Pothang Pipe Cleaner

Types of blockages

Types of blockages in which the operation of the sewer system is disrupted during the removal of polluted gray water can be divided into several categories, the main ones are as follows:

Simple blockages. Caused by the accumulation of food waste, hair, fatty deposits in siphons and on the walls of pipes. Effectively eliminated by the use of specially designed chemicals for cleaning sewer systems.

Mechanical. The reason for their appearance is the ingress of solid mechanical particles into the household drain system. To eliminate it, you can use a plumbing cable, butuz, chemicals, if they dissolve an object that has entered the sewer system, in some cases it may be necessary to dismantle the sewer system.

Technological. As a result of improper installation of the sewer system (the gaskets are not installed correctly, there are protrusions at the pipe joints) or the presence of a large number of turns, deposits can accumulate at the junctions and corners of the pipes. The main method for eliminating this type of problem is to dismantle the drain system, followed by proper assembly, if this is not possible, the most effective use of special chemicals.

Small slope. In this case, when draining, the water stays in the pipeline for a longer time and, accordingly, dirt deposits inside the pipes accumulate faster. If the correct assembly of the drainage system is not possible, the use of household chemicals will help to get out of the situation.

Pipe deformation. As a result of draining chemicals that corrode the pipeline into the sewer, sudden changes in temperature or over time, sewer pipes wear out (their inner walls become rough) and lose their shape. This causes an increased accumulation of mud deposits inside, the main way to combat which is the installation of a new sewer system.

History and origin

Colonies of Pathans (Pashtun people) arriving in Punjab are accounted for by Sir Densil Ibbetson in the following manner:

The history of Pathans in India is much earlier.Trapusa and Bahalika, variously assumed to be merchants or slaves from Balkh were the first lay-person to accept Buddha. During that time, the regions west of HinduKush, including Afghanistan were ruled by Mauryan empire and their vassal states of Indo-Greeks. These Indo-Greeks were staunch followers of Vishnu and Buddha and ruled large parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. They gave rise to the Hellenistic form of Buddhism which competed with the Mathura form.

Large numbers of Pathans accompanied the armies of Mahmud of Ghazni, Muhammad of Ghor and Babur, and many of them obtained grants of land in the Punjab plains and founded Pathan colonies which still exist. Many Pathans were driven out of present-day Afghanistan and khyber Pakhtunkhwa due to devastated invading forces such as Genghis Khan and his Mongol armies, including internal feuds or famine, and have taken refuge in the plains east of the Indus River where the Mongols marked the line of their aggression. Mehmond Pathan Hoshiarpur were also in the army of Mahmud of Ghazni. Which show the strength of Pathan tribes

The tribes most commonly to be found in the Punjab region are the Niazai, Kundi, Miana, Bangash, Yusufzai, Hassan Zai, Mandanr, Lodhi, Kakar, Sherwani, Orakzai, Tareen, Sulemankhel sulemani, Kakazai, Karlanri,
barakzai, Khizerzai and the Zamand Pathans. Of these the most widely distributed are the Yusufzai, of whom a body of 12,000 accompanied the Mughal Emperor Babur in the final invasion of India, and settled in the plains of India and the Punjab. But as a rule, the Pathans who have settled away from the frontier have lost all memory of their tribal divisions, and indeed almost all their national characteristics.
The oral tradition of Pathans has that they are descendants of the soldiers of Alexander the Great who invaded the area in 327–323 BC. Archaeological evidence, however, suggests a Greek influence before this invasion. A phylogenetic study investigate the possible genetic relation of Pathans with Greeks and found evidence of a limited contributions of Greek genes in the Pathan population.

What is Pothan Pipe Cleaner Chemical Composition

All chemicals for cleaning drain sewer pipes can be divided into two large groups: acidic and alkaline. Alkaline preparations do not have a harmful effect on the metal in comparison with substances containing acid, they remove fatty deposits better, therefore it is widely used in everyday life for cleaning pipelines and plumbing fixtures.

The manufacturer produces Bagi Potkhan in the form of granules or powder, it includes the following components:

more than 30% caustic alkali;
surface active substances (surfactants) from 5 to 15%;
various types of supplements.

Due to its composition, Bagi Pothan not only perfectly eliminates fat deposits, but also dissolves wool, hair, rusty formations, organic food residues, which are the main sources of pollution.

How to determine the presence of a blockage

Before using any means to remove blockages in pipes, it is advisable to make sure that it is necessary to use it for the following reasons:

Reducing the rate of outflow of water. This problem is easy to identify when the faucets are turned on at full capacity - water accumulates in the sink or bathroom.
The appearance of an unpleasant odor from the drain hole also indicates the presence of a blockage with biological waste.
Another sign of clogged sewer drains is the appearance of water in low-lying drains (usually a bathtub or shower) when water is drained from sinks located above. Sometimes this effect is observed when using the washing machine while draining dirty water.

Pothan pipe cleaning instructions for use

Step-by-step instructions for using Pothan pipe cleaner are as follows:

First of all, it is necessary to ensure good ventilation of the room, so when using Bagi Potkhan, gases harmful to health are intensively released. When cleaning the sewer system in the bathroom, it is better to remove towels and personal hygiene items (toothbrushes, washcloths) from it. The tool is potent, so it is better to use rubber gloves to protect your hands, in which all work should be carried out.
Prior to use, drain the siphon approximately 5 cm below the drain hole. This rule is automatically observed in all normally assembled drain systems, so it is very rarely mandatory.
Further, in the drain hole at arm's length with the head turned to the side, it is necessary to fill in the granules in the amount of 70 - 100 g, which corresponds to half a glass. When cleaning the sewer for the first time, it is better to use the maximum amount of the substance, in the future, during preventive cleanings, the dose can be reduced.
Then pour half a glass of hot water into the drain hole, you must wait 3 minutes until the product dissolves the blockage.
After the set time has elapsed, the sewer system is flushed with hot water.
If it is not possible to completely eliminate the blockage the first time, the above procedure is repeated.

Impact on plastic pipes

Bagi Potkhan is a powerful preparation intended for cleaning only thick-walled plastic sewer pipes made of polypropylene or PVC pipes. It should not be used for cleaning thin-walled and drain pipes of washing machines and dishwashers, which may be made of materials other than PVC. It is also not recommended to use the product when cleaning corrugated pipelines - if it is left in the recesses of the corrugation for a long time, it can be damaged.

In any case, sewer plastic pipes after cleaning with potent Bagi Potkhan, it is better to immediately rinse with water for a while.
