Deep watertight floor drains are recommended for areas where water is commonly used, such as shower areas. Since the shower area is often infested with water, it is safer to use a watertight floor drain in these areas. Shower drainage is certainly not as powerful as laundry drainage, so a deep watertight floor drain will suffice.
The principle of odor protection
Floor drains in old buildings are usually old-fashioned watertight floor drains, which are particularly susceptible to odor. Now technology has advanced, there is a new type of watertight floor leaks. The principle of the water seal floor leak is very simple, is through a U-shaped water storage bend, water to seal the odor. The national standard for water seal floor leakage is the water seal shall not be less than 5cm, it is the use of water in the water seal to isolate the sewer odor, because the water seal is deeper, the anti-odor effect is better. Therefore, shallow water seal floor drain is not very useful, deep water seal floor drain to achieve good odor prevention effect. The following is a deep water seal floor drain:
The inner core of the water seal relies on the water stored in the core to block the return of odor, if the water in the core evaporates, then the anti-odor effect fails, so the bathroom dry area floor drain, kitchen floor drain, balcony floor drain and other infrequent use of the drain is not suitable for installing the water seal floor leaks. Watertight floor leaks usually need to clean the inner core often, otherwise the hair impurities accumulate to affect the speed of water. Watertight core used in the shower area can prevent odor but can not prevent insects, breeding in the pipeline can still crawl out of the small insects. But now the new deep water seal floor leaks usually can store water for two months.
Features:
1, the drainage speed is general, can not prevent backflow.
2, deep water seal floor drain longer not used or used in dry areas, the water in the water seal as long as the evaporation of water, anti-bug and anti-odor function will be ineffective, so it is more suitable for installation in the shower area.
3、Dirty water stored in the water seal is easy to produce odor, breeding bacteria, need to be cleaned often.
4, the overall height of the deep water seal floor drain increases, requiring a higher installation height (more than 12cm), when purchasing the floor drain to determine whether the depth of the drain can be installed to lengthen the deep water seal floor drain.
5. The water seal anti-odor floor drain has gravity movement, constant stability and long service life. 6. The water-seal anti-odor floor drain is safely sealed, preventing the phenomenon of returning water and odor into the room, and ensuring fresh indoor air.
