PREACH BROTHER PREACH! I'VE BEEN DOING PLUMBING WORK FOR 20 YEARS. PEOPLE STILL LOOK AT ME CRAZY WHEN I TELL THEM THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A FLUSHABLE WIPE.
I've been flushing wipes for 25 years and never had an issue. I've always been connected to a sewer system though. Oh and I use like 2 - 4 at a time because I want the crack of my butt to be sparkling clean. If I ever clog something up I'll get it fixed. Well worth it imho.
THANK YOU!!!!!! I’ve been a plumber 16 years now and people still don’t understand ESPECIALLY nursing home workers. Or maybe they don’t care because it’s not their house or their problem.

I was a maintenance guy and we had a tenant who used "flushable" wipes I would snake the lines and show her all the wipes I pulled out and tell her please don't flush anymore. She would back up again and on and on it went. After the third snake I told her the next time I pulled wipes from her drain I would have the manager add a charge to her rent for it. Of course she backed up again and I told her It wasn't going to be free this time and she said hold on one second, she comes back out with a triumphant look on her face and says look here pointing to the flushable words on the pack. I told her flushable wipes still clog drains the same as regular wipes and she told me straight up that I had no idea what I was talking about. I left on bad terms and of course she clogged again. Having had enough of her excuses I Googled the number of a plumbing company and asked them on speakerphone to explain if flushable wipes are safe to use and the guy played ball extremely well explaining that wipes and tampons cause about 90% of the clogs they clear. Her face was red but eventually after charging her 3 times she must have stopped because we didn't get called for it again and I would regularly check to make sure she wasn't backing up.
Been renting a home for about 3 years now that has a septic system up here in Alaska. It’s crazy how people think wipes are safe for septic systems. Why anyone would put anything other than fecal matter and toilet paper In a septic is beyond me. Even city water refining plants have gigantic rake like mechanisms that scoop out wipes, tampons, etc because it’s NOT MEANT to be flushed. Period. No pun intended. Keep up the good work! Poop=money!
Man it's even more important not to fuck up your septic tank here in Alaska cause if you can't repair your water system you gonna be living dry like half the rest of the state lmao
@@seventhbeanofaseventhbean exactly. If you screw up the septic system with my renting home it’s going to mess up the well water system as well. Double whammy!
LOL!!!! I’m with you. Service plumber here too. I worked for Roto-Rooter for ten years then moved to commercial service plumbing. I love it! What about you? Are you residential or commercial?
We've been on a septic for over 35 years. A few times we've had issues and our septic guy has been great at helping us out. Can't tell you how much we appreciate you'all and the job you do!
I remember way back in the day (can't remember which brand) that a brand of "flushable" wipes had "Do Not Flush", or something similar, written in small print on the back. This was a couple decades ago when these wipes were pretty new. It's basically why we never used them.
@@JacobAnawalt It doesnt even have to be “fibrous and clingy” at that point. When there is that much grease, it grabs anything, even regular toilet paper.
Kimberly Clark changed cottonelle to be more flushable. Worth testing those. You could tell when they switched as the wipes fall apart easier in your hand etc.
My husband is a plumber. There isn't a flushable wipe out there. His sewer machine proves that when he pulls out hundreds from a clogged toilet. Does keep him in business though!
Top 5 "killers" of septic systems that ive encountered being a point of sale septic Inspector in NC as well as troubleshooting and maintenance are; 1)tree roots 2)lack of maintenance 3)"flushable" wipes 4)Extreme water usage 5) grease
The marketing key words there are “WELL-MAINTAINED”-aka the people selling those wipes are 100% aware that the wipes will clog up the system. They just don’t care. You can flush them-you just have to deal with the backup yourself!
Right but WHY when they're advertised as fully safe and totally flushable aren't the company's forced to pay for the damage. Why aren't they forced to remove false advertising We can call people stupid for flushing them but THEY DON'T KNOW. They're trusting that itif the company claims it it must be true. Because obviously if it was false advertising then the company would be FORCED to take it down and punished for it. And they haven't been so they MUST be ok.
The wipe problem was so bad in my city, the waste management department in my city took out ads in my local theater to tell people not to flush their wipes down the toilet.
Just get a bidet! They install under the toilet seat and take 10 min to setup. You'll never go back to primitive wipes or toilet paper! Bidets get you so clean!
Im a plumber. Flushable wipes have been a godsend for bisiness. Let me tell ya! 600$ to pull your toilet, cable the line, reset the toilet and warranty.
My dad always taught me that no wipes are flushable. My parents also taught me to NEVER flush any feminine hygiene products either. Only waste and TP go in the toilet.
It says right on it Flushable, the company is simply saying "yeah, they won't clog up your toilet if you try to flush it" it also says well maintained, which im comfortable saying hardly anyone has, because landlords don't like to maintain properties, just their lifestyle
I tested the Cottonelle wipes for myself. They break down really well so I am comfortable using them. I tested the Kandoo flushable kids wipes and they took way too long to dissolve. I will never use them again!
Thank you!!! I'm a WWTP operator and there is no such thing as "flushable baby wipes". Trust me people I see what y'all flush and those are a plant stopper
Have to have quite a bit of wastewater in the septic tank to break down the new reformulated Cottenelle wipes. The old stuff broke down a little bit, if at all. Low water 1.6 - 1.28 gpf terlits don't bide well for any plumbing. Waste stacks up in the pipes, especially if they arent on proper slope or grade. Now combine that with garbage disposal waste not using enough water!
There no flushable wipes, if they are made of cloth material, which MOST are, they take a huge amount of time to dissolve and THE cloth part of them never will. Wipes go in the bin, even my 3 year old daughter knows this and always reminds me : only poop, pee, and normal toilet paper go in the toilet. Great videos and love your shorts! Best regards from Germany where septic tanks are quite usual, only in remote places 😂
