Select the floor drain method:

1. Look at the material, the material composition is stainless steel, copper, iron, etc.;

2. Looking at the anti-odor effect, there are mainly two types of floor drains: water-sealed type and self-sealing type;

3. Look at the anti-blocking effect, for debris and hair, see if it can play an anti-blocking effect;

4. Look at the speed of water flow and the speed of drainage;

5. Look at the installation location, the installation environment is different, and the effect in the bathroom and kitchen is different.

1. Material

Materials are the basic properties of floor drain composition. There are many materials for floor drains. Generally speaking, cast iron and PVC materials are of lower grade, so there are fewer users. Aluminum alloys are gradually eliminated by the market because they are less resistant to corrosion. Cast copper is more beautiful and looks more high-end, but the price is also higher than other materials. Especially the hand feel is heavier, thick and feels very good. At present, the mainstream on the market is stainless steel. It has good corrosion resistance and the price is also relatively beautiful, so it has the highest market share.

Second, the anti-odor effect

In terms of odor prevention, floor drains mainly have two types: water-sealed type and self-sealing type. The bottom of the water-sealed floor drain is usually curved, and if the water flow is large when draining, the drain of the outer pipe will be unobstructed by gravity. When not drained, the odor of the sewer pipe will be effectively isolated by the water retained in the pipe, which has the effect of preventing insects and odors. The closed drain of the self-sealing floor drain is different, and can be divided into three types: spring type, gravity type and magnet type. Its openings rely on the gravity of the spring, the water and the magnetic force of the magnet. Among the three, gravity floor drain has the characteristics of poor sealing and odor insulation ability, while magnet floor drain is the opposite, its drainage speed is fast, the sealing is good, the odor prevention ability is strong, especially the particularity of its structure, the service life will be longer than others, but because of its characteristics, there will be problems of adsorbing iron impurities in actual use.

Third, the anti-blocking effect

Floor drains are installed in different locations, usually in kitchens and toilets, which are spaces where there is water on the floor. The common point of these spaces is that in daily life, there will be some debris and garbage mixed in the water through the floor drain to the pipeline, so if the floor drain is not blocked, it is easy to be blocked by these debris, resulting in water siltation. Especially in the bathroom, if there are people with bad hair in the family, then the hair that falls off during the bath can easily block the floor drain.
