The system includes delivering a predetermined amount of drain cleaning composition to an obstruction wherein the predetermined amount may be delivered by a single-use packet. The composition for clearing a clogged drain may include sodium bisulfate, moisture, sodium sulfate, potassium, calcium, or iron.

Claims (31)

1. A composition for clearing a clogged drain, the composition comprising:

between 90% and 95% sodium bisulfate by weight; and

between 0.05% and 0.19% moisture by weight;

between 3% and 9% sodium sulfate by weight;

between 0.5% and 0.9% potassium by weight;

between 0.5% and 0.9% calcium by weight; and

between 0.5% and 0.9% iron by weight.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is in a granular form.

3. A method for clearing a clogged drain, the method comprising:

providing a drain-clearing composition, the composition comprising:

5. A kit for use in clearing a clogged drain, the kit comprising:

a plurality of single-use packets, each packet comprising a wall forming a chamber, a portion of the wall constructed to be torn open;

a pre-measured amount of a drain-clearing composition disposed in the chamber of each packet, the pre-measured amount comprising the minimal amount of drain-clearing composition necessary to clear the clogged drain;

wherein the drain-clearing composition comprises:

between 90% and 95% sodium bisulfate by weight;

between 0.05% and 0.19% moisture by weight;

between 3% and 9% sodium sulfate by weight;
