Summary of the principles, advantages and disadvantages of the four commonly used floor drains

T-Magnet Floor Drain

Also called a suction magnet floor drain, it is a self-sealing floor drain that utilizes gravity and magnetism to control the floor drain switch for drainage. The structure is similar to the spring type, which is sealed with the magnetic force of two magnets suction gasket. When the water pressure is greater than the magnetic force, the gasket opens downward to drain, the end of the drainage, the water pressure decreases, and when it is less than the magnetic force, the magnet block suction, the gasket pulls upward.

Advantages:

its T-shaped structure coupled with the smooth inner wall determines that this floor drain is extremely difficult to clog, especially the clogging of hair and other things, all things will be discharged.

Disadvantages:

However, because the T-type magnet floor drain contains magnets, so if there are iron objects in the water, they will be adsorbed, resulting in difficulties in closing the floor drain, and with time, the magnet’s suction will decrease, resulting in the floor drain malfunctioning.

Spring Loaded Floor Drain

Spring floor drain is also a kind of self-sealing floor drain, are utilized by the gravity of water to open and close, drainage. The principle is to use the spring to stretch the sealing core at the lower end of the gasket to seal, when there is no water or less water in the leak, the gasket is stretched upward by the spring to close the pipeline; when the water in the leak reaches a certain height and the gravity of the water exceeds the spring elasticity, the spring is pressed by the water downward, and the gasket opens to drain the water automatically.

 Advantages:

fast drainage. 

Disadvantages:

easy to be corroded, elasticity with the use of will weaken, life is not long, and easy to hang, winding hair, fabric, not easy to clean. Position: generally used in the washbasin, because of the characteristics of fast drainage, so it is suitable for some infrequent drainage, or temporary drainage of places, such as the kitchen, balcony, and washing machines and other places that require rapid drainage.

Bucket Seal Floor Drain

Bucket water seal floor drain is a traditional floor drain, is also a relatively early type of floor drain, in the early rough housing and rental housing in the more widely used. Now it has been basically eliminated.

Advantages:

fast drainage, cheap. 

Disadvantages:

can not effectively prevent odor, easy to clog slow drainage.  Position: ordinary sewers available, but not washing machines, etc., need to buy other special floor drain. And this kind of floor drain has basically can’t be used now.

Deep Water Seal Floor Drain

Deep water seal floor drain is a kind of traditional floor drain. Utilizing the balance between the gravity of the water flow itself and the float inside the floor drain, the sealing cover is opened and closed automatically. This model is similar to the spring type, just convert the elastic force into buoyancy driven mechanical tension. This kind of floor drain will originally in the ground anti-odor device set to the downpipe, effectively achieve the effect of anti-odor. Now the deep water seal floor drain is most widely used.

Advantages:

cheaper, and the water seal does not fail when the anti-odor effect is good, due to the deep water seal, can effectively organize the cockroaches from the sewer into the bathroom, suitable for the high requirements of the anti-odor bathroom.

Disadvantages:

the ground needs to be padded, and slow drainage, very easy to clog, can only be used in the ground height requirements are not high and infrequent use of the place where the sewer. 

Location: bathroom, bathroom, not suitable for application in the washing machine and other fast drainage place.
