Slow drainage or blockage
Check for obstructions in the trap. Disassemble the siphon trap, clean out any debris, and reassemble. Flush with hot water.
Unpleasant odors from the drain
The trap may not have enough water. Ensure the siphon is filled with water after use. Clean the siphon trap to remove any accumulated waste that may be causing odors.
Siphon does not fit the drain pipe
