The floor drain is not good, knock on the bricks and do it again!
In a word, a good floor drain should drain fast enough, be able to prevent insects, odor and backfill, prevent blockage, disassemble and clean easily, have a refreshing and tidy appearance, and have a high appearance.
And how much do you know about floor drains?
Is it good to buy a floor drain, the merchant said that it is good, and the decoration company asked what brand it was, but it did not ask about the material of the floor drain, the type of sewer and other issues.
First of all, we need to understand that there are several major points that need to be asked when choosing a floor drain:
Material, water speed, odor and insect resistance, cleanability.
Excellent floor drain standard.
Meets filtration, odor and insect repellent (basic requirements).
Anti-backfilling. Drain fast enough. More important than a floor drain is the slope of drainage.
Easy to clean up. (The inner core, filter screen, and panel should be cleaned regularly).
The sound of launching into the water is quiet. (Does not affect the outdoors).
The metal mask is not easy to cut people (the edges are chamfered and rounded).
Other factors: high appearance, high cost performance, etc.
Then we have to understand what types of floor drains are and what are the characteristics of each class
In this way, it will not be confused when the merchant introduces it to you, and whether it is suitable for the balcony or bathroom to use yourself can also have a number in your heart!
Floor drains are mainly divided into water-sealed floor drains and self-sealing floor drains.
The difference between a water seal and a self-sealing floor drain is:
The principle of water-sealed floor drain: Uses the discharged water to form a barrier against odor and insects.
Because of the U-shaped shape, there is a trap, and the drainage speed is relatively slow. However, the anti-odor effect is good, as long as there is stored water, the anti-odor effect can be guaranteed, but if the water in the water seal is dry, it will be anti-odor.
Self-sealing floor drain principle: Open and drain when there is water, close and prevent odor and insect backflow when there is no water.
At present, the common self-sealing floor drains on the market include flap floor drains, spring floor drains, magnet floor drains, float floor drains, etc.
Summary: The water-sealed floor drain has a good anti-odor effect in the case of commonly used water, but the drainage is relatively slowAlthough the self-sealing floor drain drains quickly, it needs to prevent the failure of mechanical devices.
Types and characteristics of floor drains
Spring-loaded floor drainWhen the gravity of the water on the gasket exceeds the spring elastic force, the gasket opens and drains automatically.
Advantages: The effect of anti-odor and insect control is better.
Disadvantages: The sealing performance will deteriorate after long-term use, and the elasticity will also change, and it needs to be replaced every few years.
Magnetic floor drain: When the gravity of the water is greater than the electromagnetic force between the magnets, the gasket opens and drains automatically.
Advantages: It is also good for anti-odor and insect resistance, and it is cost-effective.
Disadvantages: Some iron impurities are easy to adsorb on the magnet, and long-term use will cause the closed ring to be unable to close, and it will not be effective.
Gravity floor drain: Rely on gravity to seal the leak, when there is water through, the leak is opened by the water, and closed when there is no water.
Advantages: simple structure, easy maintenance and replacement, this type of water is fast, suitable for showers and washing machines, which are scenes of large water volume in an instant.
Disadvantages: The airtightness is easy to be destroyed and cannot be completely closed, and the odor prevention performance is not good.
Water-sealed floor drain: There are shallow water and deep water types. The interior is stored with N-shaped pipe or U-shaped pipe to play the role of insect and odor prevention.
Shallow water enclosed floor drain
The principle of insect prevention and odor prevention is no problem, the filtration effect is acceptable, and the installation height requirement is low.
The actual use of water storage is small, easy to dry up, resulting in no odor prevention, can not prevent backfilling.
The water is slow to drain, easy to accumulate dirt, and it is difficult to clean.
Shallow water enclosed floor drain
Deep-water enclosed floor drain.
Good anti-odor and insect effect, good filtration effect (with filter).
The water is launched at a medium rate and does not prevent backfilling.
The installation height is required to be high (generally above 12cm).
Deep-water enclosed floor drain.
material of the floor drain
There are mainly copper, alloy, stainless steel, and plastic. In contrast: copper >> 304 stainless steel >> ordinary alloy.
Copper floor drain: ** relatively high, the surface is easy to scratch, after chrome plating and wire drawing treatment is more beautiful and high-end, the feel texture is corrosion-resistant, and the durability is very good.
