Rothenberger 72070 Ropump Super Plus Force Pump

I had a blocked toilet and had tried everything from plungers to chemicals to even calling out Dyno-Rod all to no avail. I had read other positive reviews for this product but due to the cost had avoided ordering it. As a last resort I ordered the Rothenberger pump, as the alternative was to cut out walls to get to the drain pipes which would have cost £100's if not £1000's. Within 2 minutes and 3 pumps of the Rothenberger the blockage was cleared. I wish I had ordered it earlier rather than spending weeks on trying alternative options without success. I would definitely recommend this product if other cheaper options don't work for you.

Great item to un block sinks and toilets , only use on solvent jointed pipe work , can blow push fit ones apart , Had problem with next doors drains going in to mine , tried roding pipe work to main drain but didn't work , gave our toilet 10 pump with this item and cleaned the pipe work out a treat , Very easy to use and saves a lot of time and a call out charge ,

Great for unblocking toilets. Heavy duty. I'm a bit unconvinced about using this products for sinks though, water went everywhere as it was hard to get a good seal on drain hole.

Expensive , yes, I thought twice about ordering it , but I had to call someone to unblock the toilets , he used this contraction just once, and presto the toilet was cleared ! As this toilet gets regularly blocked , i thought it was a brilliant piece of equipment , I had to use it since and I can truly say ,it cleared the toilet . It will save hours of trying to unblock the said pipe or calls for a plumber and charged £120 for the service .

I’ve had a slow-running or blocked sink for ages due to poor design of the outflow which has a very gradual gradient and a long-run to the drain. I’ve tried all sorts of chemicals and that provides only short term relief at best. I saw the Rothenberger RoPump on Amazon but baulked at the price, buying a cheapo from Screwfix instead which was useless. Finally bought this the other day. Wow! Dead easy to use and 2-3 pumps and the blockage was cleared with the water racing through. Compared with the Screwfix copy-cat product, this like a bazooka compared with a pea-shooter Don’t buy an inferior product. This one will save you money over time, particularly if you’ve had to call out drain-clearance people in the past

Expensive but a lot cheaper than a plumber. Used gently to avoid damaging push fit pipe work. Quality item

If you want to unblock a sink this is the best bit of equipment you can use. I watched a plumber use one years ago on our kitchen sink and got hold of the name. The trick is to have a little water in the sink and after pumping down draw the handle up very slowly - it can take a few goes but the pressure works to unblock sink etc.

Works well. Keeps you well away from blockage.
