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.

I have used the pump to unblock the drain pipe for the kitchen sink and I have succeeded to unblock the dishwasher pipe joined to the main pipe on a "T" joint. Therefore I have moved a blockage from dishwasher pipe on the main drain pipe ending up with a mess in the kitchen because that grease stopper on the main pipe didin't want to move anymore. Fortunately I have Home emergency response and they come quick and sort the problem. I would say the pump is very powerful but probably needs to be used by professional plumbers to avoid experiences like this. Especially in UK where the pipes and drainage are NOT at a German standard. Every little bit on plumbing cost a fortune to be repaired and the overall quality is very poor. Therefore I would rate this product as good but I have given it to a friend (not British plumber) who works in the plumbing field and knows better how to use it. Thanks! Radu Chiritoiu
