This invention relates to a device for destroying bacteria which accumulates in drainage pipes and the like. Previously, no device has been provided which will destroy bacteria which accumulates in drainage pipes. This invention provides a housing (5, 58) provided in the S-bend of a drainage pipe and includes a heating element (32, 34, 68) which causes water and bacteria which gathers in the housing (5, 58) to boil to destroy bacteria. Heat is also transferred to the drainage pipe to destroy any bacteria which gathers on the side of the pipe. The invention may also include a timer (80) to supply power to the heating means (32, 34, 68) for a desired amount of time and also may include an automatic actuator (62) which causes the timer (80) to supply power to the heating means (32, 34, 68) when water and/or contaminated matter passes down the drainage pipe. |
