The ChemEco CU240 really shifts the mindset from reactive unblocking to proactive maintenance. Instead of waiting for a problem, this formula works continuously to keep drains healthy.

- Cons: It's a maintainer, not an instant fix for a completely blocked pipe.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Mill Inn, a popular pub and restaurant in the heart of the Peak District, was constantly struggling with slow-draining sinks and unpleasant odours in their busy kitchen. They needed a preventative solution that didn't require constant attention or harsh chemicals.
"We were calling out a plumber every few months, which was disruptive and costly. Since putting the ChemEco CU240 on an automatic doser, the drains have been flawless. The kitchen smells fresher and our pot wash area runs without a single issue."
Robert Davies – General Manager
The outcome was clear: The Inn eliminated their need for emergency plumbing call-outs for blockages, saving an estimated £600 in the first year.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- For an initial 'shock' dose, pour 200-500ml directly into the drain.
- Always apply at the end of the day or during a quiet period to give the microbes maximum time to work.
- For best results, connect to an automatic dosing pump for a consistent, low-maintenance daily application.
- Rinse the area with a small amount of warm (not boiling) water after application to help it travel down the pipe.
Keeping It Going
- A daily maintenance dose of 50-100ml is typically all that's needed to keep drains clear.
- Avoid pouring strong disinfectants or bleach down the drain immediately after, as this can harm the friendly bacteria.
- Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Keep the cap securely fastened to maintain the formula's effectiveness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is this different from a standard supermarket drain unblocker?
A: Supermarket products are typically harsh, caustic chemicals for one-off emergencies. This is a professional, biological formula designed for continuous, safe maintenance to prevent those emergencies from ever happening.
Q: Is it safe for all types of pipes, like plastic and copper?
A: Yes, its natural enzyme formula is non-corrosive and completely safe for all common types of plumbing, including plastic, copper, and stainless steel.
Q: How often should I be using it?
A: For best results, a small dose should be applied daily, preferably at the end of service, to maintain a healthy colony of microbes in your pipes.
Q: Will this clear a drain that is already completely blocked?
A: No, this is a maintainer. For a total blockage, you will need a mechanical or chemical unblocking solution first. Use this product afterwards to prevent it from reoccurring.
Q: Can I use this to maintain my grease trap?
A: Absolutely. It helps break down the contents of your grease trap, reducing solids and the frequency with which it needs to be professionally emptied.
Q: Does the product itself have a strong smell?
A: No, it has a very mild, neutral scent. It works by eliminating the source of bad odours, not by covering them up with a heavy fragrance.
Q: Roughly how long will a 5 litre container last?
A: With a typical daily maintenance dose of 50-100ml, a 5-litre container can last between 50 to 100 days, making it very economical.
Q: Is any special protective equipment needed to use it?
A: While the formula is naturally derived and non-corrosive, we always recommend wearing gloves as good practice when handling any cleaning or maintenance chemical.

Explore more from ChemEco UKHow Do 'Good Bacteria' Actually Clean Your Drains?
Ever wondered how a 'biological' cleaner works? Think of it like a specialist cleaning crew for your pipes. Harsh chemical unblockers are like a demolition team—they blast through a clog but can leave pipe walls damaged and sticky, ready for the next blockage to form. This enzyme drain treatment for kitchens works smarter, not harder.
The formula introduces millions of harmless, naturally occurring microbes (the 'good bacteria') into your drainage system. These microbes produce specific enzymes that act like tiny keys, unlocking and breaking down molecules of fat, oil, grease, and food waste. They essentially 'eat' the gunk, turning it into a harmless liquid that simply washes away. It’s not an instant blast, but a continuous, deep-cleaning process that keeps the entire pipe healthy from the inside out, preventing build-up rather than just reacting to it.
Who Should Buy This?
- Restaurants & Cafés: To keep kitchen drains free-flowing and completely odour-free during the busiest of services.
- Pubs & Bars: Ideal for preventing stubborn blockages caused by sugary drink residue, syrups, and food waste.
- Hotels & Holiday Parks: To ensure high standards of hygiene across multiple kitchens and utility areas without disruption.
- Schools & Care Homes: A safe and effective way to maintain drains in large-scale catering environments.