The amount of Tp you said was about what most people use. IDK anyone who only uses that much, but still your point is on point. And what about the load of poop 💩? 🤣
I think it's some kind of American "cultural" thing. But here in Brazil we don't use wipes, and we don't throw toilet paper in the pooper. We throw it in the thrash.
Honestly, when a wipe is neatly folded it goes into the trash can like a dream, no smell. Why this isn't clearly understood, "Flush paper, trash wipes," at the very least in America is beyond me.
I've told this to people as an inspector and they think I'm an idiot. I don't know how to get through to some people. We just had a building in my town that half of the building had no water for no toilets for 4 days because it was so clogged up with flushable wipes
If it ain't brown...don't flush it down! Love your videos as I do the same thing (septic service). You are quite a bit nicer than I concerning those damn "FLUSHABLE " wipes! I and others in this industry, pumbers, WWTP operators ect would like to catch up with the guy who said the are "FLUSHABLE " and have a chat ‼️
Bro what is with people and these wipes. I’m a huge advocate for bidets. It’s hilarious how people act so grossed out by bidets but then go and smear poop all over themself with a piece of paper
I’ve reached out to several bidet companies to try and get an affiliate link. I installed one on my personal toilet and save so much money. Takes like 2 sheets to dry after the bidet and my bum is immaculate
Yes! When my twins were in diapers I did cloth. I had to get a sprayer for cleaning off the poos, and it’s attached to the tank, so 🤷♀️ I have a bidet.
I'm a journeyman plumber and you never flush ANY wipes. They will always clog your pipes unless you have perfect pipes and none has perfect pipes in Texas you will have at least one break in the yard.
I am a plumber and the wipes that say flushable wipes are not flushable at all as you seen it took some strength to rip that wipe. Now from my experience the “flushable” wipes are the same thing as a regular wipe that doesn’t say flushable. I been inside house and had to run a snake down the sewer line just to clear it because the wipes end up getting stuck inside the sewer. DO NOT FLUSH ANY TYPE OF WIPE NO MATTER WHAT IT SAYS.
Also never flush tampons they swell up and clog pipes. I did a plumbing job and removed 30 of those damn thungs clogging up a line. Gross as hell, i quit after that one.
Toilet paper is specifically engineered to break down quickly in water. The wipes are not. If they broke down in water you’d just get a package of mush cause they’re already wet when you get them. They claim that they are “safe for well maintained sewer and septic systems” but most people don’t maintain their septic systems very well. They usually don’t think about it until it starts backing up, but even then they don’t break down like TP and they easily get caught up in your pipes and systems. If you like the feeling of cleanliness then get a bidet, and if you absolutely insist on using them, then get a small sealing trash can and put it next to your toilet so you can throw them out instead of flushing them.
Going by the wipe manufacturer marketing logic, I have flushable golf balls. Looks like anything that fits through the pipe is flushable. Balled up plastic shopping bags are not only recyclable, but, you guessed it: flushable. If you see a made up word that ends in "...able", you KNOW that some soulless monster with a mail order degree in marketing and medieval English literature was at work. And every time you hear a wipe being flushed, someone else us getting a bonus.
00:47 _MMMMmmmmmm! Smells like...Water!_ 💧🤣 I've been using legitimately flushable/septic-safe wet-wipes for years. No, I'm not using some over-marketed commercial product...I'm simply taking a few sheets of normal TP, folding it into four layers, then wetting it under the tap. Cleans just as well as any commercial wet-wipe, but *can* be safely flushed (It'll still break up like normal) _and_ is considerably cheaper, too! 👍 Otherwise: If you *have* to use commercial wet-wipes, use a trash-can for them too. Even if it's just a rinsed-out milk bottle that's kept by the toilet (So the lid contains any odour) it's still better than putting them down the loo...And will save you a 💩-load of money on septic pump-outs, too! 👍
Please address the flushable cat litter. There are many kinds of litter people believe can be flushed and I would love for you to show how wrong those claims are.
“Yea but the wipe is gone and it all goes to a fairy tale land where I don’t have to see it again” This same person probably either complains about your bill when you come to pump them or their City’s utility bill.
Try to use those cottonelle flushable wipes they don’t have those plastic particles that make up a wipe they actually break down in your sewer line and they are plumbers approved 👍🏽
This should really be common knowledge by now- the wipes are not flushable, they are lying to you, else they would not remain in separate pieces in the package.

Fatburgs are actually huge grease logs that collect soap scum and everything else. Thats why they are called fat burgs.

The marketing key words there are “WELL-MAINTAINED”-aka the people selling those wipes are 100% aware that the wipes will clog up the system. They just don’t care. You can flush them-you just have to deal with the backup yourself!
Even then, they don’t break down at anywhere near the rate as the rest of the stuff, kinda like your garbage disposal purée of kitchen scraps.
Well maintained, meaning pump it so frequently that the wipes don't have time to cause an issue.
All flushable means is that it flushes down the toilet. It does not mean the wipe will not wreak havoc on the septic system.

Try to use those cottonelle flushable wipes they don’t have those plastic particles that make up a wipe they actually break down in your sewer line and they are plumbers approved 👍🏽
Bidet supremacy
Yes
This should really be common knowledge by now- the wipes are not flushable, they are lying to you, else they would not remain in separate pieces in the package.
I'd be curious to see how the wipes handle staying in the container for a couple of days
I would start recommending people use bidets instead. They're amazing and less solid waste
Moral of the story..... nothing goes down the toilet except toilet paper, pee, poop, vomit.
