Description

Pour-and-Forget Plumbing Odour Barrier Liquid for Floor Drains, Grease Traps, and Lift Stations

Product Overview

Sewer gas escaping from floor drains, grease traps, and lift stations creates health complaints and costly service calls. Chemfax Floater is a drain odour barrier that solves the problem in seconds. Pour the thick, citrus-scented liquid into any drain, and it forms a floating drain seal on top of the water. The barrier blocks odours continuously until flushed, with no tools or plumber required.

Key Features and Benefits

  • The thick liquid sits on the water surface because its relative density is 0.914, lighter than water. This creates a physical drain odour barrier that traps sewer gas and prevents odours from rising through the drain.
  • A citrus scent replaces foul sewer smells at the source. The liquid does not mask odours with fragrance alone; it blocks them with a floating layer and leaves a clean citrus aroma around the drain area.
  • Mechanical trap primers require plumbing connections, moving parts, and regular servicing. Chemfax Floater works as a trap primer alternative: one pour seals the trap with no installation and no ongoing maintenance.
  • All ingredients are non-hazardous and readily biodegradable. The NFPA rating is 0/0/0 (health, flammability, reactivity), and the product is not controlled under WHMIS.
  • Application takes seconds with no dilution needed. Pour directly into the drain to create a 5 cm thick barrier, with no mixing, no special equipment, and no PPE required under normal conditions.
  • One product handles floor drain odour control in commercial buildings, restaurants, industrial plants, and municipal lift stations. It also works in waterless urinals, plumbing lines, and grease traps.

Applications

Chemfax Floater handles drain odour problems across a wide range of settings. Pour it into any water-filled opening where sewer gas or foul smells escape:

  • Floor drains in commercial kitchens, warehouses, manufacturing plants, hospitals, and institutional buildings
  • Grease traps and interceptors in restaurants and food-service operations
  • Lift stations, wet wells, and collection system sumps in municipal wastewater systems
  • Waterless urinals in offices, schools, arenas, and public washrooms
  • Plumbing lines in seasonal properties, vacation homes, and unoccupied buildings where traps dry out

Chemfax Floater is the best floor drain odour control for commercial buildings because one pour seals the trap until the next heavy flow event. For facility managers handling multiple drains across a building, this drain odour barrier cuts service calls and eliminates repeat complaints without plumbing work.

How to Use

  1. Fill the trap with water if it has dried out. The liquid needs a water surface to float on.
  2. Pour Chemfax Floater directly into the drain opening until 5 cm (2 in.) A thick layer covers the water surface.
  3. Larger drains, lift stations, and wet wells need more product. Increase volume until the floating drain seal covers the full surface area.
  4. The barrier remains effective until heavy water flow flushes it through. Reapply after significant drainage events or when the citrus scent fades.

No dilution, no mixing, and no special equipment required. One bottle of this plumbing odour barrier liquid treats multiple standard floor drains.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a drain odour barrier work?

A drain odour barrier works by floating on the water inside the trap. The liquid layer forms a physical seal that sewer gas cannot pass through, so odours stay below the surface instead of escaping into the building.

How do you stop sewer smell from floor drains?

Pour this drain odour barrier into the drain after adding water to fill the trap. The liquid floats on the surface, blocks sewer gas, and leaves a citrus scent. Reapply when the scent fades.

Should I use a drain odour barrier or a trap primer?

When comparing a drain odour barrier vs trap primer, the barrier wins on cost and simplicity. A primer needs a plumbing connection and periodic servicing. Chemfax Floater takes seconds to apply, with no installation and no moving parts.

What is a floating drain seal liquid?

A floating drain seal liquid is a product with density lower than water. When poured into a drain, it sits on the water surface and blocks vapours from rising. No plumbing work required.
