FLOOR DRAIN CLOSED DRAINAGE SYSTEMS

A Closed Drainage System is a plumbing mechanism designed to collect and transport liquid waste while minimising odours and preventing gases from entering the washroom. It consists of sealed pipes that channel waste directly into the sewer system and are commonly used in floor drains, shower drains and sink drains.

This approach complements other hygiene-focused solutions such as waterless urinal technology and smart washrooms.

Our patented range of Closed Drainage Systems use our one-way valve technology meaning the sewer can effectively be closed off from the washroom environment with a physical barrier as opposed to a liquid seal that is susceptible to evaporation and siphonage, a common cause of persistent floor drain odour within commercial washrooms.

Yes, maintenance is essential to ensure optimal functionality. Periodic inspections, cleaning of traps, and preventive measures such as clearing blockages are necessary to keep the system operating efficiently. We would also recommend replacing the one-way valve once per annum to ensure all remains clean and odour free across bathroom drain and floor drain applications.

By containing and directing waste effectively, the Closed Drainage System minimises the potential for odours and the spread of harmful bacteria, creating a cleaner and more hygienic washroom environment. Additionally, its design prevents the release of gases that can compromise indoor air quality.

Water seal drainage systems rely on liquid traps to block sewer gases, which can be affected by evaporation, pressure changes, and siphonage, often leading to odours in commercial washrooms. Closed drainage systems use a physical barrier, such as a one-way valve, to seal the sewer from the washroom environment, helping prevent odours and maintain hygiene in high-use areas such as floor drains, shower drains, and sink drains. These are not susceptible to evaporation or siphonage.
