Black Swan's Power Crystals are a powdered blend of sodium hydroxide, sodium nitrate and an aluminum alloy designed for cleaning clogged drain pipes due to grease, hair, lint, paper, food scraps, and all organic material. Will not harm plumbing fixtures, porcelain or septic systems. Black Swan's Power Crystals are extremely fast acting.
THE PROBLEM
Drain lines over time accumulate matter on the sides of the piping system. This matter could be grease, soap scum, hair, food, or other organic material. Eventually the opening on the piping system will get smaller and smaller and the flow of water draining will slow down or even stop. It is at this point that one possible solution is to use a drain pipe opener to clean the clogged drain lines.
HOW POWER CRYSTALS WORK
When Black Swan's Power Crystals poured into a drain there is usually standing water. The chemicals in the drain opener react with the water to create a tremendous amount of heat. This heat will help soften the matter on the side of the pipe and hopefully cause this matter to flow away - thus opening up the piping system. The chemicals in the Power Crystals also react with organic matter (cellulose in toilet paper, sanitary pads, etc.) and dissolve them.
DIRECTIONS
Read entire label before using.
Remove standing water, if any.
For sinks, lavatory, shower and tubs - pour one quarter container slowly into the drain opening. Follow immediately by pouring one cup of COLD water down the drain. If water boils out of the drain, add another cup of COLD water.
For Floor Drains - pour 1/2 container into drain. Follow immediately with 1/2 gallon of COLD water.
After 15 minutes, pour COLD water down the drain. If drain is still clogged, repeat application. If drain is still clogged, do not repeat. Consult a plumber.
