City learns about drain maintenance

More and more cities are learning about the importance of drain line maintenance that Drain-Net promotes.  Check out this excerpt from the Borneo Post:

“Kitchen sinks at eateries here should be fitted with effective trappers or strainers to prevent food waste, including grease, from entering and eventually blocking drains, sewer lines and waterways.

“Grease, oil and fat as well as food residues can build up and harden over time. It will block the entire pipeline and drainage, leading to leakages of water, odour and contamination,” he told reporters during a community clean-up programme at Harmony Gateway near Carpenter Street here yesterday.

The activity involved some 20 students of SMK St Mary who were accompanied by their teachers.

“It is on arduous task for our men to constantly clean all the drains in this city,” he said.”

The Floor Drain Brush Comparison: Drain-Net vs. Carlisle Flo-Pac

Are you looking for a brush to clean your food preparation and walk-in cooler floor drains?  Until now your only option was the Carlisle Flo-Pac® Floor Drain Brush.  Thankfully, we have developed an alternative drain brush which has fixed many of the issues people have had with the Carlisle model.

Carlisle Drain Brush Problem: Can’t clean curved piping.
Drain-Net Brush Solutions: Made of durable twist wire to provide strength and “bendability” to clean curved piping.  Also features a poly ball on the end to guide smoothly through elbow turns in drain pipes.

Carlisle Drain Brush Problem: The brush head falls off, getting stuck in the drain
Drain-Net Brush Solutions: The brush head and handle are one unit so the brush head can’t fall off.

Carlisle Drain Brush Problem: While cleaning the drain, nasty drain junk splashes on you
Drain-Net Brush Solutions: Splash guard covers drain while cleaning so you stay clean!

Carlisle Drain Brush Problem: You have to buy different brush head for each drain size.

Top 10 Benefits for Preventative Plumbing at Your Restaurant

We realize that the idea of preventative plumbing is not always common place in the foodservice industry.  Many people have grown use to “reacting” to plumbing problems when they occur and just count it as a cost of doing business.  We are on a mission to change this approach.  Sometimes restaurant managers tell us “I see the benefit of your products, but I’m not sure the restaurant owner will want me to spend the money on an unfamiliar product.”  To help convince those doubters, we are providing you with a list of the Top Ten Benefits for Preventative Plumbing:

1. Fewer plumbing expenses because preventing drain clogs also mean less calls to a plumber for emergency repairs and drain line jetting.

2.  Prevent wet floors which are a common cause for slip and fall accidents. Restaurant owners decrease their liability and increase employee safety.

3.  Reduced risk of expensive repairs to piping and sewer lines which can result when bags, rags, large seeds, and other solid waste clog grease traps and pipes.

4.  Increase efficiency of grease trap do to reduced debris.

5. Lower risk to city fines for violating wastewater discharge compliance standards

6.  Reduce or eliminate drain flies which are attracted to the “gross stuff” that builds up in drains when not maintained.

7.  Increased employee productivity when they don’t have to handle flooded floors and emergency drain backups.

8.  Decreased frequency of grease trap servicing/pumping due to reduced solid waste in grease trap.

9.  Eliminate the need for chemical pipe cleaners which can be very harmful to the environment and dangerous for employees to handle.

10.  Reduce or eliminate repulsive odors that can occur when debris builds up inside of drain lines.
