Practicon 7078726 GT-43 Gleco Sediment Trap System, Shape,, ()

This is a MUST HAVE for any one who is concerned for sediment collecting in their pipes. This works great for collecting clay or any sediment really. if you are any type of artist or crafter or anyone who has to wash items in the sink and you are worried about clogging the pipes then you need this. This collects all the sediment. great for potters because the clay can clog your sink and back up the pipes; this solves that issue. it was easy to install. it is easy to empty. it comes with two containers so you can replace the one while you clean the other. these are reusable so you just have an extra one at all times. you can see on the container when its full and you just empty.

I have a home pottery studio, so dealing with clay is a daily business. I would always worry that I was going to clog our garage sink with clay from my cleanup, even when taking precautions like cleaning inside a bucket (to catch the larger particles). So, I installed this Gleco trap, replacing the existing U trap. Installation was a bit tricky on my sink, I didn't have the exact setup shown in the instructions. It would have been super easy to install if I had, but three trips to Home Depot later I was able to get it installed. Now I still use a bucket when cleaning my clay tools, but now I don't have to worry about clogging the drain if some clay sneaks out. I also clean my glazing tools directly in the sink. I can see the sediment collecting at the bottom of the attached bottle, so it is definitely working. And swapping out the bottles is pretty easy. Dedicated clay sinks can cost almost a thousand bucks, so this is a much better alternative that saves you a lot of money and headache.

I needed the Gleco trap as I do pottery and use a bucket in my utility sink for washing clay tools, etc. Some clay always still get down the drain. So I have wanted a trap for a long time. Initially I was worried that I would have to do a lot of fitting as my drain was not out the back wall, as shown in Gleco trap diagrams and picture. My drain was in front down through the floor. All the pvc pieces for the old drain were glued and fitted to the old configuration. However when I put all the Gleco pieces together everything fit without having to cut any of old fitted pvc or adding any additional pieces. Setup worked and had no leaks. First time in a long time that a did a simple plumbing job and did not have to call a plumber. Still use the bucket in the sink to catch to big pieces, then dump bucket outside.

It started leaking within a few weeks of use causing me to have place a pan under it.

Used to stop clay sediment from clogging my drainage pipes in my clay studio. Works very well. Installation required some extra PCP PIECES as my plumbing setup was not standard. But, it was an easy fix. I am very pleased with the results.

The product was difficult to install without major changes to existing drain apparatus. I needed several extra pieces from the local hardware store. At the end of the day the jar (both jars) leak when in use. Teflon tape mitigated but did not eliminate the leak. Seller wants you to buy more jars so the ones they give you are very poorly (i.e. cheaply) made.

Great device - I had one in my previous studio. Was able to install one in a spare bathroom, so I can rinse clay residue safely from tools and buckets.

Ridiculously expensive for a few pieces of plastic. Also a true pain in the neck to empty because the design is not very good. It does work. Unfortunately it's pretty much the only game in town if you don't want to spend $400 on something which is much better but unfortunately four times as expensive.

This Gleco Trap has everything you need to install. I did have to pick up some inexpensive extra parts at the hardware store because my basement sink has an interesting setup. I will be using this for my home pottery studio and it is going to be well used. I like that it comes with a spare bottle so you can change it when needed.

Use this filter, really saves my drains, but much smaller than my last four capacity of containers

Works exactly as expected and helps keep the system clean by effectively capturing debris. The build quality feels solid and installation was straightforward. A dependable solution for maintaining proper filtration and performance.

Once it fills with water it slips off the fitting. Had a professional plumber install it and it's still slipping I do not recommend this product. Cheap plastic, loose and poor fittings. Does not work.
