3. Product Overview and Components

Components:

• Drain Channel: The main body of the drain, featuring a deep X-shaped diversion for rapid water flow.
• Removable Grate Cover: The top cover with square perforations, allowing water to pass while preventing large debris.
• Hair Catcher: A removable basket designed to collect hair and small debris, preventing clogs.
• Leveling Feet: Adjustable feet for precise height and slope adjustment during installation.
• Lifting Hook: A small tool provided for easy removal of the grate cover for cleaning and maintenance.

4. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is critical for the optimal performance of your linear shower drain. Consult with a professional plumber or contractor for installation to ensure compliance with all local building and plumbing codes.

Key Installation Considerations:

1. Floor Slope: Unlike traditional center drains, the Elefloom Linear Shower Drain requires the shower floor to be sloped in only one direction towards the drain, simplifying the tiling process.
2. Drain Base Compatibility: This linear shower drain is designed to be fully compatible with standard shower drain bases.
3. Leveling: Utilize the adjustable leveling feet to ensure the drain is perfectly level and at the correct height relative to the finished floor.
4. Waterproofing: Ensure proper waterproofing membranes are installed around the drain area to prevent water penetration.
5. Connection: Securely connect the drain outlet to your plumbing system, ensuring all seals are watertight.

5. Operating Principles

The Elefloom Linear Shower Drain operates passively, relying on gravity and its intelligent design to efficiently remove water from your shower area.

• Fast Drainage: The drain features a deep X-shaped diversion and a high-capacity water storage space, allowing for a rapid flow rate of up to 60 liters per minute. This design minimizes water accumulation and helps keep your bathroom floor dry.
• Deep Shaped "V" Design: The internal V-shaped design of the channel further increases water flow rate and helps eliminate residual water, preventing stagnant water and potential odors.

6. Maintenance

Regular cleaning of your Elefloom Linear Shower Drain is essential to maintain optimal drainage performance and prevent clogs.

Cleaning Procedure:

1. Remove Grate Cover: Use the provided lifting hook to carefully remove the grate cover from the drain channel.
2. Remove Hair Catcher: Lift out the hair catcher basket from the drain channel.
3. Clean Components: Rinse the hair catcher and the underside of the grate cover thoroughly with water to remove accumulated hair and debris. For stubborn residue, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used.
4. Clean Drain Channel: Inspect the drain channel for any debris and rinse it out.
5. Reassemble: Place the clean hair catcher back into the drain channel, then replace the grate cover, ensuring it sits flush.

Frequency: It is recommended to clean the hair catcher every 3 weeks, or more frequently depending on usage and hair accumulation, to prevent clogging and maintain efficient drainage.
