Hi people,
I recently moved into my house that has a BAR/SINK pump in the basement. The brand of the pump I believe is Flotec 1/4 Horsepower Sink Pump System. It sits below the sink of my basement wet bar and every once in awhile there is a pretty bad odor coming under the sink. I believe it's coming from the sink pump system, and if I pour some hand soup down the drain and let the water run, after a few pumps the smell would go away but will return in a few days again..........
Does anyone know how to remove the smell? I am thinking of dumping DRANO or BLEACH in there but want to check with you guys first. I did a search online and had no luck. I don't believe it's a good idea to dump bleach or drano into a sink pump... I was also thinking of pouring some vinegar in there ( works with garbage disposal.)
what are your thoughts of getting rid of the smell?
