Zep Drain Defense Enzymatic Cleaner Powder - 18 oz (Case of 2) ZDC16 - Safe for Pipes and Septic Systems

This is easy to use. Mix one scoop in a solo cup of hot water. Stir. Dump and flush. Leave sit overnight and repeat the next 2 days. It works!!! Theres enough in this container to do my toliet and drains many times over. Very simple with fast results!!! Buy it. You wont regret it. I dont. The powder doesnt smell. The consistency is normal and the value for your money is epic. Zero leakage.

It's easy enough to use. I put a couple teaspoonfuls down each bathtub, bathroom sink and kitchen sink drains. I will wait to see if there's an improvement on the Phorid fly problem. So far, it's been a couple days and I've not been noticing any significant phorid activity. I'm certain it will work because its an Enzyme cleaner designed to remove food and biological debris that build up in drains which attracts the Phorid fly. Enzyme cleaner was specifically recommended.

I did not get a scoop in mine which is problematic . I used a very liberal amount the first night , my drains were not clogged though I was worried they were sluggish at times . Gave it a good 8 hours after following the instructions . In the morning I filled up the sinks with stoppers , turned on all the faucets otherwise and took out the stoppers sending a rush of water through the pipes . They all drained very well . So much so I believe there was improvement the first night and enough so the next few days will not be able to perform better . However as instructed this first time through I will repeat for 3 nights in a row . I use ridx monthly and have for years . I had also put down Liquid Plumber before winter each year in my pipes feeling sad I was killing good bacteria in my septic systems . Will use this stuff from now on . Took one star off for no measuring cup and fact you really seem to need to use allot at first way more then they recommend . There is no way I will get 44 applications I will be lucky to get the 3 nights times two systems or 6 heavy applications from the $12 container for the first run . After that I imagine I can use less . If I could get it down to what they recommend I would get almost 2 years out of a container ( 44 uses or / 2 systems 22 months ) making it cheap to use . I was most impressed at how it helped my bath drain . Make sure you have a bucket or somewhere to wash your hands . I have a sump pump on a sink downstairs that just pumps out on the drive but otherwise you would need a bucket of water so you would not rinse your bacteria out of the pipe washing your hands .

This should be the only way to keep drains clean. Chemical drain cleaners are toxic and can damage pipes. Then it gets flushed down to the sewage treatment plant where it takes a lot to be removed. Think about it. Cleaning drains with this product uses ENZYMES. THIS WORKS!!! Is crazy inexpensive and gets rid of sink flies and bad smells.

I followed the instructions, and after 3 days of continuous use majority and I mean 99% of the fruit/drain flies were gone. I tried of sorts of different methods and traps but this stuff got to the root of the problem which was the kitchen sink drain. I would highly recommend. Follow what it says use it in your kitchen and/or bathroom sink like I did and I'm certain it will reduce the number of pest you see around around.

This product has everything you need to remove the sludge that accumulates in pipes at a rock bottom price. #1. Amylase: breaks down carbohydrates #2. Lipase: breaks down fats #3. Protease: breaks down proteins #4. Cellulase: breaks down plant fibers #5. Bacteria: eats up what the enzymes above break down. If you compare this product to most other products it's half the price and gives you double the treatments. The powder has a pleasant fruity smell. The only issue I can find with this product is it doesn't have a seal. Mine almost didn't make it since it was about a 1/4 turn away from opening inside the box and spilling everywhere. It comes with a measuring spoon but it most likely will be buried in the bottom like mine was... Other than that I couldn't find a better product at this price.

I had a drain fly problem and unsuccessfully tried some suggestions online for cleaning and unclogging the pipes. I eventually read that an enzyme cleaner might be the best and safest solution to tackle the issue. I bought this product and used it for three nights in a row, leaving it in the kitchen drains overnight, covering the drains, and then rinsing them with hot water the next day. I also used it to clean the garbage disposal as instructed. I believe the drain fly problem is solved for now with the help of this product, deep cleaning my kitchen and using some other methods. The problem is my garbage disposal now smells like rotten sawdust from this powder. I have tried just about everything to clean and sanitize the disposal to remove the smell but it won't go away. The smell wasn't there before I used this product. I don't know what to do.

I've ordered this 4 times in the past for myself and family. Works great. This is the FIRST TIME EVER I've ordered it, and had it show up unsealed, opened, missing the scoop and HALF EMPTY! What.... did they think I wouldn't NOTICE???? I try to get the issue fixed, and all I get it "return the item and drive to a UPS Store" a hour away. When did they get rid of label pickup? Then spend 15 minutes dealing with a broken AI chatbot, and a failure to return a call, to finally get a human in the chat. This is ridiculous. Apparently Jeff needed the money more than we did. What a complete ripoff.

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!

Seems to work well
