How to choose a floor drain？

First, the choice of floor drain material
Floor drains on the market, there are generally three materials, copper, stainless steel, and aluminum alloy, the best of which is full copper material, corrosion resistance, not easy to rust and deformation, the only drawback is that some expensive.
The second is stainless steel material, will be cheaper than all-copper, the same is not easy to rust and deformation, but the problem is that it is easy to scratch or corrosion fading, affecting the visual perception.
The worst of these three is aluminum alloy, in addition to the price is cheap, the performance are not as good as the above two, for the floor drain such as a long time practical things, do not recommend buying it.

Second, each area of the floor drain type selection
Each area of the home floor drain type selection, also different, here is a simple and everyone said a few points.
First of all, the kitchen floor drain (excluding the bathroom), the floor drain here is not too high frequency of use, only occasional drainage use, so it is not recommended to choose the water seal, T-type or pop-up floor drain, the most suitable for this space.
Secondly, the bathroom floor drain, is also the highest frequency of practical places, here it is recommended that we give priority to the drainage capacity and odor resistance, it is best to choose U-type water seals of the floor drain (deep water seals), anti-insects and anti-odor; of course, the popularity of the kind of long strips of floor drains in the last few years, can also be used in the bathroom, to increase the amount of drainage.
Then talk about the floor drain needed for the washing machine, here generally consider the drainage speed on the line, it is recommended that you buy T-type floor drain, pay attention to the inner core of the drainage speed can be.

Third, the inner core type of knowledge
Several types of inner core are:
① weight open and close inner core, a little cheap, fast drainage speed, the disadvantage is poor sealing and the bottom of the flap is easy to get stuck
② T-type floor drain is now used more of a kind, drainage speed, anti-odor and pest control are good, most of them are using spring stretching, magnet adsorption way to play a sealing role, so it is very test spring quality.
③ Side-opening core drainage speed and sealing effect are also one of the best, but due to the use of magnet adsorption, after a long time of use with impurities, the sealing will be greatly reduced.
Silicone core is also very suitable as a washing machine floor drain, cheap and fast drainage speed, easy to clean, but the sealing is general.
⑤ Deep water seal floor drain, is the best anti-odor effect of the floor drain, but the water will be slightly slower.
⑥ magnetic levitation core, basically relying on the principle of magnetic repulsion, sealing and drainage, excellent indicators, but very expensive.
Above is about the floor drain selection of some basic knowledge, we do not have to understand too much, just need to remember what space, choose the relative type of floor drain can be, things to use, is the most important thing to pay attention to when choosing the floor drain.
