Product Information
Full details
This 2Work Enzyme Drain Maintainer is designed for commercial kitchens, food service establishments, or any facility with significant grease and fat buildup in their drainage systems. Its key benefit is the enzymatic breakdown of stubborn oils, fats, and grease, preventing blockages and eliminating odors without harsh chemicals. A potential caveat is that it works best with regular, consistent application rather than as an immediate emergency solution for severely clogged drains.

FAQs
How often should I use the Enzyme Drain Maintainer?
For best results, use daily or nightly. For automatic systems, set for nightly or multiple times daily depending on the waste load. For manual use, apply 1-2 times per week or as needed for slow drains.
Is this product safe for septic tanks?
Yes, the natural enzymes are biodegradable and safe for use in septic systems.
Can I use this with other drain cleaners?
It is best to avoid using this product immediately before or after harsh chemical cleaners (like bleach, caustics, or acids), as they can kill the beneficial enzymes. Allow time between applications of different types of cleaners.
What types of blockages can this product handle?
It is designed to break down organic matter such as fats, oils, and grease. It is less effective on solid obstructions like wipes, hair clumps, or inorganic debris.
How long does it take to see results?
Results can vary. For maintenance and odor control, you may notice improvement within a few days. For slow drains, it might take a week or more of consistent application to see significant improvement.
Does the product have a strong chemical smell?
No, the product is designed to eliminate odors rather than adding a chemical scent. It has a mild, neutral smell.
What are the storage requirements?
Store in a cool, dry place between 5°C and 30°C. Keep out of direct sunlight and protect from freezing.
Troubleshooting
Drain still slow after application
Ensure consistent application. This product works best over time. For immediate blockages, a manual flush with hot water (not boiling) might be needed, followed by regular enzyme treatment.
Unpleasant odor persists
The source of the odor might be deeper than the drain or not entirely organic. Ensure the product is reaching the affected area and consider a more frequent application schedule. Check for other potential odor sources.
Enzyme product appears cloudy or separated
This can happen with extreme temperature fluctuations. Store the product at room temperature. Gentle shaking may help reintegrate, but if enzymes are significantly degraded by heat, efficacy may be reduced.
Automatic dispenser not working correctly
Check the dispenser's power supply, tubing for blockages, and ensure the reservoir is filled correctly. Refer to the dispenser's manual for troubleshooting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
For manual use, simply pour the recommended amount directly into the drain. For automatic dispensing systems, follow the manufacturer's instructions for filling the reservoir and setting the dosage and frequency. Ensure the dispenser is positioned to deliver the product directly into the drain flow.
Compatibility:
This enzyme drain maintainer is compatible with most standard drain materials, including PVC, metal, and clay pipes. It is safe for use in conjunction with septic systems as it contains natural enzymes. Avoid using it immediately after or in conjunction with strong caustic or acidic cleaners, as these can inactivate the enzymes.
Care:
Store the 5-litre bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the cap tightly sealed when not in use. Regularly clean the dispensing equipment if using an automatic system to ensure optimal performance.
