What causes blockages?

Most of the blockages occur around the u-bend or in the pipework directly behind the urinal before it enters the stack. Badly plumbed pipework can also contribute. Overtime, trace elements like uric acid found in urea in urine build up and start to solidify around the drain pipework of the urinal. If left untreated this in combination with other elements will lead to blockages that worsen over time. ecobug® successfully manages these solids preventing them from caking by keeping them in a semi-emulsified state. A reduced flush cycle, at just one flush every 12 hours using a water restriction system, can then move this buildup down to the stack.
