Recently, some newly renovated friends have been asking in the community group, their kitchen, bathroom from time to time there is a peculiar smell, with dredgers and deodorants are not useful what to do? Xiaobian's family has also encountered similar situations, and found that most of the friends around them will also encounter the situation of bathroom odor.
When encountering such a problem, the first thing to determine is whether the sewer is blocked, if there is no blockage, you can judge the odor returned from the building drainage pipe. In this case, the use of deodorants and dredgers not only has no effect, but will corrode the drainage pipe, resulting in the pipe being easier to absorb dirty things.
Why does the stench of the drainage pipe enter the kitchen bathroom so easily? If you want to avoid the family from being invaded by odors, you must not ignore the following problems when designing drainage pipes, such as not paying attention to these places, and changing a single odor-proof floor drain product may not be able to solve the problem of reodorization.
1. The reodorization of the toilet
Usually there are two reasons for the reodorization of the toilet: one is the problem of the toilet itself, mainly the glaze of the toilet, and the good glaze is as smooth as glass and is not easy to absorb scale. In addition, the curved parts of the toilet pipe will also be sprayed with glaze, so that the smooth pipe will not hang dirt and residual bacteria. This process can only be fully achieved by some brands; second, there is a problem with the air insulation between the toilet and the sewer connection, such as the connection with the floor drain and other sanitary ware. If the sewer planning at home is improper, and the toilet drain is connected to the floor drain, the odor of the toilet drain pipe will also be returned through the floor drain. After all, the toilet belongs to the family durable goods, and it is necessary to choose products with good reputation and guarantee, which is beyond reproach. When it comes to how to match and install with other drainage and ventilation products, it is much more complicated.

At present, the design of drainage insulation pipes is usually installed by decoration companies to find some workers to complete, such installations often lack professional hydraulic calculations, ignoring the situation of multiple sanitary appliances draining at the same time, so that the diameter of the selected drainage pipe is too large or too small, due to the unreasonable diameter of the pipe, once multiple appliances are used at the same time, the drainage pipe will produce siphon phenomenon, the water seal will also be pumped off together, and the odor will be unimpeded from the sewer pipe.
2. The reodorization of the floor drain
In addition to the odor of sanitary appliances, the floor drain itself is the focus of inspection as a drainage and ventilation device for the bathroom. According to the principle, the floor drain can be divided into two types, one is a self-sealing floor drain, and the other is a water sealing floor drain. As for which to choose, it should be considered comprehensively. After all, drainage and insulation is a system, and how to effectively match the drainage and insulation products will directly affect whether the entire system operates effectively.
First, let's talk about the self-sealing floor drain. The advantage of this kind of floor drain is that the speed of the water is fast, after all, the water flow is straight up and down, unlike the water seal leakage flow, which is buffered at the water seal for a while. Therefore, when the self-sealing floor drain was first used, the effect was still quite obvious. Of course, its shortcomings are also obvious, once there are foreign bodies such as hairs staying between the sealing core and the nozzle, it cannot be closed tightly. And because of various reasons such as water erosion, once the sealing core is aging over time, magnetic weakening or mechanical failure occurs, and the sealing effect is lost. Therefore, the self-sealing floor drain has high requirements for the quality of the sealing ring, otherwise once the above problems occur, the floor drain will be useless, and the bathroom will naturally reodorize.
Here to help you amway a Geberit anti-odor floor drain, quality originated in Switzerland, can be used with peace of mind.
Geberit gravity induction floor drain, different from the traditional mechanical floor drain, Geberit gravity induction floor drain uses the water flow itself gravity open and close, there is water open, no water closed; Stepless speed regulation, completely sealed, gravity-based, stable performance. It does not seal the floor drain like a spring or magnet, and the elastic force or magnetic force gradually decreases and eventually fails. The unique epdm rubber ring prevents water leakage at the connection with pvc pipes, completely eliminates the hidden danger of water leakage, and can prevent insects and odors.

Geberit multi-channel pooler - it can be connected to the basin sink, the bathtub sink pipe at the same time, the water is left to the multi-channel pool along the drain pipe of the sanitary ware, and the water seal of up to 7.5 cm is uniformly formed in the pool, which can not only ensure the smooth drainage, but also better avoid the leakage of odor through each inlet. It also avoids the phenomenon of siphoning when multiple sanitary appliances are used at the same time.

