Designing spaces such as bathrooms or kitchens in the basement of villas is a choice made by many villa owners nowadays. However, this brings along the issue of odor from basement drainage. For traditional drainage, we use the method of "one pit, two pumps", which involves digging a pit in the basement and placing two submersible sewage pumps inside. However, the biggest problem with this drainage method is the severe odor, making it unsuitable for household basement drainage.
Another relatively popular approach nowadays is to use drainage equipment such as sewage lift pumps or sewage lift pump stations. One advantage is that the fully enclosed tank is cleaner and more hygienic, which, of course, applies to external pumps. However, over time, we have found that there can still be issues with odor emissions. This is because sewage lift pumps typically use a vent pipe installed inside the tank to ensure normal operation of the machine. However, most small pumps simply place activated carbon at the vent port, and if it is not replaced over time, odor issues will persist. This method allows the air inside the lift pump tank to constantly come into contact with indoor air. Another reason for replacing lift pumps is that if the vent pipe is not pre-buried in advance, the foul air inside the lift pump tank cannot be discharged outside, and activated carbon is still the only solution. Most of the odor issues in basement drainage are due to this reason.
If we fall into the above situation, to solve the problem of odor in basement drainage, a magnetic power odor-proof valve can actually do the job, this magnetic power odor-proof valve utilizes advanced magnetic technology to automatically close the airflow in the drainage pipe, preventing the odor from the sewer from backflowing into the room. Its working principle is very simple. When water flows through, the valve opens due to the pressure difference, allowing water to pass through; when the water flow stops, the valve automatically closes, blocking the passage of odor.
Installing this odor-proof valve can not only solve the odor problem in the basement, but also enhance the comfort and hygiene conditions of the living environment. It is a long-term effective solution that does not require frequent maintenance and replacement. In addition, the design of the magnetic power odor-proof valve is usually very compact and easy to install, without causing any damage to the existing drainage system.
