    Any experience on waterless trap waste water for a bathroom sink?
    I need to install a vanity unit under the basin and I need space for the drawers.
    Is is this a good solution?

    I have seen these used alot in spain and they don't seem to last long, the wall thickness of the flexible section is really thin and they seem to leak after only a couple of years and need replacement. I would suggest going to a good plumbing suppliers and see can you get a 90 Deg bend , pipe , another 90 and a proper hepvo trap, would a solution like that suit you

    Probably hepvo trap will work as well.
    Do you think they are better quality?

    I have one of the flexi tubes , in a vanity unit. Happy enough with it. One small issue is when you open the drawer, items in the drawer might snag against the tube. Easily solved , dont store "tall" items near the tube
