01

Why the pipe objects

Test sticks contain plastic, absorbent material and sometimes small electronic components that remain intact in plumbing.

02

Do this instead

Follow the package directions, protect private information if desired and place the test in the trash.

03

Already did it?

Do not flush again to test your luck. If the bowl rises, drains slowly or gurgles, stop using the toilet and call a plumber before it overflows.
