Shower sewer filter

[bennyzamir]

Hi all

I am looking for shower sewer filter that can be blocked and unblocked instantly.
Any idea?

We will need a littler better explanation than what you have already.

I mean to this drain

When you mean blocked, you mean like a valve. Why would you want to cut your drain off?

Or are u talking about something that operates like a tub drain?

 

[bennyzamir]

Yes
Something like that.

I want to block the cockroaches

Do you have access to the trap? I do not believe this is acceptable by code (no body has ever asked for that) but you could put a valterra blade valve in if you have access to the drain below the shower. I think they do come in PVC but they are normally ABS.

Also a trap seal may work but I'm not sure it is rated for roaches. You arn't in AZ by chance are you. That was a problem when I lived in Phoenix.

I was just thinking a trap seal

How about just laying a flat drain seal over the drain when not using it.

Thanks for your answer

But it would be great to find mechanism that open the valve when there is water from the shower and it closes when there is no water.

I think the roaches will pass it

The trap seal may be a good option. It slips into the body of the drain. It's meant to replace trap primers. It only opens when water is running down the drain. It prevents water from evaporating in the trap. This will be your least difficult option.

This is the best answer
Thanks
