time of lowest drain use. Ideally, this should be at the end of the day, after the use of all cleaning and sanitation products has been completed. This allows the gel to work undisturbed for several hours.
3. Shake Well: Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the product is properly mixed.

Operating Instructions

Follow these instructions for initial treatment and ongoing maintenance.

Initial Treatment (Start-Up):

• Add four ounces of Drain Gel to each drain in the affected area.
• Apply the product around the edge of the drain, attempting to coat the sides of the drain. This ensures the gel clings to the pipes for extended action.
• Repeat this dosage daily as necessary, typically for 5-7 consecutive days, or until the issue subsides.

Maintenance Application:

• For ongoing maintenance and prevention, apply four ounces of Drain Gel per drain every one to two weeks.
• Consistent application is key to maintaining clear drains and preventing organic build-up.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance with Drain Gel helps prevent future organic build-up and ensures optimal drain function. Continue with the maintenance application schedule as described in the Operating Instructions section. This proactive approach helps to keep drains clear, reduce odors, and improve flow.

Troubleshooting

• Ineffective Treatment for Drain Flies: If you are experiencing persistent drain fly issues, note that ordinary drain cleaners, hot water, detergents, bleach, or ammonia are generally ineffective. Drain Gel is specifically formulated with biological agents to remove the organic matter where drain flies breed. Ensure consistent daily application for 5-7 days during the initial treatment phase.
• Product Not Working Immediately: Drain Gel is a biological product that works by degrading organic matter. It may take several days (typically 5-7 days of consistent application) to see significant results, especially for established problems. Patience and adherence to the recommended application schedule are crucial.
• Product Does Not Clear Hair Clogs: Drain Gel is designed to break down organic material and grease. It is not formulated to dissolve or cut through hair clogs. For hair-related blockages, a mechanical method or a specific hair-dissolving product may be required.
• Persistent Odors: If rank odors persist after initial treatment, ensure you are applying the product around the edges of the drain to coat the sides of the pipes. Consistent maintenance applications can help eliminate recurring odors.
