Is this a good product to use to clean the pipes of a whirlpool tub that has been dormant for a couple of years, or is something stronger needed?

I've done a ton of research. This seems to be a good maintenance cleaner. Oh Yuk seems to be the only one really geared towards the harmful biofilm deposited on dormant pipes. (No, I am do not work for Oh Yuk. Just my own research. Hoping this helps someone out there :-) )

I used it for periodic maintenance of a whirlpool tub. I'm thinking you would need to do multiple applications with this stuff to clear the pipes.

I think it will work just fine. Don't need a patch first. It will flow level cover the problem fully don't be stingy. It only is good for a year and will harden in the tube. Great stuff.

I would say yes. I purchased this ResCare product for my water softener system as a less expensive option of having to purchase resin cleaner from my water softener company. It has performed well for over a year.

It doesn't do a perfect job on the rough bottom of the tub but it does as good as anything I have found. In other words I have never found anything that will clean that perfectly. I really like this product. Use it every time I clean the tub and shower enclosure.

Not sure, I used it to reseal our kids bathtub soap holder that fell off. It worked great. I would do an internet search on what is best for dry wall.

I use this as a stainless steel cleaner for my appliances. Wipe on with a paper towel and then polish with a fresh paper towel. Keeps appliances clean and streak free for weeks.

Yes this is a very good product. Be careful it contains acid, use rubber gloves and safety glasses. I use it full strength to unclog heater cores.

It may very well be. I'm no chemist and years ago a plumber told me on the sly after having to enlist his services to clear our sewer line for the umpteenth time that copper sulfate would do the trick. He didn't tell me the amount to use and I was a C- chemistry student in school. He retired about that time and I went along calling "Roto-Rooter" until I found this stuff in a catalog and bought it. I have a bottle that I'm going to dump in my system for the six month dose and the label indicates it is 99% Copper sulfate pentahydrate and 1% "other ingredients". I have used it for years now and have never had to make a service call to have my line "snaked". I've stayed with it because it has worked for me all these years and also because my ignorance of chemistry keeps me from wanting to use an inappropriate dose of copper sulfate that might screw up the pipes leading to the sewer and cost a large out of pocket expense for repairs. I hope that's helpful. Good luck!

I use it to empty my hot tub for cleaning. I put it on the bottom of the tub and it takes the level down to almost the bottom within a few hours. I love this product!

I think it will. I live in a very old house with convoluted pipes that cannot be snaked. I used this product exactly as stated for unclogging drains and the drain better than they ever had. The maintenance is only two teaspoons a week so I expect it will last. Grease is organic and the enzymes should eat it up. I had some grease in my drain...don't know how much you have but I like this product a lot.

Yes, it is strong enough. It is galvanized tin and I think it would work fine. It reminds me of the wash tubs grandma had with her wringer washer. Well made!

I have not tried to use it for this purpose. I would suggest that it is useful for any hollow pipe of similar size. It would probably clean whatever it touched in a larger duct (perhaps the bottom of the duct) and it would probably "catch" large items like hair balls and lint balls, but it would seem that it is most effective in a duct that the brush fills.

I just used it to clean up some iron stains on both my commode and tub. It seems to work best if you sprinkle it on, dampen it and let it set a bit before you scrub. It is not quite as effective on lime buildup but did quite well on the rust stains.

old copper tube is fine as long as you have compression fittings on it but it is just easier to use the new braided s.s. lines for convenience if you have any issues with the dishwasher. also if you move the unit around a lot flexible lines are always better

Hi again Robin,Can you give any advice on how you used the steamer to clean your tub? I just finally tried mine out last night and it didn't really lift off the soap scum. Maybe it was just too much scum for it to handle?Also, it left residue from what it had picked up on the floor the first time. Any tips?Thanks for your advice!Renee

I would not reccommend using this product without a hose and a strong stream of water. The complete rinsing is important. I also wipe down my wheels after using the product to get all residual chemicals off the wheel.

Are you asking about a jetted bath tub or a hot tub? For a jetted bath tub I would use the Ahh-some. It may take a couple of cleanings to get everything out of the pipes. This product is amazing.
