Eek! I just looked at Bulk Apothecary it's $91 to ship a 50lb bucket to me. So 50lbs would total $190, $3.80/lb.

Wholesale Supplies Plus has free shipping over $25, so 18lbs (biggest they have) would be $44.99, $2.50/lb.

Amazon has a 50lb bucket for $111.30 with free standard shipping, $2.23/lb.

It's a shame you can't just buy lye at the hardware store anymore.

I'm guessing you mean what I know as "drain flies."

These breed in decaying, wet organic matter. This is usually a sign that your drains need cleaning with something like roto-rooter but some times an enzymatic drain cleaner will do. That said: it COULD be something as simple as a potato that got kicked under a kitchen appliance and forgotten about. The point here is to find the breeding source and clean it. Sometimes a garbage disposal is the issue...maybe you just need to hose out your trash bins.

If you think it's debris, try a hair snake. They're about five dollars at a hardware store and they'll pull everything out.

You can also find enzyme products like Ecozone that you drop into your drain once a month to dissolve soap scum, grease, etc.

When my gf first moved in, her dad gave me a couple of these things (not exactly this type, but something similar). All he said was “you’ll need these later”.

They work.

First thing that popped up:

FDC 99% Pure Sodium Hydroxide/Pure LYE, 2 lb Jar https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013KMNCJU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_RVJqyb6RRMNJR

So should get similar if not same results ?

Anyone here ever try Professor Amos? My SO watches shopping networks and they push it a lot.

u/Hepworth · 5 pointsr/whatisthisthing

> That wouldn't even work as a drain snake

Didn't say it was a good one. But it is a drain snake.
Reviews look bad.

These freaking condensate lines are a royal pain and will eventually always get clogged. can call hvac person and it should be $50-$100 to get remediated. i hate costs for things like this soooo u can use (judiciously) compressed air or alternatively a long wire to clear the blockage. do NOT blow out this line with extreme pressure or you may blow a fitting.

once fixed then be prepared for it to happen again. if the house is newer you will actually have two condensate lines and one of those lines is considered an “overflow” usually mounted higher or above a window that indicates to you a problem with the first. count me as one of the people who prefers these to drain into the tailpiece of a sink with clear tube for easy inspection and cleaning... but this isnt code everywhere and i hear is frowned upon now 🙄 basically calcium and slimy stuff clogs the line up. you can buy some of these for next time throw in drain pan and try to prevent the issue a little longer Nu-Calgon 4296-60 Pan-Treat Scum 200 Tablets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003N5AS60/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_FiA4CbED5DJNT

This won't help your underlying problem, but might work until you figure it out.

Wow, I was going to make a comment about who the fuck is sending Lye through the mail then I looked it up on Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Sodium-Hydroxide-Grade-Devil-Caustic/dp/B00KCY6N28/ref=sr_1_29?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1419173088&sr=1-29&keywords=Lye

50 LBs of lye is enough to dissolve a body. Fucking hell Amazon.

>Make sure where the ac drains to the outside doesn’t get clogged and run a cap of bleach through it once a year.

Another way is to buy these little strips:

They're meant for indoor FCUs, but if you're a poor ass like a lot of us you only have a crappy window shaker unit - you can usually cut these up and slide these into the drain pan underneath the unit. I had these recommended to me from an HVAC supply store since these fit easier than those fat ass tablets that are normally used for bigger units.

Mercola, Alex Jones, and many other charlatans sell diet and health related bullshit at inflated prices.

I've watched my father and other relatives waste thousands on BS products and treatments over the years.

Yesterday I noticed Wally Amos got him for some drain cleaner my father thought was safer than typical lye based products. It was just lye. https://www.amazon.com/Professor-Amos-SuperFast-Cleaner-Dissolve/dp/B019D5M3AM/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?adgrpid=57745394602&gclid=CjwKCAjw27jnBRBuEiwAdjQXDIAFeNbmnSi9ty-1H_W3qN2-4kPYHhVTWok-QWgndf5pBfEnXIBG3RoCSdEQAvD_BwE&hvadid=274751625050&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=1014108&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t2&hvqmt=b&hvrand=8715928808684565527&hvtargid=kwd-300760420233&hydadcr=8068_9883834&keywords=amos+drain+cleaner&qid=1559135587&s=gateway&sr=8-3

He's been suffering from high blood pressure for years, possibly had a memory damaging stroke because of it. Yesterday he gave me "super beet" juice. https://www.amazon.com/HumanN-SuperBeets-Circulation-Concentrated-Supplement/dp/B01ENMEXO4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?adgrpid=61541747728&gclid=CjwKCAjw27jnBRBuEiwAdjQXDFGepkIdOIb6QZUzr4pvuPCQlp_LnFtfV9mQKnajyacqLPLiHjc_cxoCR5sQAvD_BwE&hvadid=274677702447&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=1014108&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t2&hvqmt=e&hvrand=14147431143119123025&hvtargid=kwd-306771053979&hydadcr=6748_9323790&keywords=super+beets+powder&qid=1559135787&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

Beets and lye are produced by the thousands of tons, and charlatans sell it at grossly inflated prices. Family members have also spent tens of thousands on prolotherapy and acupuncture, and the WHO wants to legitimize all of it.

OK, that's a rant, but I'm just saying the bullshit the WHO wants to legitimize is also costly.
