In fact, the company makes one for tidal outfalls, which can be installed inline with wastop your existing pipes. The patented membrane that comes with the product is especially effective at keeping water and odors out of your pipes.
The Wastop is also well suited to preventing backflow, but the true magic is in the specialized Memory Membrane that is housed inside the valve. This gizmo is what really sets it apart from the competition. The special elastomer material has the ability to maintain its shape while also providing some serious chemical resistance.
