What type of appliance is this waste trap for?
This waste trap is specifically designed for washing machines.

The connection size is 30mm. It's recommended to verify this matches your existing plumbing and washing machine hose.
How do I ensure the size is correct if brand sizes vary?
While the product indicates a 30mm size, always measure your existing pipework and washing machine outlet hose to confirm compatibility, as the included size guide image is for general reference only.
How often should I clean the waste trap?
It's advisable to check for debris periodically, especially if you notice slow draining. A thorough clean might be needed every 6-12 months depending on usage and water hardness.
What does the 'water seal' do?
The water seal (created by a small amount of water held in the trap) prevents foul-smelling sewer gases from rising back up through the drain and into your home.

Troubleshooting
Slow draining or blockage
Check the trap for debris. Carefully disassemble accessible parts to clear blockages. Ensure the washing machine hose is not kinked.
Leaking connections
Ensure all connections are tight and properly seated. Check seals and replace if worn or damaged.
Unpleasant odors
The water seal may have evaporated (e.g., if the appliance hasn't been used for a while) or the trap may need cleaning. Run the washing machine briefly to refill the trap, or clean the trap assembly.
