The one rule that beats every schedule

A kettle of boiling water once a week, poured slowly, prevents more clogs than any product. Everything else on this page is a refinement of that.

How this is calculated

The model weights hair volume (people × long hair), shower frequency and strainer presence to estimate how fast a hair mat forms, then sets a clearing interval with a safety margin. It is a rule of thumb, not a measurement of your pipe.
