GREEN DRAIN™ FAQ
GREEN DRAIN™ lets water rinse the membrane and has no “labyrinth” opposite to normal trap seals that collects dirt, hair and grease.
GREEN DRAIN™ seals 100% and closes for odours and prevents pests and harmful gases from entering the building.

GREEN DRAIN™ replaces a traditional trap seal contributing numerous advantages:
- Improves indoor air quality due to no sewer smell and gases
- Prevents waste water penetration
