Freeflow wastes are useful for preventing sinks from overflowing and flooding, especially in basins without an overflow. They are also low maintenance because they don't have moving parts and are always open. Freeflow wastes are ideal for public bathrooms and are recommended for places like pubs, clubs, and public toilets where taps are often left on by accident.
Click-clack wastes are ideal for sinks that need to be filled with water for shaving or beauty routines and are more common in household settings.
