Just don't use Northern. It's the only brand I've found that causes blockage. Everything else works fine.
I have been using Northern for 9 years full time. Never a problem. Just use a lot of water regardless of what you use.
I used to use it at home. I repeatedly had clogging issues when I used the bathroom in the original section of the house (with the original 1940 plumbing vs the 1992 section).
Changed to Costco and AngelSoft brands. Didn't have clogging issues again. At all.
In addition, when I snaked the sewer pipes for tree roots, the northern would always come back up caught up in the roots. The other brands don't and I only have to snake every 5-7 years instead of every 2 years.
Apparently Northern doesn't break down easily. So if it gets caught up on something, it's there for a good long while creating a potential backup issue. The other brands don't hold up long enough to create that backup issue.
