Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A universal multi-port floor drain cover that allows multiple hoses to feed into a single drain without splashing.
  2. A custom 3D-printed adapter plate that fits over standard floor drain grates to securely hold multiple hose ends.
  3. A modular drainage manifold system designed for basement floor drains to consolidate HVAC and dehumidifier runoff.
