Operating Instructions

This section details how to use the electric plunger for various drain types.

General Usage Steps:

  1. Select the Correct Adapter: Choose the appropriate rubber adapter for the drain you intend to clear (e.g., toilet, washbasin, kitchen sink, floor gutter). Attach it firmly to the plunger's nozzle.
  2. Position the Plunger: Place the adapter over the drain opening, ensuring a tight seal. For toilets, ensure the adapter is fully submerged and creates a vacuum.
  3. Pressurize the Unit: Press the power button to activate the compressor. Observe the real-time pressure gauge. Allow the unit to build pressure to the recommended level for your specific drain type (see table below). Release the button once the desired pressure is reached.
  4. Unclog the Drain: While maintaining a tight seal, press the trigger button to release the high-pressure air. A single, powerful burst is usually sufficient.
  5. Verify and Repeat (if necessary): Check if the clog has cleared. If not, repressurize the unit and repeat the process. Do not exceed 5-6 consecutive uses without allowing the unit to cool down.

Recommended Pressure Levels:

Drain TypeRecommended Pressure (bar/psi)
Washbasin1-2 bar (14.5-29 psi)
Sinks (Kitchen/Bathroom)1-2 bar (14.5-29 psi)
Floor Gutter3-4 bar (43.5-58 psi)
Toilet5-6 bar (72.5-87 psi)
