Introducing the Virax 290210 pump drain cleaner

How to choose the right drain cleaner?

There are several types of drain cleaners on the market. The choice depends on the nature of the blockage, the type of pipe, and the frequency of use.

1. The traditional suction cup

  • ✅ Simple, inexpensive.
  • ❌ Effective only on small superficial plugs.
  • Ideal for occasional use in a sink or washbasin.

2. The mechanical ferret

  • ✅ Allows you to reach deeper plugs.
  • ❌ Less effective on fatty deposits or large clumps.
  • Recommended for long and winding pipes.

3. Chemical drain cleaner

  • ✅ Fast action on certain blockages (grease, hair).
  • ❌ Corrosive product, dangerous for the environment and pipes.
  • Avoid repeated use.

4. The pump unblocker (like the Virax 290210)

  • ✅ Powerful and versatile, suitable for sinks, showers, bathtubs and toilets.
  • ✅ Clean, fast and ecological use.
  • ✅ Durable, designed for multiple interventions.
  • ❌ Larger investment than a basic suction cup, but quickly profitable.

💡 In summary : for an individual who wants an effective and lasting solution or a professional who intervenes regularly, the pump unblocker is the best compromise.
