Hello,

I’m new here and found this forum while looking for a solution to my sink problem.

So, here is my issue right away.....

We bought an IKEA sink. Now I have the problem that the water drains very poorly. Our plumber said it’s because of the IKEA siphons and that there is no solution for it.

Now I hope someone here can help me, because it’s really unpleasant and annoying when the water doesn’t drain properly. 😕

Best regards

The siphon from IKEA is not very popular for "plumbing"!

I have installed several and all have worked without any problems.

Well, I have noticed that.
I have installed several and they all work without any problems.

That’s good to hear, but it doesn’t help me at all. Could it be because of that flat part directly at the sink drain?

Could you please upload a photo of the installed trap?

More specific information, such as the sink model, could also be helpful.
Do you urinate in the sink, or why is it unpleasant when the "water" drains slowly?

No

it is probably due to the flexible hose, which must not sag, and the siphon must have a proper slope!!!
