What is a bathroom sluice?

A bathroom sluice is a specialized drainage system designed to remove waste and water from bathrooms, particularly in healthcare settings or facilities where hygiene is a priority. It typically features a floor-level channel that directs wastewater to a sewer or treatment system, helping to prevent flooding and maintain cleanliness. Sluices often include a removable grate for easy cleaning and access. They are essential for managing the hygiene of spaces where bodily fluids may be present.
