How to protect sewers from women's hair: the best ways

After eliminating another blockage, many decide: enough is enough! It's time to protect your drains from women's hair. In reality, this is not difficult to do. You just need to choose the right protective agent.

Oh, these beautiful women's hair...

Poems and songs are written about the beauty of women's shiny locks. But they evoke wonderful feelings only when they are on the mistress’s head. In fact, they cause many problems in everyday life. A woman loses from 50 to 150 hairs per day. What if they are long? What if there are two women? Trouble, trouble.

Once in the sink or bathtub, the hairs, like a cobweb, entangle the sewer drain. They “catch” all the debris, dirt and grease. Soon the hair network turns into a real “monster” - a fetid lump that prevents the passage of fluid. The water begins to stagnate, and the smells from the sink are far from French.

Let's protect the sewer system, and at the same time our nerves

Sometimes a problem is easier to prevent than to solve. A clogged sewer is exactly that case. As you know, hair is very tenacious and easily tangled. The older and narrower the pipes, the more women in the house, the more often you have to call a plumber. What to do and how to protect the sewer from women's hair?

Option two:

1. Make repairs. If you install new pipes (thick ones) and set the slope, hair will pass through them better and will stop getting stuck. You can also install a siphon with revision. You don't have to disassemble it to clean it.I unscrewed the cap, pulled out the hair - and the blockage was gone.
   
2. Insert a catch device into the drain. The tenacity of hair can play into your hands. It is worth installing a special catcher on the drain hole - and the hairs will immediately entangle it, leaving the pipes clean and unharmed.
   

Cleaning traps is much faster, easier and more convenient than drains.

Overlays and mesh

The most popular, but not the most effective type of female hair catcher. The main advantage is quick installation and easy cleaning. And the metal linings also look presentable.

• Metal trim

• 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.

Give preference to voluminous mesh (convex) with small holes. They allow water to pass through better and hair to pass through worse.

Catchers on a chain

According to reviews, the best way to protect sewers from women’s hair are these linings with a chain:

Thanks to plastic stoppers, the chain effectively collects all the hairs. The device is easy to clean, does not rust for a long time and is easily installed on the drain. Simply drop the chain into the drain hole.

You can make such a catcher yourself. Attach an L-shaped thin wire to the crosshairs on the plum. Take it out and clean it periodically.

Drain cleaning is not for the faint of heart. It's no surprise that many people try to avoid it. Sometimes you wonder where there is so much hair in the sewer? A little more, and it would be possible to make a wig... When trying to solve the problem with hair in the sewer, many men laugh it off. Like, there is no woman - and there are no blockages either. In fact, the solution is much simpler. All you need to do is purchase a hair catcher and insert it into the drain. The asking price is 100–150 rubles. And your pipes will always be clean!
