DryDrain® – Reduces odors & bacteria from dried-out water traps

After a long period of testing, Xodor AB has decided to invest in a new product, DryDrain®, which removes odors and reduces the risk of spreading bacteria and viruses from dry floor drains but also from other sources such as washbasins, etc. DryDrain® is a passive solution that also delays the drying out of the floor drain and makes it easier to clean the floor drain. DryDrain® is designed so that the function of the floor drain and washbasins is not negatively affected when used. When the water trap dries out, the room comes into contact with the sewage network and there is a risk of spreading diseases between, for example, apartments. In 2003, the WHO confirmed that an outbreak of SARS was caused by dried-out floor drains, more diseases have been confirmed to have spread from dried-out water traps – See report from the National Library of Medicine Drainage systems, a clogged source of sanitation-related outbreaks – PMC (nih.gov) National Library of Medicine  Drainage systems, an occluded source of sanitation related outbreaks – PMC (nih.gov)

“Drainage systems and its maintenance, if neglected, could pose a threat in both community and healthcare causing infections as well as emergence of multi-resistant bacteria that could cause unpredictable clinical manifestations.”   Blom K.
