How does Liquid-Plumr® Power Jet™ work?
Liquid-Plumr® Power Jet™ fits directly over drains and when pressed down, releases a powerful jet of liquid and air that blasts clogs away. To use, simply twist the cap, cover your drain's overflow vent, place can over the drain, and press down for 3 seconds to release contents.

What do you do if the drain is larger than the cap?
Follow the special situation instructions on the back label. Just cover the open areas with a cloth to create a good seal and prevent pressure from escaping.

Does it work in standing water?
Yes. In fact it works better in standing water and we recommend filling the sink/tub/shower with a few inches of water before use. It will perform without water too.

Why do you have to plug the overflow hole in the sink? Where is the overflow hole?
The overflow hole is typically found in bathroom sinks. It is near the top of the sink and could be towards the front or the back of the sink. Most kitchen sinks do not have an overflow hole. The overflow hole must be sealed for Power Jet™ to function effectively. If the overflow is not sealed, the pressure from Power Jet™ will come up through the overflow rather than go down the drain to blast the clog.

Does it work in toilets? Kitchen sinks? Where can it not be used?
It can be used in sinks (bath & kitchen), tubs, showers, and disposals (disposals will require more effort to make the seal). Don't use in toilets.

How does the jet of liquid get around the stopper to the clog? Will the force of the liquid push the stopper down?
The seal between Power Jet™ and the sink drain forces the product down the drain to blast the clog--there is nowhere else for the contents to go. The stopper must remain open. A loose stopper that easily moves down may need to have the stopper handle held to prevent the stopper from being forced down.
