Differences between rain drainage systems

Conventional Rain DrainageSystem

  • null
    The number of drains is excessive.
  • null
    More vertical main lines.
  • null
    Pipes must be installed at an angle.
  • null
    Pipes are larger in diameter (due to air mixing)
  • null
    Ground excavation is more.

Siphonic Rain Drainage System

  • null
    Fewer Drain installations
  • null
    Fewer vertical main lines.
  • null
    Horizontal lines do not require slope
  • null
    Pipes are smaller diameter
  • null
    Less excavation work underground
  • null
    The lines are self-cleaning due to the vacuum created

One of the most important benefits of the siphonic system is that it allows the system to be laid more flexibly (with different flooring routes) up to the floor, reducing the space required to accommodate horizontal pipelines. The high suction power of the siphonic system reduces pipe diameters and the number of vertical lines compared to the conventional system. This reduces system cost. Another advantage of the siphonic system is that the drainage can be taken at the end of the building and virtually eliminates the need for almost all underfloor drainage. Also, in a proper siphonic system, the pipe diameters must be carefully balanced to change the pipe diameters to ensure maximum suction of the strainer.
