Understanding Sloped Inner Channel Technology
When designing a custom shower, managing water flow efficiently is just as important as the visual finish. The Cahaba linear shower drain utilizes a specialized sloped inner channel that acts much like a funnel on a larger scale, using gravity to actively direct water toward the central outlet rather than letting it pool along flat surfaces. Think of it like a well-designed highway off ramp that gently guides traffic smoothly toward a specific destination. This engineered internal slope ensures that the fast 9 gallon per minute drain rate functions at its absolute peak, keeping your shower floor drier and safer with every single use.
Installation Guide
Ensure the subfloor is properly pre-sloped toward the designated drain location prior to final tile installation.
Verify that the plumbing connection is securely sealed to prevent any under-tile leaks during high-volume testing.
Position the stainless steel channel flush with the surrounding tile surface for a smooth and safe walking transition.
Lift the removable grate periodically to rinse away any soap residue or mineral buildup from the interior channel.
Empty and clean the included basket filter on a regular basis to maintain unobstructed water flow.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinse Rinse the stainless steel surface with clean water after showering to wash away soap and shampoo residue.
Gentle Cleaning Use a soft cloth or sponge along with mild dish soap and warm water for regular weekly cleaning.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Never use bleach, abrasive scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners that can dull the metal finish.
Dry Surface Wipe the drain dry with a microfiber towel occasionally to prevent water spots and maintain the polished look.
Debris Removal Lift out the removable grate and basket filter monthly to clear out trapped hair and small particles.
