Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a Mydrain shower drain outdoors?
For outdoor use, remove the removable siphon from the Mydrain shower drain to prevent frost damage. Always provide a central collector pit with an underground odor trap. Removing the siphon increases flow capacity, making Mydrain suitable for terraces and outdoor showers. Thanks to the low installation height and high drainage capacity, reliable operation remains guaranteed.
How (often) should I clean my Mydrain shower drain?
A Mydrain shower drain requires minimal maintenance. The patented water trap prevents odors and catches hair and debris before they reach the drainpipe. When water drains less smoothly, you can easily remove the grate, rinse the siphon and reinstall it. Thanks to the smart lift system, this is done without tools and without breaking work.
Why does Mydrain combine plastic and metal?
Mydrain combines an ABS body with a stainless-steel grate. The inox grate is wear-resistant and impact-resistant, while the ABS body ensures silent operation, optimal drainage and easy installation. ABS requires no grounding, has no weld seams and prevents resonant noise during showering.
Which Mydrain model should I choose?
Choosing the right model depends on your floor finish and the desired design. Mydrain S is a visible, minimalist shower drain for modern bathrooms. Secret Line is a tileable drain that virtually disappears into the floor. Micro Line was developed for microcement, epoxy and poured floors, creating a seamless finish.
What is a PVD coating?
PVD stands for Physical Vapor Deposition and is a high-end coating technique that produces highly scratch-resistant and durable metal finishes. Mydrain uses this technique on inox grates to combine a luxurious brushed look with long service life. PVD finishes are easy to maintain and retain their color for years.
Help, my grate is damaged!
A damaged Mydrain grate can be replaced easily without breaking work. The grate rests loosely on the body and can be removed after loosening the silicone joint. Replacement grates are available separately so your shower can look perfect again quickly.
