How to drain the shower room quickly How to drain the shower room quickly

We all know that the shower room is a common area in the bathroom. Many people install shower rooms in their homes, so that the dry and wet areas can be separated and the bathroom will not be so humid. The decoration design of the shower room is also very particular, and it is necessary to do a good job of waterproofing and drainage. So how can the shower room drain quickly? Let's take a closer look!

How to drain the shower room quickly

1. Organize drainage well. It is best to have an independent floor drain for the shower room. You can set up a water guide trough, and set grooves around the shower room floor when laying it, and set the slope of the grooves.

Install a floor drain in the trough, and make the floor drain a rectangular floor drain, T-shaped, or remove the water seal. Because the floor drain generally has a water trap, if it is used frequently, there will be no odor.

You can also consider invisible floor drains, which are more beautiful.

2. When paving the shower floor, make grooves in the tiles to prevent slipping and facilitate drainage.

3. If the decoration is already completed, a sauna board can be placed in the shower area.

The drainage of the shower room depends on the slope of the ground to organize the drainage, and the smoothness of the floor drain and the drainage pipe. If these two aspects are done well, the drainage will be fast.

The ground slope is large, the water flow is fast, the floor drain is smooth and not easy to be blocked. You can also replace the thicker drainage pipe. Or if you build your own house, you can ask someone to make a siphon downpipe.

How to quickly drain the shower room

In order to avoid water accumulation in the shower room during use, you should consider how to ensure rapid drainage during decoration.

Choice of floor drain

The water in the shower room is discharged through the floor drain, and the drainage speed of different types of floor drains will also be different. The more common floor drains on the market are mainly U-shaped water bend floor drains, T-shaped floor drains and plumb-type floor drains. The main feature of the U-shaped water bend floor drain is that a part of the discharged water is intercepted through the water bend as a partition between the indoor and sewer space. It has a good anti-odor and anti-insect effect, but due to the existence of the water bend, the drainage speed will be somewhat lacking. When draining, the T-shaped floor drain and the plumb-type floor drain use the gravity of the water flow to flush the cover of the floor drain to complete the drainage. When the cover is open, it goes directly to the sewer, so the drainage is smoother. Therefore, bathrooms with drainage problems should give priority to T-shaped floor drains or plumb-type floor drains.

Drainage slope treatment

As the saying goes, water flows to the lower place. If you want the water on the ground to drain to the floor drain, you must first ensure that the ground has a slope towards the floor drain, so that the accumulated water can flow to the floor drain by itself. The national standard requires that the drainage slope of the bathroom floor to the floor drain position is 2% to 3%. If you want faster drainage, you can also increase the slope a little, but it should not affect the use. If you use tiles on the floor, it is best to choose a small size. The more common size of bathroom tiles is 30*30cm, or smaller mosaic tiles. Because the bathroom is generally small in area, if you use large tiles and have to make a slope, the construction requirements are relatively high. Moreover, the larger the size of the tile, the more likely it is to be uneven, and there may be potholes and water accumulation areas after laying.

The selection of floor drains and drainage slope treatment mentioned above are the most basic requirements for ensuring drainage when decorating a bathroom. However, sometimes the requirement for fast drainage cannot be met. For example, in order to have a better shower experience, some people will choose a shower head with a large water output. This may result in the shower head water output being greater than the floor drain drainage, which will cause water accumulation on the floor. At this time, you can consider "caching" the water to be drained.

1. For example, you can make grooves in the ground and install long strip floor drains. Compared with ordinary square or round floor drains, this long strip floor drain has a large water collection area due to the grooves in the ground. The water that cannot be discharged from the ground in time will be temporarily "buffered" in the sink and then slowly discharged. This avoids the situation where water on the ground affects the use. At the same time, due to the relatively large area of ​​the grille, it is not easy to be blocked by foreign objects such as hair.

2. Another method that has become popular in recent years is to raise the middle floor of the bathroom with tiles or stones, arrange drainage grooves around it, and then install the floor drain in the drainage grooves. This method has the same effect as the strip floor drain in speeding up drainage, both of which increase the "cache" for drainage, but this method of grooving around the edges has a larger "cache". In addition, in order to prevent water accumulation, the middle raised position is generally designed with criss-crossing thin drainage grooves, which not only facilitates drainage but also has the purpose of anti-slip and aesthetics.

3. Laying sauna boards in the shower room is a more advanced approach than opening drainage grooves around the shower room. Do not raise the middle position, make the entire shower room sunken, and raise the sauna board and lay it on the ground. In this way, the ground under the entire sauna board becomes a drainage groove, which naturally drains water faster.

Finally, to sum up, in order to drain the water from the shower room quickly, the first thing to do during decoration is to choose the floor drain and handle the drainage slope. Secondly, if you want to achieve a better drainage effect, you can also choose to use strip floor drains, grooves around the ground, or install sauna boards.

Design of quick drainage in shower room

The ground method is very simple, reserve drainage grooves and find a good slope. The main thing is the choice of floor drains and the laying of drainage pipes.

① After using for a long time, the check valves of many odor-proof floor drains will be covered with dirt, and water will not go down or the check valve will not bounce back. So you must not choose a floor drain for cheapness.

② The vertical and horizontal drainage pipes are connected by elbows or return bends. The speed of drainage depends on the position of the elbow.

If the pipeline is changed on the floor, the elbow will naturally remain on the floor, which will cause the vertical drainage pipe to be too short. This is okay if the water flow is small, but the drainage effect will be affected if the water flow is large.

If the elbow is set under the floor, that is, the ceiling of your downstairs bathroom, the vertical drainage distance will be large, which is conducive to the drainage effect.
