[Shop-talk] slow disposal drain

[Jack Brooks]

I'd give Hot water a go if you think the problem is in the connector pipe
and it might be a fatty build up.  Pour in a large container of hot water,
while the hot water is running.  I wouldn't run the disposal at this time,
you want to give the hot water plenty of time to clear out the buildup.  The
idea is to overwhem the pipe with water and scour it clean.  Conversely, you
might just move the fat further down the pipe, which might not be a good
thing.  

I've also run ice cubes down mine when it slowed.  The cubes clean the heck
out of the inside of the disposal.  Citrus rinds clean really well too.

Subject: [Shop-talk] slow disposal drain

I have a garbage disposal that drains slow unless you run it. While I am 
pretty sure I know what is causing it (build up in the pipe), I am 
hoping that I don't have to pull the drain pipe to clean it out....

So, that being said, does anyone know if there is something I can run 
down the drain that will clear out that build up? Regular drain cleaners 
have not worked....

Thanks!
