Coffee machine, you’ll typically need to hook it up to a **sanitary drain** rather than a sewer drain. Here’s why and how:
### **Sanitary Drain vs. Sewer Drain**
– **Sanitary Drain**: This is a type of drain that connects to the building’s plumbing system and is designed for handling wastewater from sinks, dishwashers, and coffee machines. It ensures that wastewater is treated properly before being released into the sewer system.
– **Sewer Drain**: This usually refers to the main drain system that carries wastewater from various sanitary drains to the municipal sewer system. It is not typically where individual appliances are connected directly.
### **Why Sanitary Drain?**
1. **Appropriate Waste Management**: Coffee machines produce wastewater that needs to be handled properly to avoid blockages and potential contamination. A sanitary drain is designed to manage this type of waste.
2. **Regulatory Compliance**: In many regions, regulations require appliances like coffee machines to be connected to sanitary drainage systems to ensure proper waste treatment and prevent contamination.
3. **Preventing Blockages**: Sanitary drains are designed to handle the type of waste produced by coffee machines, which can include coffee grounds and other residues. Sewer drains are not suited for this and may become clogged if used for such purposes.
