Acid. Strong acid.

There's something extremely satisfying about pouring 90% sulphuric acid down a slow draining pipe. Hearing it hiss as it goes down, then anihilating everything in its path. And you can hear it bubbling away, continuing to wipe out nature some way down the drainage system under the flat. Outside smells like eggs.

I think i need some of that right now myself! Drains are slowing here and the caustic soda last week didn't really seem to impact it all too much...

It's called One Shot and you can get it in the plumbing merchant

Ah-ha, NEVER heard of the stuff, just used some caustic soda last time. Will give this a shot (*ahem*) soon as, cheers!

It'll be just my luck that it eats something vital and springs a leak, so I'll stick with my compressed air option (though given my luck that'll just pop one of the joints instead)

Just a friendly reminder (from experience with this stuff myself), a hefty pair of rubber (chemical) gloves, full goggles (not just safety glasses) and a substantial upper outer garment are a MUST when playing with this stuff!!

I have had the acid start to react with crap in the line before the clog has cleared. The reaction tends to make quite a volume of foam, which has to expand somewhere - generally all over you!! And since this stuff is a multitude of times stronger than battery acid, it WILL start burning your skin off immediately on contact!

And Johnny, you want a REALLY satisfying reaction/result? Try mixing 50/50 sulfuric and hydrochloric!!

Where did you get it from?
Pedit - I need to read all replies. Can I put it some people's tea as well.

The pipes from the bath/sink in the bathroom are far to shallow and clog up. Stuff from supermarkets doesn't really unblock them properly.

Must look out for this stuff at our local place. The pipes here are stupidly thin too, and even more annoyingly the plug in our bathroom sink can't be removed.

Hydrogen Chloride gas?

I wouldn't recommend mixing them unless you tell people the results of inhaling the gas!
