Partially blocked Drain

[BillyS]

Hi everyone,
I have a partially blocked drain in the Bathroom sink of my Pilote P650 Mh, and was wondering what your thoughts are on using the product, as shown in the pic attached. Should I use this product, or should I use Bicarb of Soda and White Vinegar? Your thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

If the blockage is due to waste material,eg fats,rice,pasta,then use the product if you are happy with what it says on the bottle. Otherwise use your alternative remedy.

Are you sure the problem isn’t caused by your van not being level,or the pipe work being snagged/kinked.

I would try an old fashion plunger first.

Ours can be slow to drain, but empties a lot faster if you have the grey water tap open to empty the tank. I would try that first, next would be put a couple of tablespoons of bicarb down the plug hole and slowly add warm vinegar. It will fizz a lot. Use a plunger then flush through with boiling water. That is a good as any of the proprietary drain cleaners and won't cause any damage.

Thanks everyone for your advice.

Try washing soda and boiling water, that worked for me, the blockage is likely to be held together by congealed soap the washing soda and very hot water should "degrease" the pipework.

I WOULDN'T use chemicals. I’ve seen them dissolve plastic drainage parts. Ideally a wet vac is best, but if not, shove a hose on to the plug hole and blast stuff through.
You must be careful as the van plastics are so delicate, so for me, no chemicals, I wouldn’t want the force of a standard plunger on a basin, some of the fittings could be push fit, so too much force can cause parts to separate.
