These enzymes are hungry!!! Totally clear drain. - This product works great!! You have to follow the instructions, and use it for 3 nights straight, otherwise it may not work. I didn't fully understand about the drain cleaners till now. Some are meant to power through pipes and cut a hole through the gunk and have your drain open up and let the water flow through - like Liquid Plumber Gel, which are more like a strong acid to burn their way through. Enforcer DC16 is an enzyme based drain cleaner which actually eats away at the gunk in your drain, which takes a bit of time. Once it eats away all the gunk - your pipes are totally CLEAN and water flows great. That's why it takes 3 nights (of eating) especially when you haven't done this in a long time. I used this in my kitchen sink and bathtub drain for 3 nights. My kitchen drain was running just okay, so I used a plunger just like 3 times, and then suddenly the kitchen drain ran beautifully. However, then the bathtub drain completely closed and I was shocked at how much gunk came up - more than I ever saw. What apparently happened was that the enzymes ate the walls of the pipes (drain) and cleared off all of the gunk in the pipes but it overwhelmed the drain pipe, and now no water was going down. I put in a half of a bottle of the Liquid Plumber Gel, and it took almost one hour before the Gel (acid) burned through and the water then completely went down, and ever since the drain is the best it has been in a long time. Water flows down very well. The enzyme cleaner hasn't just made a hole in the gunk, but actually cleaned it out, which is what an enzyme cleaner does. Fantastic!!! Now, I just have to do the maintenance scoops every month or two months and the drains will be fine. It's really easy to use also. Just put the scoop in hot water in a 16 oz jar, and put in the drain at night - 3 nights in a row. I think it's always best to run some hot water in the drain - about 1 minute, prior to putting the enzyme down for the best results. I looked at other enzyme cleaners, and some are in liquid form. It's definitely more expensive (paying for convenience and water). This is actually very convenient with the scoop inside. It's cheaper, very effective, and takes up less space. All I know is that this works fantastic. You just have to be patient for the 3 nights, and you might need something like Liquid Plumber Gel the first time you do this, (and a plunger) if you never did this before, and there is lots of hair, gunk, grease etc. in your pipes, and it takes all of this off your pipes for the first time. Review: Fix the stink - No amount of cleaners or bleach could get rid of the smell coming from our bathroom drain. Couple doses of this stuff and it’s good as new. Highly recommended! ## Features - 16 oz. concentrate - Up to 40 treatments - For slow-running drains and preventative maintenance - Not for use with inorganic build-up or hair-clogged drains - Safe for all pluming and septic tanks ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000AXDLAI | | Best Sellers Rank | #532,641 in Health & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Health & Personal Care ) #1,339 in Chemical Drain Opener | | Brand | Zep | | Brand Name | Zep | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 941 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00021709500165 | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Weight | 0.55 Pounds | | Liquid Volume | 18 Fluid Ounces | | Manufacturer | Zep | | Model Number | DC16 | | Net Quantity | 510.2914 Grams | | Number of Items | 40 | | Part Number | DC-16 | | Product Benefits | Prevents clogs and maintains clean pipes with enzyme-based formula | | Scent | Unscented | | UPC | 021709500165 021709015720 | | Unit Count | 510.2914 Grams | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Zep - **Scent:** Unscented - **Item Weight:** 0.55 Pounds - **Product Benefits:** Prevents clogs and maintains clean pipes with enzyme-based formula - **Manufacturer:** Zep ## Images ![Zep DC16 Drain Care Build-Up Remover Powder 18 Ounces ZDC16 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-AxM4r27L.jpg) ![Zep DC16 Drain Care Build-Up Remover Powder 18 Ounces ZDC16 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81m7hrUg+XL.jpg) ![Zep DC16 Drain Care Build-Up Remover Powder 18 Ounces ZDC16 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51B5j0KxjJL.jpg) ![Zep DC16 Drain Care Build-Up Remover Powder 18 Ounces ZDC16 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816JVtHvEJL.jpg) ![Zep DC16 Drain Care Build-Up Remover Powder 18 Ounces ZDC16 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61sp52QN-SL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: When I snaked the ub drain it brought back hair clogs that looked like steel wool, with this remove/destroy hair clogs? what is the shelf life** A: I agree with the two responses below. Drain Care will not open a clog drain. But it will dissolve grease & other organic material. It will over a very long time dissolve hair. But if the hair has nothing to catch on it should hopefully move thru your pipes. Our drian pipes were very slow draining when we brought the house we live in now, but after using Drain Care, they have been working great. I do treat my drains about twice a year. And Drain Care has a shelf life of about 2 to 4 years. If you get this product just make sure that you follow the directions, & you won't be sorry on how well it works. **Q: does this work in toilets?** A: Yes, it works fantastic. I used to have issues with the toilets in my previous house & once I started using this. Bye, bye problems. I used it once a month and alternated between them from month to month **Q: How many treatments in this 18oz. container?** A: There is a scoop inside the container that is marked 25.0 cc. The instructions say to use one scoop as directed for 3 consecutive days. - I would guess that you will get 15 + treatments per container. **Q: No scoop. How much do you use for a drain in volume measurement, i.e. Tspn or tspn?** A: Thank you for your inquiry. The scoop may settle in the powder during shipping. Two table spoons is the equivalent of one scoop. Mix 2 tablespoons in 16 ounces of warm water. Pour the mixture into the drain and wait 6 hours. Use the Zep Drain Care Build-up Remover for 3 consecutive days to clean the pipes, then once a month for maintenance. We appreciate your business and opportunity to service you. Sincerely, Zep Inc.
