Subject: PT36 shower drain Author: Robin Williamson [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07/ 12/ 05, 9:40am We have had a PT36 for many years. The shower drain is getting a bit slow. Would like to know a safe way of cleaning it before it stops up alltogether. Has anybody any experience with this?

[> Subject: Re: PT36 shower drain Author: Harvey Lawrence [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07/ 18/ 05, 7:19am the drain probably suffers from years of whatever and hair and the like. I would drain my grey tank, open the valve & put a bucket under it, then try a good brand of household drain cleaner. Let it set a bit and flush. If that does not work try a snake down the pipe through to the tank. Also check your roof plumbing vent pipe to make sure you do not have any barn swallows or the like.

The trailing plug assembly will probably be wrapped in hair. Also, put a little hook in a 12 inch piece of coat hangar, push it into the drain and twirl it around. You will catch a bunch more hair. Then push the drain plug assembly back into the hole--should be OK then. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
