96% appreciated the reaction time
I tried 5 other drain cleaners before, but the drain opener worked in about 5 minutes.
After adding the chemical drain opener, I waited for 2 minutes and then added warm water. I heard loud fizzing in pipes and after 15 minutes, I added more of the chemical and turned on the water to get it moving through pipes. After 2 minutes, I heard a loud clug and the drain was cleared.
After pouring the acid into the drain, I started hearing sounds of things moving within 30 seconds.
