If you flush enough urine down a toilet (gallons upon gallons in bulk [average of 1.5 L in one go] over an extended period), can the uric acid crystalize into a clog?
no
>>3011344Wouldn't it get washed away by water?
>>3011354One would think so.
as a service plumber I can tell you will certainty, pull any urinal off a wall without a decade of maintenance and the 1.5-2" pip will be half full of mineral buildupit's quite dramatic and a disgusting bitch to deal with
>>3011360i'll add, if something like this is a problem you are avoiding. using this once a month or so will essentially negate future issuesbut at a certain point it's too late and you have to resort to mechanical solutions
>>3011344Are you draining someone's piss bottles?
I have changed the cast iron dvw from 4 bathrooms at a 120 year old school. The urinals were straight crystal piss and the shitters were petrified logs. Kids also flush the WORST stuff down the toilets.
>>3011344I am currently storing urea in 25 liter jugs. I will let you know if any crystallize bud
>>3011344toilet no. but back in the army we had a urinal that got clogged all the time. i felt bad for the poor soul who had to maintain it. there were also some other crap that i've seen back in the day, but i keep it to myself to not gross out people.
>>3011360yeah we call it piss crystals and its more disgusting than dealing with septic tanks
>>3011362Yeah maybe he was just asking for a friend.
>>3011361$50 for a bottle of hydrochloric acid?If it’s “acid crystals”, probably bleach would work better.
