Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I use the drain bladder?
Simply attach the bladder to a standard garden hose, insert it at least 6 inches into the clogged drain, and slowly turn on the cold water. The bladder will expand to seal the pipe and dislodge the blockage with water pressure.
What size pipes will this fit?
This medium drain bladder is designed to fit pipes with an inner diameter ranging from 1.5 inches to 3 inches (38mm to 75mm).
What is the recommended water pressure?
The optimal working pressure is between 40 and 80 PSI, which is typical for most household water systems. Do not exceed the recommended pressure range.
Can I use hot water with the drain bladder?
