Means for cleaning sewer pipes mole. Mole for sewage cleaning - options and rules for use

What is the main problem of sewage sinks, siphons and pipes? In their periodic clogging. Household sewage is full of various suspensions and solid particles. All this settles on the inner surface of the pipes and sometimes forms real plugs.

With some "gags" can not cope with the plunger, nor plumbing cable   . Sometimes such manipulations simply do not have time. Almost the ideal solution is then chemical cleaners. "Mole" among them is very popular, it is known to the older generation.

This cleaner is cheaper than analogues, it "works" quickly and with good effect. But if before the sewage pipes were mostly cast iron, now plastic prevails. Is it allowed to use the Mole tool for plastic pipes?

The cleaner is sold in three basic forms - liquid, gel or powder. In essence, it is an inorganic alkali plus active additives. All this together is a means that dissolves or at least softens all sorts of food and household particles that settle inside the siphons, in the places of various joints and in the pipes themselves.
  What substances and particles are "afraid" of this tool:

• fats (whether animal or vegetable);
• protein compounds;
• human hair, animal hair.

How to use "Mole"?

The use of the means for cleaning pipes and sinks is not distinguished by any subtleties. It is necessary to fill the liquid, gel or fill the powder in the drain hole of the bath, sink or toilet bowl. When using powder, it is necessary to add a glass of water to the sink. Then it takes some time not to use the plumbing to let the cleaner work. The last stage is washing the sewer with a considerable amount of water.

There are two subtleties of using a cleaner, not specified in the instructions:

1. It is advisable to warm up the sewage system with hot water before the water can. The cleaning of plastic pipes will be better.
2. The second trick - after the end of the "Mole" is a little work vatuzom. This allows you to finally remove internal layers.

Alkali is harmful to the skin and mucous membranes, but the use of "Mole" according to the instructions excludes contact. Still, work with the tool must be cautious.

When can not I use a remedy?

The last question remains: Can the Mole be poured into plastic pipes? Instruction to the means of this does not prohibit, which is not surprising. The mole   in the form of a liquid and / or gel is packed into plastic packages. And nothing happens with vials.

And modern plastic pipes have strict requirements in terms of strength and resistance to various aggressive influences. So that means for cleaning really high-quality plums, siphons and pipes are not afraid.

We draw a conclusion: it is not necessary to believe the stories about the sewerage dissolved in the "Mole", about leaks and subsequent repairs. Good sewage work consists of properly selected materials, high-quality execution and timely cleaning!

Technical progress does not stand still, so novelties of household chemicals appear regularly on store shelves. However, this is no reason to abandon the use of years of proven and well-proven funds. Among such drugs is the drug Krot -means for cleaning sewage pipes. This liquid has been used for many years, it was created in the middle of the last century. But even today, many consumers, if necessary, clean pipes choose this particular cleaning agent for sewer pipes, as they are accustomed to trusting its quality and efficiency.

Sewage can be cleaned using chemicals. These are substances that, after getting into the tube, effectively dissolve fatty deposits and other contaminants.

The choice of such funds today is great, however, many consumers choose the means they are accustomed to trust. Among these products is the cleanser for sewage pipes Krot - reviews that consumers leave about the effectiveness of this drug, allow to hope that the blockage will be eliminated easily and quickly.

• Distilled water (for the drug in liquid form) - up to 25%.

• Non-ionized surfactants - up to 10%.
• As the filler, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is used. The share of this substance is from 5 to 10%.

How does the remedy work?

The most "complicated" places of the pipeline, in which clogs are most often formed, are:

• Siphons;
• Bends;
• The knees;
• Places for joining elements on which rubber seals are installed.

In other words, these are places where dirt is easier to "catch" over the surface of the pipes. The fatty film can be formed over the entire surface of the tube, and already on this film will stick the particles of debris.

All this leads to a narrowing of the lumen of the pipe and the formation of stoppers, which prevent the passage of drains. Those substances that are part of the Mole means contribute to the dissolution and softening of deposits. Then these softened deposits will be washed away by running water.

Advice! It should be remembered that using a cleaner to clean the pipes, you can face the appearance of an unpleasant odor. It is due to the release of hydrogen sulphide during the decomposition of calcified deposits by substances that make up the product. To mitigate this defect, fragrance is included in the formulation.

