Are there different liquids in each of the chambers?
Yes, each chamber contains a powerful liquid. One chamber contains a thickened formula that dissolves hair and gunk. The other contains a foaming agent that carries the formula throughout the entire pipe. The two liquids combine to create a thick, dense foam that not only clears your slow drain, but cleans your pipe walls, too.
