Why do we need backflow preventer testing?
Costco sells one with a , lifetime guarantee
Channel locks on a tight screw
Thank you so much for this! I just unclogged the drain and it had hair in it from the previous tenant smh...
Thanks for the video! I was hesitant to ynscrew the furled top plug as it was welded on with corrosion but after watching your video I became brave and got it off. The inside bolt is cheap plastic so I won't reuse. Will try to find a hair catcher insert plug.
Mine is completely stuck, Like a rock… doesn’t move at all :(
What a shock, lennar puts the cheapest piece of shit garbage disposal in new home builds.
I have fractured my back so I can't bend forward to pull the plug, I need to know how to pull and push the plug up and down down
Got the tool for $9 on Amazon. Worked easy. Thanks!
I was someone with plain Jane sink water stopper with nothing to grab onto. Things I learned: 1. taking the outside disc was the only way to grab the stopper that was all the way screwed in. 2.the stopper still required pliers. Got it. 3. When not knowing plumbing, don’t force anything because the stuff is made to link up with ease. 4. When putting the outside disc back on, know that the pipe and puddy that safeguard the initial water from sink doesn’t need to fastened to maximum because the the outside disc needs to connect to that pipe. If it’s fastened to maximum the metal screwing from the pipe and the disc won’t connect. Fasten it to whatever works.
I'm a plumber of 20-plus years. I have to say this was a well DIY video. Informative and accurate in every way.
i can’t unscrew the piece the with the slot for the flathead screwdriver. it’s in so tight that my screwdriver has taken chips off the bolt.
Thank you - ordered the tool and it worked 👍
Ty for the video. Really helpful
Thank you for sharing. It was a great help. Moen and others should provide the tool and instructions to UnJam.
Thank you!!
Makes total sense now! Should be mandatory and/or installed by water dept at every meter!
I was wondering what that tool under the sink of my furnished rental was. It plus your video 👍
I don’t have that tool
I used a flat split crow bar...worked great.
Your video is right, your helping a lot . My regret is I will never never ever will buy this kind of garbage disposal. The other one with the key to unlock the garbage disposal is the best!
The video was very helpful. I got the tool and it solved my problem. Thanks
You do not need to buy that tool; you can use a painter's 5-way scraper. You do not need to unplug the disposal, there is nothing that's going to shock you. Push the button, then put the 5-way tool down in and turn it to loosen any clogs.
Thank you.
Thanks for this, just unclogged mine.
Thanks for this video! Saved me from having to replace it
You and everyone who commented is a life saver. I have guests coming over and of course I started have issues with my disposal. For anyone else who has my issue. So I ran my dishwasher and all the water started backing up in my sink. It was super gross looking and the water would not go down. So I couldn't even see what he sees in this video. but I took the end of a metal rod I had and stuck it down in the water, just put at the bottom, put some pressure against bottom side, not the very bottom, and started churning like you see how people churn butter, keeping the end of the rod taught with the bottom side, like you are trying to push the side around, and then the water started going down. Also I took out my rubber stopper and took a scrub brush and cleaned it all the way out.
Bullshit
I guess i need to go buy a couple sets of pliers 😂 My to is STUCK
Channel locks
Thank you. I love you.
hi was wondering , how do I go about testing back flows with the city, do I have to register with the city? I recently got my certificate I was wondering how do I go about it?
The easiest way is to find a company near you that is hiring for backflow testers. If you already have your certificate, finding a place to work won't be hard to find. Much easier than trying to get your own clients.
Thanks for this video. You have explained it well. 👍
I just use a comically large wooden stick from Home Depot I got laying around and force it to move
I know this is OLD, but hoping someone still peeks at this video from time to time!? We have a Moen GXP50C. The blades do NOT do a full 360, as there are… parts in the way that stop them from making a full circle - bumps in the metal (idk how to explain what they look like?!) as well as 2 bump things on either side of what holds the dang thing together) How does one in-jam MY type of Moen? I am FRUSTRATED! 🫠
What else can I do if that middle part won’t unscrew for me! Help
Although I didn’t have either tool to try and fix mine, it gave me a good point of reference, I started with a 9 mm wrench for the bottom tried twisting that didn’t work, so then I went in with a butter, knife and scraped around the edges just to find a piece of glass jammed in mine, which went down after I tapped it. So this might help as well.

Thank you for the tip, I was getting really frustrated that it wasn't unscrewing by hand. Also, when I got mine open it had a square screw head instead of a flat head.
Hey good video we are getting a halo system soon. The ppm rating on our water ranges from 400-800, will this type of system get that number down below 50? Any idea? Thank you
Parts per million of what? Are you referring to total dissolved solids? If so it will not reduce TDS. For that you would need a reverse osmosis under the kitchen sink.
@@meritplumbing3115 yes I’m looking for spotless water, I have a detailing company and fill up a 60 gal tank and would like the water spotless.

Thanks bro, that was helpful 😃
I used two flathead screwdrivers behind the impellers and got it to turn. Depending on the condition this may work in place of that ridiculous turning tool...
Thank youuuu!!! ❤❤❤
Perfect! Fixed my garbage disposal myself for $6! They sell that basin wrench at harbor freight
What an idiotic design. Trying to use a screwdriver. Power is off
After 2nd Jam, bought tool on Amazon for under $10 and worked great. Thank you for quick version of how to fix.
What do I look for on Amazon for the tool?
