Ro Pump does it again!

[geno gardner]

I was on a job today to replace three toilets in a house. The price was quoted and the homeowner was gone. I noticed that the two vanity sinks in the master bath were plugged. So, in an effort to give the customer a little more value than they expected, I hit both sinks with the RoPump. In five minutes I walked out with both sinks clear. It won't cost them a penny, and it only cost me minutes.

Thanks again Ron!

Re: Ro Pump does it again!

So did you use it to suck out the blockage? Or did you fill the tube and force the water down the drain?

I find when the popup is all gummed up if I pump the water back and forth it breaks up all that gunk and scours it clean.

I will admit the Ro-Pump has saved me lots of time on simple blockages. I mostly use it on tubs, lav sinks and water closets.

This place had them for $49.90 but are out of stock. ThanX but $100.00 plus shipping is a bit much

I pulled the popups right out and the drain was whistle clean to start. I just did a series of rapid back and forth plunges. Suction then pressure in fraction of second strokes. A bunch of crud came out of the overflow openings. (Which limited pressure available on the pressure stroke). So I plugged that opening so I could apply more pressure. That did the trick.

With all the creams and lotions on the wife's side I'm guessing that's why the drain was plugged.

At this point I would be willing to pay $100 for a RoPump if I had to.

Re: Ro Pump does it again!

Great!! Stellar reviews from respected opinions means I have yet another tool to buy... Actually, it was my pals on this forum that convinced me not to buy the kinetic air ram. I see ads for that all the time. If a $50 can clear a line without all the drama of running cable or jetting, it's well worth it. Perfect for those soft clogs and misc that wind up where they shouldn't--- like shampoo caps..
