Self Cleaning Syphon

PVC is the most used material to make siphons. This project aims to improve its functionality by making a part of it in flexible PVC. When a siphon is blocked, you have to contact a plumber to fix it. When you try to fix it yourself, it is very common that the siphon leaks afterwards. We have tried to improve the functionality by replacing the lower part of it by a flexible PVC tube, in a way that a non professional can easily unblock it by squeezing the tube. The gain is both on time and cost. It is also possible to prevent blocking by regular squeezing, since this is a clean, quick and easy job.

PVC and Nature

nominee

PVC and Nature is a concept seeking to merge recycled PVC with plants in our daily environment, in parks, greenhouses, public spaces, verandas… PVC is the major support for these creations, using different forms and colors to integrate the creative item into the environment and make it appear less industrial.
