Drainage reservation for a sweeping robot must follow the core principles of giving priority to floor drains, lowering the height of wall drains below the sewage outlet, and reserving enough space. Specifically, the height of the drain outlet must not exceed 30cm (different requirements for different models), and when sharing a drain pipe with a floor drain or washing machine, an anti-odor tee must be installed, as well as ensuring that the cabinet size reserves flexibility and access channels.
Drainage method selection
Floor drain drainage priority: Direct access to the floor drain can prevent sewage backflow and is easy to install.
Wall drain restrictions: If a wall drain is used, the center of the drain outlet must be ≤30cm from the ground (required by models such as Ecovacs), and some models such as Stone recommend ≤15cm, otherwise ground drainage must be used instead.
Key size and location requirements
Drain outlet height:
General standard: wall drain height ≤50cm, optimal 30cm; floor drain drainage has no height limit.
Model differences: Ultra-thin models such as Dreamie S10PU allow ≤80cm.
Space reservation:
Leave 5cm of pipe space behind the cabinet and 70cm in front for the robot to enter and exit.
Leave 15cm of space under the cabinet door to ensure passage.
Installation optimization suggestions
Shared drainage solution: When sharing the drainage with a washing machine or sink, use an anti-odor three-way accessory (provided with some models).
Flexible adaptation:
Before determining the model, reserve space based on a base station height of 85cm and a width of 55cm.
The automatic water supply and drainage version can reduce the height to 60cm, but it is recommended to reserve 90cm to accommodate most models.
