No it doesn't, its sold as drain cleaner, just tip it down one.One of the biggest problems for me is disposing of the waste and caustic multiplies that problem tenfold
They are two entirely different processes. I have never really understood why you'd want caustic soda in an electrolysis tank when less harmful electrolytes are available.

I've got scars from putting it plastic bottles with tin foil so they go bang. You do stupid stuff when you're young.
Well it's a shame that electrolytic doesn't degrease and remove zinc, that is a big minus without the caustic soda. I had it at 80g/l, I've seen some books recommend 40g/l. It was a pain though, it always gets on you as it's a garage environment.In the highly diluted form you should have had it, the caustic solution is of negligible risk. There are valid reasons/conditions for using caustic on occasion too. You're being overly paranoid unless you made a stupidly strong mix.

Caustic soda saponifies the grease, making it water soluble so it just washes away.Don't get why it doesn't remove grease, ultimately it's a scrubbing motion caused by the hydrogen bubbles.
I just checked the pH of the baking soda and it's showing 14 ! How is that possible? I put my hand in it and my hand is still here?hat would have a pH of 14.3. For electrolysis you only need a tiny amount to make the solution conductive, I've never measured it out but I don't think I use 80g in maybe about 20 litres.
Is that why you get a soapy feeling when it gets on your skin? The feeling is your skin being turned into soap?Loosely speaking, fat (grease) plus caustic soda = soap
