    this seems odd to me
    i like the idea of the turn crank to push a clog through.. but seems to me that this thing would be restricting the flow at the bend on its own, causing more issues during normal usage.

    Pushing a clogged mess farther down the sewer might just increase the plumbing repair bill. Just take the regular trap off and dump it already...

    I agree with #4. a long time ago I saw a trap design that had a cap on the bottom, the idea being that you could remove that to clean it out instead of removing the whole thing. Currently I use a thing that sits in the kitchen sink (the one that does not have a disposal) it is in a bell shape and is made out of metal window screen. it catches anything that could possibly cause problems. since then my drains run great.

    #7: The cap on the bottom is called a clean out plug. They are not preferred because the guke in the bottom causes it to corrode the opening and leak. A new trap only cost a couple of bucks, just replace it if their is a problem.

    It also works as an artificial heart, if you can find someone to install it.

    Had the same feeling as #4. It's a messy job to keep the traditional method, but a deeper clog is no fun at all. Somehow we've managed to construct one that is snake proof... It's diabolical.

    #6, I'd take Bush Jr. any day over a Messiah, and it appears that the public is beginning to agree. Even with the adulation of the MSM Barry's poll numbers are now below 50%. Should have remained a Community Organizer, where he had talent.

    #6 this is for BHO, who hates the US and sides with its enemies.
    Bush at least had some emotion when US citizens were slaughtered. Obama is a disgrace in every way.

    I like how plumbing can turn into an outburst of political tirade.

    Blaming our current president for today's problems is naive. It took 8 years of concentrated effort by the previous administration to burp things up...
