Floor drain classification and advantages and disadvantages

Floor drain is an important interface between the drainage pipeline system and the indoor ground. As an important part of the drainage system in the residence, its performance directly affects the quality of indoor air and is very important to the odor control in the bathroom. Next, the classification, advantages and disadvantages of your floor drain.

Traditional water seal floor drain

Advantages: cheap, widely used in the products brought by wool embryo house builders.

Disadvantages: poor self-cleaning ability, easy blockage, difficult cleaning and slow drainage speed.

Eccentric block type lower flap floor drain

Advantages: cheap and easy to produce.

Disadvantages: (1) the gasket is a mechanical structure and is not tightly closed; (2) The pin is easy to be damaged; (3) The flap is easy to jam and does not reset, which basically can not solve the problem of odor return.

Spring floor drain

Advantages: the anti odor effect is good before the spring fails.

Disadvantages: (1) the spring is made of ferroboron, which is easy to rust after long-term contact with sewage, resulting in weakened elasticity, failure and short service life; (2) The spring is easy to wind the hair, which affects the rebound of the gasket; (3) The gasket is a mechanical structure and is not tightly closed. It needs to be cleaned or replaced frequently, otherwise it will not have the effect of anti odor at all.

Magnet floor drain

Advantages: the plastic core can be processed into different types.

Disadvantages: (1) due to the poor quality of ground sewage, such as washing articles, brushing the ground and other reasons, some iron impurities will be adsorbed on the magnet. After a period of time, the impurity layer will cause the sealing gasket to fail to close and fail to play the role of odor prevention; (2) The magnetic force will gradually weaken and disappear, affecting the up and down opening and closing of the gasket, which is easy to fail.

Gravity floor drain

Advantages: the integrated filter screen is not easy to lose.

Disadvantages: (1) there are spiral mechanical parts inside the floor drain core, which will rust or deposit sediment when working in sewage for a long time, hinder the up and down movement of buoyancy ball, and affect drainage, odor prevention and bacteria prevention; (2) The sealing cover plate will also deposit hair and sediment, resulting in loose sealing, affecting odor and bacteria prevention.

Silica gel floor drain

Advantages: silica gel has good aging resistance and good elasticity, good deodorizing performance and fast drainage.

Disadvantages: the mechanical opening and closing of silica gel is not perfect under normal circumstances.

New water sealed floor drain

Advantages: it will not be damaged after long-term use. Without mechanical principle, the effect is good.

Disadvantages: the cost of stainless steel core is high.