Copper floor drain. Stainless steel floor drain: A good stainless steel floor drain is made of 304 stainless steel, which is not easy to rust and has good durability, but the texture is poor, and it is high.
Stainless steel floor drain.
Alloy floor drain: zinc alloy and aluminum alloy are the main materials, ** low, the surface coating of the main body is easy to be damaged, and the material is easy to be corroded and aged to fail.
Alloy floor drain. ABS engineering plastic floor drain: will not rust and corrode, cost-effective, as long as it is not soaked in high-temperature water for a long time, the use time is longer.
Plastic floor drains. Core material selection
The inner core is also available in all copper, alloy, 304 stainless steel, as well as ABS plastic and silicone.
If it is a U-shaped floor drain or spring floor drain, it is best to use all-copper or stainless steel, as the alloy is more likely to rust.
If it is a magnetic floor drain, in addition to all-copper and stainless steel, ABS plastic can also be used, which is mainly the best advantage.
If it is a gravity flap, it is more suitable to use ABS plastic, which is light and makes the airtightness better and is also corrosion-resistant.
How to choose floor drains in different spaces at home?
See**Use: The floor drain of the shower room bathtub is not the same as the floor drain of the washing machine.
Because the bathroom often uses water and has a large drainage area, the water seal floor drain is relatively safe and not easy to fail, so it should be noted that the shallow water seal is not installed, but the deep water seal floor drain.
Balcony washing machines and kitchens use less water and are generally used for temporary drainage, suitable for installing self-sealing floor drains.
Attention needs to be paid to the installation of floor drains:
1.The floor drain needs to be installed inside the door, otherwise the water will flow out of the door.
2.The floor drain should be installed at the junction of four tiles, do not choose the middle of a tile, otherwise it is easy to accumulate water.
3.Before installing the floor drain, the floor drain core should be taken out to avoid debris falling into the inside of the floor drain core, causing damage or blockage.
If the above methods are ineffective, it is recommended to use professional dredging methods such as pipeline dredging agents and dredging devices.
My family used to encounter sewer and floor drain blockages, and later a friend recommended and bought this pipe dredging agent, which fundamentally eliminated the blockage.
Pipeline dredging agent is a better product for sewage pipeline dredging at present: dredging hair, water solubility, shredded paper scraps, etc. are particularly effective, and are widely used in restaurants, restaurants, restaurants, kitchen washing basins, floor drain deodorization, basins, bathtubs, toilets, etc.
How to do it: Pour 50-100 g of water from the washbasin or bathroom into the drain, and if there is no water, add a glass of cold water. At this moment, everyone was cheering. After twenty minutes, all the drinking water was cleaned.
With a professional dredging agent, it is also convenient and quick to operate. Unclog sewers, deodorize, and maintain pipes without touching your hands, just pour them into the drain pipe.
The pipeline dredging agent is formulated with active oxygen biological enzyme and processed into high-purity spherical particles. It can quickly and flexibly reach the blockage site and dissolve various foreign substances quickly and effectively.
Household waste includes hair, sebum, vegetable scraps, paper scraps, etc. The principle of biological enzymes is to convert solid substances into liquids such as amino acids, glucose, fatty acids, glycerol, etc., which are quickly excreted from the body and cleared of blockages.
We simulated the most difficult blockages with meat, hair and vegetables, and after 20 minutes everything was gone.
With it, there will be no more hair clogging floor drains and food clogging pools, never again!
This dredging agent not only clears blockages, but also cleans the walls of pipes. Aerobic biological enzymes are extremely soluble and can quickly remove residual stains from pipe walls with powerful detergents.
After using this pipeline, many people will sigh that there is such technology in this world!
Now I can't do without it, the sink in the kitchen is always clogged and smelly. After using it, I haven't picked it up with my hands again, it's clean and hygienic, and now there is no smell at all.
His reaction was quick, and as soon as he poured in, it bubbled, and after a while, it was quickly cleared.
In the future, you will no longer have to worry about clogged toilets, even throwing away the tools to clean the toilet
It's easy to operate, but the effect is obvious!
It can dredge the pipes, deodorize, and the large bottle is cost-effective, praise!
This year's most popular pipe dredging agent, **plug it through**, pipe cleaning is easy!
After many efforts, I finally got the manufacturer's discount, the original price of 109 yuan of pipeline dredging agent, now only 69 yuan!
