A siphon is an essential element for your sink. The siphon, also known as a swan neck or water trap, plays a crucial role in preventing unpleasant odours from rising up through the drain. This is achieved because there is always a small amount of water in the bend or bowl of the siphon, preventing sewer odour from escaping. Now that you understand its function, it is time to choose the perfect one. Below, we will help you make this choice. Is the design important to you? As you can see, the designs of the siphons we offer vary. Some are aesthetically pleasing, while others are more functional. Where is the difference? It's actually quite simple: if you place your sink on top of a washbasin cabinet or vanity unit, in most cases the siphon will be hidden inside the cabinet. In this case, you don't need an eye-catching chrome one. However, if you opt for a freestanding sink, with or without a vanity underneath, the siphon will be visible. In this case, you can select a siphon that reflects your aesthetic preferences. Right application It is very important to make sure you choose a siphon that is suitable for the specific application you need it for. For example, if the siphon is to be installed on a basin, select a model that is suitable for it.
