Sometimes the hair build clusters that reach far in the drain pipe, but the starting point is always an obstacle under the cover or inside the trap.<\/li>\n<li>By the use of Freilauf, the general amount of hair in the drain system increases not much. Other drains don\u2019t catch all the hair. A clean conventional drain lets pass up to 90% of the hair. This number decreases with the amount of hair that collects. Besides that, shower and washbasin are not the only source of hair. A lot of hair end up in the drain system via washing machine, and toilet\n<\/li>\n<p>The washing machine puts a lot of hair in the drain, it is connected directly to the pipe, without any obstacles. No one ever heard of pipes plugged by hair out<\/p>\n<li>Most people take the hair out of the shower and throw them into the toilet.

Problems may only occur if somebody worked with iron and carries iron particles in the shower. Iron particles will stick to the magnets and larger amounts of iron particles in the drain may cause the cover to not stand strait any more. But the magnets are arranged in a way that the force of the upper magnet in the cover is a little stronger compared to its counterpart in the base. So, ferromagnetic particles stick to the cover and can easily be removed.<br \/>\nHowever, rust is a very good colourant. Therefore, over time rust stains will appear down in the drain, where the magnets are located.\u00a0 This is no defect in the product.<br \/>\nBy the way, rust stains can be removed by putting some coke or vinegar in the drain and letting it sit a few hours.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-leodi3t6-4167f941666838fd4c7500925e5d0792'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p data-fake-id='#toggle-id-5' class='toggler   '  itemprop=\"name\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-5'>Do the magnets lose force over the years?<br \/>\n<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-5' class='toggle_wrap  '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>No, modern neodymium-magnets have a constant magnetic force for several thousand years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-leodik14-0012c0de9caaa2203b98757e482aaf4b'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p data-fake-id='#toggle-id-6' class='toggler   '  itemprop=\"name\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-6'>Is the material resistant to chemicals?<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-6' class='toggle_wrap  '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>We use ABS, a plastic that is used in the fields of sanitary and wastewater for decades, it proved to be resistant to all common chemicals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_3'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-1205'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1205","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>FAQ - Freilauf GmbH &amp; Co.
