More Details

Requirements
* Kitchen Sinks - Minimum 165mm (6.5") deep
* Bathroom Basins - Minimum 127mm (5") deep

Any bath/sink/basin measuring less than the depths above will be unsuitable for the Magiplug.

Diameter
* The Magiplug fits a large majority of plug holes but will not fit extra large plug holes with a diameter of 50mm or more.

Method Of Use

How Magiplug works
* When an unattended sink/basin reaches a certain depth the Magiplug pressure plate opens and releases the excess water down the plughole, preventing a flood. This level is then maintained until the taps are turned off.
* Changes colour at 36 degrees C to help prevent scalding

Considerations

There are three models in the range in the UK, but after testing, only the sink and the basin models have been found to be suitable for use with Australian plug holes.

Standards

Standards
Some assistive technology needs to meet Australian or other standards. Standards may relate to materials, manufacturing and installation. Products that meet Australian or international standards will have written certification. To find out if a product meets Australian Standards ask the supplier to show you the certificate. For more information about standards also see

TGA
Many of the items on the Assistive Technology Australia website are categorised as a Medical Device. Medical devices that are approved for use in Australia have been entered into a national database called the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), which is maintained by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). You can ask the supplier for the ARTG number for the device you wish to purchase and search the ARTG for the entry. To access information on the ARTG visit www.tga.gov.au

When buying a medical device it is advisable to only choose a medical device that is recommended by a healthcare professional and has been included on the ARTG.
