The PermaFLOW Never Clog Drain is a unique device that prevents clogs by allowing the homeowner to twist a dial to move the clog through the pipes. Itโs designed to help easily remove the drain buildup before it becomes a problem and removes the need for plungers, drain cleaners, and of course disassembly of the drain. The shape of the PermaFLOW Self Cleaning Drain is designed to increases turbulence which helps reduce the continuous and typical buildup of dirt and debris, preventing blocked drains.
How the PermaFlow Works
When the drain eventually becomes clogged, the PermaFlow Never Clog Drainย has a wiper mechanism that cleans the trap.ย Turning the dial to the three oโclock wiper position provides an emergency bypass option for water flow through the upper chamber, thereby reducing downtime. The PermaFLOW Drain works with standard size drains in both kitchen and bath sinks (1-1/2โณ pipes). It can easily replace new or existing P-traps.
The PermaFlow Never Clog Drain is clear, so you can actually see the dirt buildup as it occurs. The only negative, of course, is that you also get to share in the wonderful slime and muck build-up as it occurs. With that said, the system allows for a constant water flow; thus, the issues commonly associated with traditional stagnant traps are reduced or eliminated. We like the Rescue mode, where you set the trap so that anything lost within can be easily removed from the pipe. Thereโs no telling how well it works with hair that tends to tangle around just about anything.
Still, the system offers several modes for suctioning and surging water to remove even stubborn debris. Itโs certainly an innovative product, and we want to support and encourage anything that proves to be adventurous and meets a potential need. This system seems more applicable for problematic commercial use than for the home. In either case, it may save time and energy for persons who have repeated problems with clogged traps and drains.
PermaFlow Never Clog Drain Benefits
- Saves Moneyย โ Unlike the common P-trap, PermaFLOW prevents clog build-up and eliminates the cumbersome work of โclean-outโ traps as well as the need for secondary maintenance products and processes such as dangerous drain cleaners, frustrating plunging, drain disassembly, and snaking.
- Safe, Environment Friendlyย โ PermaFLOW safely ends the need for hazardous drain-cleaning chemicals and the associated personal safety and environmental issues. Opening the drain is no longer necessary, reducing the hazards of exposure to sewer gases.
- Reduces Downtimeย โ PermaFLOW is transparent for quick diagnosis of potential problems. Turning the dial to the three oโclock wiper position provides an emergency bypass option for water flow through the upper chamber. The dial turns an internal wiper to remove any build-up and provides an emergency bypass for continuous flow through the upper chamber, thereby reducing downtime.
- Supports Water Conservationย โ With the focus on water conservation and increased use of low-flow rate faucets, PermaFLOW facilitates efficient removal of stagnant debris in the trap area. Since these chemicals are no longer required, gray water pollution is reduced and it is available for recycling.
- Assists with Easy Retrieval of Itemsย โ Accidentally dropped items (jewelry, toys, coffee stirs etc) can be easily seen and removed. The dial helps retrieve accidentally dropped jewelry through the sink from the nine oโclock wiper position.
