Do it Yourself: Using the Drain King
I’ve written briefly about the Drain King in the past. Basically, it’s a great alternative to potentially harmful (both to your pipes and the environment) Liquid Plumr which can handle far more difficult clogs than your typical plunger can. If you’ve got a clogged drain and you want to avoid calling the plumber, you may want to try this.
I have used Drain King for years. I recently needed to use it twice within a month; once for my mom’s shower drain and once for my own. I was considering doing a video on it, but I found this one available already on YouTube (note: the video is not in English but it does a great job of showing how to use the Drain King, except I don’t believe the Drain King is recommended for toilets, which they also show. Please read the instructions carefully and remember, I’m not a plumber, I’m just a social worker, blogger, and happy Drain King user):
The way I figure it, every time I use Drain King I probably keep $100 or more in my pocket. If that’s not frugal, I don’t know what is!
