Features & Benefits

Features

Under favorable conditions Maintain® will digest and liquefy organic wastes and eliminate odors. This process will unclog drain lines, grease traps, vent pipes and stacks, and air conditioning towers. Retreatment on a regular preventative maintenance schedule will keep these devices operating properly.

Recommended Usage Level

• Grease Traps: For best results, start program immediately after pumping grease trap. If this is not possible, first add 1 qt./25 cu. Ft. (1 liter/8 cu. Meters) capacity directly to grease trap. Place this container and the metering device close to the line which goes into grease trap. Drill hole into line and screw in fitting. Put plastic delivery tube into this container and make sure it goes all the way to the bottom and will remain so. Adjust timer on metering device to deliver suggested amount mid way during period of lowest flow to grease trap. For grease traps with volumes of 25 cu. Ft. (8 cu. Meters) or less, use 5 oz. (140ml.) per day. Use an additional 5 oz. (140 ml.) per additional 25 cu. Ft. (8 cu. Meters) of grease trap volume.
• Drain Lines: Place this container and the metering device in a convenient location so the delivery tube can add the suggested amount on the same schedule as for grease traps. The daily application rates are based on the inside diameter of the pipe as follows: 2in. (5cm)‐4oz. (110 ml.); 4 in.(10cm.)‐8 oz. (225 ml.); 6 in. (15cm.)‐12 oz. (330 ml.); 8 in. (20 cm.)‐ 16 oz. (450 ml.) Experience may show that after the drain line is free of grease, the application rates can be reduced.
• Down Lines/Stacks: First, pour into the basement sump the same amount as for sizes of grease traps above. Next, if there is no blockage in the down lines, go to the roof and pour one pint down each stack once a week. This will gradually work its way down the lines. If there is a blockage, locate and start application one floor above. As soon as blockage is removed, start applications on the roof. This product will not clear up blockages of wood, clothing or inorganic materials.
