ROTHENBERGER Industrial suction pressure cleaner RoPump, drain cleaner for removing pipe blockages in the siphon and drain area.

Our waste in the bathroom is a newfangled horizontal one and with toothpaste and soap the silicon insides get a bit bunged up, but a few pumps with this and it is clear, water runs away like it was new, so all I will be doing every few weeks is give it a pump.I will try it on our sink as one side can get a bit slow but sure this will sort it out as well.Shame it has only one size of rubber though, may be looking for a cheap one with extra bottoms.

DOES THE JOBThe RoPump easily cleared my slow-draining kitchen sink. Supplied cup (on the left in photo) has a diameter of about 95mm and covers my bathroom sink (normal plug size) and larger shower plughole. While it just about fit over the larger kitchen sink hole, it didn't create a good seal. So, as shown in photo, I PVC-taped a smaller cup to the RoPump (from a similar product purchased in past for £8) which fit the recessed plughole well.RELIABLEI'm hopeful it’ll keep its water-squirting oomph for years. My other brand of pump quickly lost its ability to pull in / push out water due to a poor seal between the plunger and the tube. The RoPump has a metal (as opposed to a plastic) central plunger rod. If I put my finger over the end of the pump, it makes a vacuum and the handle stays put. It also looks like you can take off the top by undoing two screws. These design features say ‘well made and potentially serviceable bit of kit’ to me. Time will tell…!NOT DESIGNED FOR LOOSRothenberger don’t advertise it as being able to unblock toilets. I imagine this is due to its smaller, sink-friendly cup rather than a negative reflection on its loo-clearing potential. If I ever need to unblock a loo, I'd tape on the bigger cup (on the right in photo) from my previous gizmo that safely cleared a toilet before its pump failed.LOO-UNBLOCKING YOUR PRIORITY?Suggest getting a similar water-pump with a larger cup designed for toilets. If it works, job done. If seal is faulty, either A) Return for refund or B) Keep it, get a RoPump and jury-rig the larger cup.POSSIBLE LOO WORKAROUNDAttach an old toilet plunger cup using some PVC tape. May need to drill/cut about a 10mm (minimum) diameter hole in cup where handle fits for the water jet to pass through.USE CLEAN WATERThis pumps water rather than air so it needs a good fill of the wet stuff to work. When unblocking a loo with a similar product in the past, I didn’t like the idea of sucking foul water into the pump. I just syringed up clean water from the bathroom sink and put a finger over the pump hole as I moved it to the loo where it worked its magic. Simples 😎SUPER PLUS ROPUMPLooks impressive but I'm happy with this smaller version. It's about £60 cheaper and reusing cups from the previous device gives me flexible unblocking options.This is my first ever Amazon review! If you found it useful, I’d be grateful if you could let me know by hitting the ‘Helpful’ button. Thanks.

I've never been so compelled to write a product review before! This thing is just gold! Have been struggling with a blockage for weeks and tried everything to no avail. This thing did the job in just a couple of pumps. The suction is great! Saved so much money in the alternative of sorting it out by a professional. I'm so happy I found this absolutely great but of kit. Highly recommended!!

This is a great piece of kit and works very well

This is a much better plunger than my previous one. East to draw up water and flush with decent force. I think it will last better and do a better job too.

Never had the oppertunity to try this on the bog, but it's come in clutch for unclogging the sink so was worth the money to have on hand.

Didn’t have any success. The shaft sheared off the head in the pump, probably after about 20 pumps. during use, found the cup would turn inside out, a little awkward.Had hoped a more expensive and branded product would sort my blockage, but had no success with this one.