The popularity and success of the Mole

The secret of the popularity of "Mole" lies in the following qualities of this drug:

• Cheapness of the drug. This tool is really very cheap, so in its effectiveness time to make sure all those who want, which only increased the popularity of "Mole".
• Ease of use. Like many other cleaning products, "Mole" is used very simply: the drug is simply poured into the drain hole and waiting for the result. And this method of use for the first time demonstrated this particular drug. In the end, after the Mole appeared - the cleaning of the pipes began to take place precisely in this scenario. That is, the glory of the "pioneer" forces users to compare any tool with "Mole", which, of course, prolongs the popularity of this drug.
• Transience of action. Mole - means for cleaning pipes with a minimum period of active action. That is, the user can cope with the congestion in just a few hours. Usually at the dissolution of any congestion there is 60-90 minutes. And this effectiveness is confirmed by years of successful use of the drug, which supports the justified popularity of the drug.

In short, the popularity of "Mole" is fully justified.

Several generations of homeowners pass on their axioms to their descendants: use the Mole to eliminate blockages and your sewer system will become clean and workable literally in an hour from the moment of application of the drug.

The current "Mole" is produced in the form of a classic milk-white liquid, and in the form of a gel, and in the form of granules.

However, whatever the appearance of the drug, you will always find the following components in its composition:

• Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is a four-component, reactive substance used to soften water and affect calcined deposits within the pipe. And for a person this drug is relatively safe: after all, this acid is used even in medicine, to remove radionuclides from the blood. The drug "Mole" contains at least 10 percent of this substance.
• Caustic soda is also sodium hydroxide (NaOH). This component disaggregates the clog and works as a catalyst for dissolving organic matter and calcined compounds. And caustic soda - this is another name for caustic soda - is officially registered food additive - E524. That is, caustic soda is relatively harmless to humans. In "Mole" contains up to 60 percent sodium hydroxide.
• Potassium hydroxide - caustic potash - another alkaline compound that corrodes organic waste. It is this substance that turns Mole into a rather dangerous remedy: even 10% of KOH (potassium hydroxide) in the preparation is enough for serious damage to the mucous tissues of the human body.

In addition to the above reactive reagents, Krot also includes water (25 percent in solutions and 5 percent in gels), and surface-active components that weaken the surface tension in the structure of the clog.

Application

The technology of cleaning the sewer by this means is quite simple.

• Make sure that the purchased product is designed to eliminate exactly your problem, all information about the possibility of using for various problems should be on the label. Study the technology of application (the required amount of substance, holding time).
• Wear personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles).
• Fill or pour the required amount in the sink or directly into the sewage system. Rinse with plenty of water through the specified time interval.

That's the whole technology, which uses the Mole to clean the pipes. In case of an unsatisfactory result, the treatment can be repeated again, the use of a substance with a higher concentration of the substance is permitted.

Just do not forget that some of the Mole formulations should not be used in plastic sewage systems.

If repeated attempts did not bring any results, we will have to resort to mechanical methods of cleaning, especially since it will be much easier to perform, because the mole did have its destructive effect on the blockage.

A cleanser for sewage pipes A mole is a chemical that helps to remove blockages in pipes. It is produced in Russia and is the most popular in the market, it is used exclusively for certain blockages, so it is always necessary to select the appropriate formula. The main component of Mole is an alkali that reacts with water to form foam and with it starts to dissolve fat and soap, which are the main cause of blockage. The composition also contains distilled water, which prevents alkali from entering the reaction before the chemical solution enters the pipe.

This tool is used to clean pipes in the bathroom, toilet and kitchen. The Mole works best in the kitchen, it most quickly copes with clogs formed from fat and leftover food. In the bathroom, Mole clears the pipes a little slower. The additional purpose of the cleaning solution is to clean the side walls of the sewage system, which prevents the appearance of future blockages. The product removes the film on which household waste accumulates.

There are several varieties of this tool:

• liquid preparation;
• granular preparation.

The Liquid Mole is used to clean pipes in which water has accumulated (for example, in a kitchen sink). You pour the product directly into the tube. It contains two types of alkali and antiseptic bacteria.

In the granular preparation, there is only one type of alkali and an additional component that dissolves the alkali in the water, which is necessary for the alkali to come into action. Granules are more popular due to the fact that the Mole in granules is sold in a more convenient packaging.
