hydrochloric acid to clear a clog?
they sell 17% here, it reads on the bottle i should dilute it so i diluted it with even more water and it didn't work i feel stupid
is 17% going to fuck up my plastic or pvc pipes? it's been sitting in there for like half a day now unable to unclog whatever it is that is clogging my pipes
>>

Lye works better imo.

muriatic acid

meme acid

lye (naoh or koh) works better. it breaks down fats (found in the organic materials clogging your drain) into water soluble organic compounds that flow freely down the drain. hydrochloric acid doesnt do anything like this.
>>
>>2826932
mix hydrochloric acid together with lye to clean your drains
it will destroy both acidic and basic clogs
>>
>>2826999
It will also destroy you but that's a plus cause you will never have to deal with a clog again.
>>
>>2827010
totally harmless to mix
>>
increase the concentration
>>
>>2827010
NaOH (sodium hydroxide (lye)) + HCl (hydrochloric acid) NaCl (sodium chloride) + H2O (water)
you make a solution of salt water by combining them in the proper ratio.

Its spelled muratic

I really wouldn’t use hydrochloric. Plumbers generally don’t use it because there’s lots of better options, as mentioned by other anons. Ideally you could snake it, is that not an option?

People normally use that for cleaning. Sulphuric acid is used to unclog drains.
