The mainline takes all that wastewater to your municipal main sewer drain pipe connection. The drain lines are the lines in your home that connect your drain system to the mainline. Expect to hear more about these types of gels in the future if bans on flushable wipes are implemented. Using a gel wipe in conjunction with toilet paper would be much better for both your bottom and the main sewer system. On a brighter note, a US veteran-owned company called Refresh Wipes here in the US has released an Eco-Friendly toilet paper gel that is applied to bathroom tissue. These non-degradable products that are flushed end up congealing into a huge fat disgusting blob that blocks sewers. Flushable wipes end up clogging up the city's main sewer drain systems and contribute to what is known as a " fatberg." You really don't want to know what these wipes contribute to. Instead, the wipes failed to fall apart or disperse safely in tests. Since the invention of flushable wipes, they will tell you that their callouts have increased significantly due to problems with "not so flushable wipes."įor example, a recent study in Ontario, Canada, tested 101 single-use wipes, and not one of them passed a flushability test.
However, it doesn't mean it won't cause a blockage anywhere down the line.Īsk any plumber. This includes "flushable wipes." The manufacturer's definition of flushable means it won't come back up into the bowl after it's flushed. Therefore, paper towels, cigarette butts, feminine hygiene products, condoms, children's toys, and literally everything else have no place in your home's plumbing. Everything else is not designed to disintegrate. A toilet is only designed to carry away human waste and dissolvable toilet tissue.
