Hello,

the drain in our shower is already starting to weaken, we have only been living in the house for 15 months. We have a shower channel from Geberit. The cover is regularly removed and some hairs always get caught on these black plastic spikes. However, I fear that too much is passing by and now clogging the pipe. I have now ordered professional stuff (PEIP F drain cleaner) to fix it. Hopefully it works!

Is there an additional hair strainer that can be used for shower channels? I haven't really found anything about that. I would like to prevent this in the future.

Thanks and best regards

Yes, there are e.g. from ACO (Showerdrain E). For their strainer, you also need the appropriate odor trap. You insert this together with the strainer into the drain.

Professional drain stuff is rubbish. Amateur drain stuff too. And not exactly ecological. Better to use a pressure blaster or one of those spirals if possible. It only takes a minute. Costs about as much as drain cleaner to purchase (around 8 euros). I have long hair and know the problem. That's why I deliberately chose a "normal" drain so I can occasionally just pump with the drain plunger. Done.

Apparently that is also possible, I have heard. But how, I do not know either.

I would pull a nylon stocking over the cover. Done.
