Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Wear safety glasses and gloves before starting.
2. Connect Hose: Securely attach a standard garden hose to the threaded end of the drain bladder.
3. Insert Bladder: Carefully feed the bladder into the clogged drain, inserting it as far as possible past the drain opening.
4. Turn on Water: Turn on the water supply slowly. The bladder will expand to seal the pipe and then release pulsating bursts of water to clear the clog.
5. Monitor and Adjust: If the clog does not clear immediately, turn the water off and on to create a pulsing action.
6. Confirm Drainage: Once the drain is clear, turn off the water and slowly remove the bladder.
7. Flush Drain: Run hot water down the drain for a few minutes to flush out any remaining debris.

Troubleshooting & FAQ
