After eliminating another blockage, many decide: stop! It's time to protect the sewer from women's hair. In fact, this is not difficult. It is only necessary to choose a suitable protective agent.
Oh, that beautiful female hair ...
About the beauty of brilliant female ringlets compose verses and songs. But they evoke wonderful feelings only by being on the head of the hostess. In fact, a lot of problems arise from them in everyday life. A woman loses 50 to 150 hairs a day. And if they are long? And if there are two women? Trouble is trouble.
Once in the sink or bath, the hairs, like a cobweb, entangle sewage. They "catch" all the garbage, dirt and grease. Soon, the hair network turns into a real "monster" - an offensive lump that impedes the passage of fluid. The water begins to stagnate, and from the sink it blows far from French flavors.
Defend the sewer, and at the same time our nerves
Sometimes a problem is easier to prevent than to solve. A sewage blockage is exactly the case. As you know, hair has great tenacity and is easily tangled. The pipes are older and narrower, the more women in the house, the more often you have to call plumbing. What to do and how to protect the sewer from women's hair?
There are two options:
- Make repairs. If you put new pipes (thick), set the slope, the hair will better pass through them and stop getting stuck. You can also install a siphon with revision. You do not have to disassemble it for cleaning. He unscrewed the cap, pulled out his hair - and the blockage was gone.
- Insert the catching device into the drain. The tenacity of the hair can play into the arm. It is worth installing a special catcher on the drain hole - and the hair will immediately entangle it, leaving the pipes clean and unharmed.
Cleaning traps is much faster, easier and more convenient than sewers.
Lining and mesh
The most popular, but not the most effective type of catchers of female hair. The main advantage is quick installation and easy cleaning. And metal plates also look presentable.
- Metal overlay
- Silicone mesh
The disadvantage of such catchers is the poor throughput of not only hair but also water. If you are used to using high pressure, the pad is unlikely to suit you.
Prefer volumetric meshes (convex) with small holes. They pass water better and worse hair.
Chain Catchers
According to reviews, the best way to protect the sewer from women's hair are such overlays with a chain:
Thanks to plastic limiters, the chain effectively collects all the hairs on itself. The appliance is easy to clean, does not rust for a long time and is easily installed on the drain. Just lower the chain into the drain hole.
You can make such a catcher yourself. Attach a L-shaped thin wire to the crosshair on the sink. Remove and clean it periodically.
Will Mole help get rid of hair in the sewers?
Yes, if the hair is not very much. The mole and its analogues dissolve the dirt on the hairball, which makes it more supple, softer and easily goes down the pipe. The tool can be used to prevent blockage once a month. But installing a trap will be more efficient and safer for the environment.
How often do you need to clean the trap?
The more often, the better. Hair tends to accumulate dirt and compact quickly. Over time, removing them from the trap becomes more difficult. Try to clean the fixture after each use of the sink and bath.
Sewer cleaning is not a procedure for the faint of heart. It is not surprising that many seek to avoid it. Sometimes you wonder why there is so much hair in the sewer? A little more, and one could make a wig ... Trying to solve the problem with hair in the sewers, many men laugh it off. Like, there is no woman - and no blockages either. In fact, the solution is much simpler. It is enough to purchase and insert a hair catcher into the drain. The price of the issue is 100-150 rubles. And your pipes will always be clean!
