Troubleshooting
Rods get stuck in the drain.
Carefully rotate and try to extract the rods. If necessary, disassemble the rods to remove them piece by piece. Do not force them.
Plunger is ineffective.
Ensure a good seal around the drain opening. Add water to the drain to create a better seal. Use a rapid up-and-down motion.
Worm screw cannot dislodge the blockage.
Try rotating the rods in different directions and angles. If the blockage is too severe, consider seeking professional help.
Joints keep disconnecting.
Ensure the joints are securely connected before use. Check for any damage on the joints.
