Do you have problems with kids losing things in the bathroom drain? Ever lost jewelry down the drain? Worse yet, were you not sure and went through the process of removing the trap just to find that the lost item actually was misplaced elsewhere? Or do you have problems with constant clogs? I ran across the PermaFLOW trap from PF WaterWorks as a possible solution. This is a clear plastic trap with an external knob that can be turned to dislodge clogs.
They are also marketing this as a “green” solution as it should reduce the need for corrosive chemicals when dealing with a clogged drain. The design is such that they say it improves flow, thus the “self-cleaning” designation. The cost appears to run around $40, plus installation. We have not tried one yet, but I have a few clients that I will be giving the suggestion.
