Does this thing really work? Yes!
How long is the Zip-It? It is 20
inches long with 18 inches of barbed length.
Is that long enough to get into the
trap? Yes. Most clogs start at the stopper mechanism.
Your water will start to drain slowly before there is
anything in the trap.
Will it work on deep clogs? No.
But, the Zip-It can prevent them. Use the Zip-It as
soon as your drain begins to slow. You will yank out
the clog before it has a chance to wash further down
into the drain.
What does the Zip-It cost? Cheaper
than chemical drain cleaners.
Is the Zip-It reusable? If you
really want to clean off all that gunk, sure, you can
get 3 or 4 uses out of it. But, at the price, why bother.
How long does it take to clean a drain
with the Zip-It? If it takes longer than 30 seconds,
you're doing something wrong.
Who invented the Zip-It? Gene Luoma
of Duluth, Minnesota.
Is it patented? Yep.
How did he think of it? One day
Gene had a clogged drain and he didn't want to deal
with plunging or snaking it, or, worse, pouring harsh
chemicals into his septic system. He thought there had
to be an easier way. Then he noticed his daughter's
old, thin, plastic sled. It had a tear down the center
of it that was rather jagged. Gene thought, "that'll
work". So, he cut a long strip of plastic from
the sled and cut some barbs into it. He pushed it into
the drain, pulled it back out and the Zip-It was born.
Why didn't I think of that? That's
what we all say.
Does he have any other ideas? Gene
has loads of them.
Where can I get one? Ask for it
at fine stores everywhere.
