Irish hotels operate twelve months a year — but occupancy doesn't. Mid-week rooms sit empty for days. Off-peak floors get rotated out of service. Every unused P-trap dries out. The next guest checks in, opens the bathroom door, and smells sewage. That TripAdvisor review lasts forever. Green Drain solves it in 30 seconds per trap.
From Dublin city-centre business hotels to Wild Atlantic Way resorts and Lakelands country properties — Irish hotels stay open year-round, but rooms cycle in and out of use constantly. Corporate travel slows after autumn. Mid-week occupancy drops in shoulder season. Floors rotate out of service for maintenance. Every empty room means a P-trap evaporating dry — and the first guest to walk in after smells the sewer.
According to Failte Ireland and Tourism Ireland, Irish tourism in 2024 welcomed approximately 6.6 million overseas visitors generating an estimated €6 billion in overseas tourism revenue. Ireland operates a significant hotel estate within the Failte Ireland quality framework — including Dalata Hotel Group's Clayton and Maldron brands as Ireland's largest hotel operator, plus Radisson, IHG and Marriott portfolios — all working to the same Failte Ireland quality standards.

Irish hotels run continuous PPM and refurbishment cycles. Green Drain installation takes 30 seconds per drain — an entire property in one day with a small crew, no plumber, no downtime.
Technician maps all the P-traps, takes measurements, and photographs.
Property-specific quote — initial fit plus annual inventory.
Pilot in five rooms — the front desk logs odour complaints before and after.
One day of coordinated work with the maintenance team — no room out of service.
Irish hotel construction: 3-star and 4-star properties typically have DN50 in rooms (GD 2), while 5-star and premium boutique hotels often have DN65 (GD 2.5) for deeper P-traps. Food & beverage, wellness, and technical areas use larger sizes. Hotel complexes with self-catering lodges and apartments need a mix of specifications.
Five years under normal use. Visual inspection once a year as part of standard PPM — no scheduled removal, no replacement during the lifespan.
Ideal use case. Glamping pods, lodges and self-catering units use standard 2″ P-traps — the GD 2 fits, stays in place, and protects through every changeover gap, no matter how long the unit sits empty between guests.
Absolutely. Short-let units that sit empty between bookings have the exact same dry-trap problem. Hosts using Booking.com, Airbnb and Sykes Cottages appreciate the absence of "smelly bathroom" reviews — the single most damaging review type for hospitality SEO.
Green Drain™ doesn't work alone — for maximum drain control it's combined with GD Uri-Tabs™ (urinals) and GreenSwirl™ (biofilm bio-cleaning).
Patented silicone P-trap seal for all drains in rooms, bathrooms, and wellness centers. With no water in the P-trap, there's no route for H₂S and E. coli into the guest's room.
Bio-enzyme tablets for all urinals in the lobby, wellness, and F&B facilities. Eliminates urinal scale and odor — fewer guest complaints, less drop in return on investment due to poor reviews.
Bio-cleaning of kitchen and wellness drains. It breaks down biofilm deeper in the system — an additional layer of protection for the food and beverage segment of the facility.
We come to the site, map the drains, and provide a written recommendation—no cost, no obligation.
