How to use

To operate the ROPUMP SUPER PLUS, first select the appropriate adapter based on the drain type—the short adapter is suitable for sinks and tubs, while the long adapter is designed for toilets. Ensure a tight seal between the adapter and the drain opening. Position the device over the drain and move the handle back and forth to create the necessary suction and pressure cycles. The force generated will dislodge the blockage, allowing water to flow freely through the pipe.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of the adapters with your specific drain fixtures
• Assess the nature of the blockage to ensure manual suction is sufficient
• Consider the physical space available around the drain for effective handle movement

Usage recommendations

Always ensure a secure seal between the adapter and the drain surface to maximize the suction and pressure effect. After clearing a blockage, flush the system with warm water to ensure all debris has been completely removed from the pipework.
