A slow drain is usually hair or soap in the trap. Mechanical cleaning often fixes it — kinder to pipes and the environment.
Prep
- Bucket under the siphon
- Gloves and cloths
- Adjustable wrench if needed
Method
- Place a bucket — water will come out.
- Loosen the coupling nuts carefully.
- Empty and rinse the bend; remove hair and sludge.
- Refit hand-tight and flush with warm water.
Caution: avoid random corrosive mixes — they can damage PVC.
Siphons and tools: Sanitary and PVC.
