Troubleshooting
Rod sections are difficult to screw together.
Ensure the threads on both the rod and the joint are clean and free of debris. Try gently aligning the threads before twisting.
Joint feels loose during use.
Stop immediately and ensure the rod is being rotated exclusively in a clockwise direction. Tighten the connection firmly by hand.
Brush not cleaning effectively.
Ensure the brush is securely attached to the rod. For tougher blockages, consider using a more specialized attachment if available and compatible.
Rod bends excessively.
The rods are designed with some flexibility. For very severe blockages, additional force may be required, but avoid excessive bending which can weaken the material over time.