In addition, the connection between the floor drain and the drain pipe is also very easy to cause the floor drain to reodorize. In Chinese decoration, the pipes are generally connected by glue, and after a long period of use, they will age and lose their stickiness. The connection between the different pipes will be loosened, leaking air and water, resulting in continuous reodorization in the bathroom. Therefore, it is recommended that the pipe connection be fixed with a sealing ring or welded by hot melt to be stable and reliable.
Let's look at the second common floor drain - water sealing floor drain. Mainly the use of water in the water seal to isolate the odor, in fact, and the principle of water storage bend, if there is no water in the water seal, or the height of the water is not enough, it will fail. The water seal specified by the state must reach at least 5cm to truly play the role of drainage and gas insulation. Therefore, it should be noted that if the depth of the pipe allows, it is best to choose a deep water sealing drain, but if it is not well matched, it will cause poor drainage. Especially in the domestic drainage system of the same floor, the bathroom floor drop is only 15cm, and only shallow water can be selected to seal the floor drain, but there is less water storage, which is easy to dry up and deodorize.
Geberit's first jellyfish floor drain for drainage buildings on the same floor, the reason why it is called jellyfish floor drain is because in this product there is a jellyfish-shaped silicone film, when draining the water will be like a jellyfish will open the silicone film, to ensure that the drainage is unobstructed, the end of the drainage will be adsorbed and sealed and effectively isolated from the pipeline. And this floor drainage water seal has a height of 5cm, and the automatic replenishment of the water seal can be completed when it falls. Even if the owner of the household is absent from home for a long time, the jellyfish silicone film of jellyfish floor drain still effectively delays the evaporation of the water seal, keeping the effective water seal inside for up to 150 days. Even if the water seal dries up, the odor-proof diaphragm can block the stench of the pipe from returning to the room.
The HDPE material used in jellyfish floor drains can guarantee the use of floor drains for 50 years. The groove design inside it also subverts the problem that the floor drain of the same layer cannot be maintained. Definitely a terminator to prevent odors, bacteria, and bed bugs from returning from the sewers.
In addition, in this year's Red Dot Award, geberit jellyfish floor drain also won the Red Dot Design Award for its easy replacement, excellent and long-term odor blocking performance.
3. Sinks and basins inlets
Open the bathroom cabinet, we will find a section of corrugated pipe under the basin, some directly to the downsheet pipe, some concave U-shaped pipe. Directly through the pipe of the downspout, because there is no water seal barrier, the odor in the sewer pipe can naturally be released directly through the pipe basin to the bathroom. A better one will have a u-bend water pipe with a water bend, but most families still have a smelly gas even if they have such a water seal, why is this?
Most of the drainage pipes on the market do not meet the standard, and the national standard stipulates that the water seal must reach at least 5cm to effectively isolate the odor. Many new houses are not paid attention to at all when they are accepted, and the decoration company will not care about these details. This is also the reason why we often feel that there is a stink in the basin.

The biggest feature of this water storage bend is that it adopts the form of large pipe sleeve and small pipe to control the water seal, and its water flow will flow down from the top pipe, and then discharge the sewage clean by overflowing upwards, which can avoid the positive and negative pressure on the water seal of the inner wall of the pipeline. In addition, through the diameter of the nozzle, a more ideal air insulation effect is achieved, and the garbage at the bottom can be ensured to bring out the pipe with the water storage bend through the change of the water flow speed. The fixing of the upper and lower seals facilitates disassembly and deep cleaning. It can effectively insulate and self-cleaning. The price is not expensive about 400 yuan, it is worth buying it!
In fact, not only will the bathroom have the problem of reodorization, as long as there is a drainage pipe, there will be.
4. Washing machine, smell inside dishwasher
Washing machines and dishwashers are easy to be ignored in the installation of drainage and ventilation, in general homes, the sewer pipe of the washing machine is thrown directly into a drainage pipe, in a humid environment, bacteria and odors will return to the washing machine to breed a large number of bacteria.
The same is true for dishwashers, because dishwashers will be disinfected at high temperatures, ultraviolet disinfection, many people will use the dishwasher as a locker, and the washed dishes are placed directly inside. However, in daily decoration, the dishwasher is directly connected to the sewer, and there is almost no concept of equipped with drainage and gas insulation products. Well, the bowl placed in the dishwasher is also directly exposed to the reodorization of the downspout pipe. So some people think that the dishwasher-washed dishes will be a little smelly, which is also the reason.
You can understand geberit's washing machine dishwasher water bend, in fact, similar to the principle of basin water bend, through the effective water seal to isolate the odor.
After understanding the reasons for the reodorization of different sanitary ware, I believe that how to solve it is the most concerned problem for everyone.
Drainage and ventilation system,
Water sealing is the most effective in isolating odors
In view of the above problems, it is not difficult for us to find that whether it is the unqualified water storage bend in the air insulation product or the diameter of the drainage pipe, it will affect the height of the effective water seal, and only the effective water seal can isolate bacteria and odors. Therefore, Geberit has designed a series of precision drainage pipes and drainage insulation products according to the science of fluid mechanics through professional hydraulic calculation software, so as to establish an effective drainage and insulation system. With such a perfect floor drain, Geberit has developed a series of water bend products for the use of different sanitary appliances, such as basins, washing machines, dishwashers, etc.
