Cleaning the drain on the galley sink

[tonywright]

Recently the drains were not working so well, and I was thinking of doing the project to replace the standard draining arrangement. Then I found this $4 gadget in Home Depot. It is just the right size to fit down our drains in the galley. After a couple of passes with this, the drains are back to working 100%. Thought I would share...

Is this similar to HF? http://www.harborfreight.com/ez-zip-drain-cleaner.html



I wonder if this would fit the drain for a power flush? http://www.harborfreight.com/small-drain-cleaning-bladder-99943.html

Yes Ken, exact same thing. Doesn't surprise me that we pay twice as much in Canada! The power flush could be interesting as well, although I might expect a fountain from the twin sink, since they don't have the drainage of a residential sink.

Guys : If you mix a little bleach in with water, close the galley sink thru hull, pour it in the sink so it fills the drain lines,  let it set a few hours or over night, it will clean out any accumulation in the lines.

I did that a couple of times a season and never had a problem.
