PermaFLOW is the World’s First Self Cleaning ‘GREEN’ Drain System (P-Trap Replacement) with patented SELFCleanTM feature that creates flow turbulence, minimizes deposition, breaks and propels debris and cleans itself thereby not allowing the sinks to get clogged. PermaFLOW is also equipped with patented EZCleanTM feature that helps clean the potential clog build-up easily without the hassles of using plumbing snakes, plungers, opening P-Trap and/or the use of harmful drain cleaning chemicals by using an external knob with a spindle and wiper inside for clean-up.

PermaFLOW is the heart of the Drain Management System which gives the property owner or maintenance company control of the drainage system. Due to its unique ability to clean-up without the need to use Chemical Drain Cleaners, PermaFLOW is 'Green by DesignTM' and helps reduce the nasty effects of chemicals, both to the environment and the property owner. Additionally, Permaflow works very well with High Efficiency Faucets with low flow rates. PermaFLOW therefore adds significant GREEN Value to the property.

PermaFLOW is designed and manufactured in the USA and has been tested under extreme high traffic environments. PermaFLOW has been tested by IAPMO based on standard IGC 225-06 and has been certified to comply with Uniform Plumbing Code for US and Canada as well as the International Plumbing Code and International Residential Code’. It is aesthetically designed and is built using transparent premium quality ABS Plastic. It is therefore much superior in finishing and longevity and provides a clear view in order to retrieve lost valuables. Unlike brass and chrome P-Traps, PermaFLOW is corrosion resistant. It is easy to self install and comes with standard connections that fit existing plumbing.

PermaFLOW is environmentally friendly, promotes safety, reduces lost time, cost of ownership/maintenance and promotes self sufficiency while maintaining cleaner chemical free homes.

Why Install PermaFLOW ?
Almost everyone has experienced or heard of the inconvenience of a blocked drain. The problem often occurs in the part of the drainage system known as P-Trap. The P-Trap is a necessary component of the drainage system to provide a water seal between the fixture and the drainage collection system to prevent the escape of unhealthy sewer gases.

If it has not already occurred (which is unlikely) – sooner or later the conventional P-Trap will clog the sink drain and will result in frustration, time wastage and costs. The cost of getting the clog/blockage cleared could vary from time invested to use the plunger, plumbing snake, opening p-traps to additional costs incurred in using drain cleaning chemicals and/or calling a plumber. (Typically, this unexpected, unpleasant process will occur during family visits for the holidays or while the neighbor friends gather during a backyard BBQ).

PermaFLOW eliminates the need to use nasty drain cleaners thereby making the residential and commercial property maintenance chemical free and improving the health of the personnel and their families. Significant costs are also incurred over time due to the damage that the drain cleaning chemicals cause to the plumbing and drain pipes. Additionally, using drain cleaning chemicals results in contamination of the water system which costs the community and society significant amount of money in treatment costs.

PermaFLOW has the potential to eliminate all of the above at a fraction of the cost and therefore is ideal to install as soon as possible to avoid future frustration and costs as well as keep environment clean. PermaFLOW also works very well with the environmentally friendly Low Flow Rate Faucets thereby conserving water significantly.

PermaFLOW provides several unique features to prevent or eliminate this inconvenient and costly problem.

PermaFLOW is GREEN! PermaFLOW has a positive impact in the following LEED categories.

1) Water Use Reduction/Innovative Waste Water Technologies - High efficiency low flow faucets will reduce the efficiency of the drain system by reducing the drain water's solids carrying ability and cause more plugging. Furthermore, motion controlled faucets turn off quickly and do not allow waste to be evacuated from the drain system. Some wastes in the static condition promote bacterial or fungal growth in the trap and piping. PermaFLOW is a companion product to the high efficiency faucets by giving the user a method to inspect and maintain their drainage system before a problem occurs.

2) Indoor Chemical and Pollutant Source Control - a) PermaFLOW eliminates the need for the use of drain cleaning chemicals, thus removing the hazards of the gasses produced, eliminates poison source in the home, eliminates corrosion to piping, as well as the other harmful effects created by the chemicals. Because chemicals are no longer required, the quality of grey water is not compromised and the chemicals do not find their way to waste water treatment centers. b) In most cases, a blockage in the trap area can be removed without the need to remove the trap from the system, thus preventing sewer gasses from entering the room.

Environmental Performance:

PermaFLOW will not need to be replaced which will reduce the amount of landfill refuse. The components of PermaFLOW are fully recyclable to reduce landfill volume. PermaFLOW gives the owner the opportunity to provide continuous maintenance of their drain system. With proper operation, large pieces of debris should not be sent downstream (which would be caused by a plumbers snake) to cause further plugging problem

System Performance:

Since PermaFLOW will eliminate the need for chemicals, corrosion to existing piping is eliminated.
