The bathroom sink and bathtub are usually connected to the same water supply, but they may have different drain lines. The sink typically has a P-trap, which is a U-shaped pipe that holds water to prevent sewer gases from entering the home. The bathtub may or may not have a P-trap, depending on the design of the plumbing.
Most tub and sink drains are the same size. The exception is some older homes where the tub drain may be 1/2 inch instead of the more common 3/4 inch.
If your bathtub drain is clogged, you may be able to use Dawn dish soap to unclog it. First, Boil a pot of water and pour it down the drain. Then, add 1/2 cup of Dawn dish soap and let it sit for 15 minutes. Finally, run hot water down the drain to flush it out.
A strainer is a device that is placed over the drain in a sink to catch food particles and other debris so that it does not clog the drain. A tub strainer is a strainer that is placed over the drain in a tub. It is important to note that a tub strainer is different from a sink strainer and should not be used in a sink. A tub strainer is designed to catch hair and other debris that can clog a tub drain.

The TubShroom is a vast improvement over our previous bathtub strainer, which kept clogging and letting dirty water fill the tub. All the hairs are caught by the TubShroom while still allowing a lot of water to drain. It fit perfectly in our bathtub thanks to the several adapters that are included. Simply pick it up and remove all the hairs off to clean it. It is advisable to clean it while it is still wet because they frequently become stuck when it dries. You don't need to clean it as frequently because of the design, which allows lots of water to pass even when there is a lot of hair stuck in it. Additionally, it hides all of that unattractive hair. I regret not purchasing this sooner!

When I initially learned about this product, I must admit that I had some reservations. I decided to buy it after hearing multiple recommendations from friends (and needed to find another remedy for the hair clogs).We have three women in the house, two with short hair and one with long hair, in addition to several visits from family members each month, many of whom have longer hair. A medium-haired dog who does get washed in the shower, too, oh yeah.While I waited for this drain cleaner to arrive, I tried three different drain catchers. None could endure and were, quite frankly, unpleasant to wipe out.The printed instructions on the box instructed me to remove the metal catcher and insert the Shroom. At first, it appeared odd jutting out a bit (the papers warn you this is normal), and my mother assumed I had lost a huge button in the shower (top view). The initial shower went off without a hitch. Instead of standing in a pool of your own dirty bathwater, the water was able to drain correctly, and the hair dropped into the catcher without accumulating on the top (so it was not visible to one taking a shower). When I was finished, I assumed it hadn't worked because all of the hair had drained; little did I realize, however, that it was draining into the spool. In fact, every hair that had fallen was caught and was incredibly easy to remove from the spool. I just "peeled" the hair off with a tissue before throwing it in the garbage. Voila! I have no idea why I ever hesitated. I am included it in all of my housewarming gifts because I think it is so great and useful. It's the thing you never realized you wanted or needed. But now that I possess it, I am greatly improved.

I measured the flat ring of my bathtub drain's circumference before making a purchase and discovered that it is only a hair larger (2.9in) than the OXO drain protector (2.8in). In contrast to my previous drain protector, a translucent rubbery floral dome with suction cups that collects grime and is never visually appealing to clean, this one fits snugly and appears to be a permanent fixture of the bathtub. Although I use a heavy conditioner that always seems to collect in the tub's bottom, this OXO drain protector does a good job of catching hair. At least this drain cover is simple enough to lift, clean, and then plop back into the tub. I gave it five stars since it fits my drain well, looks nice, cleans up easily, and for the amount I paid, I couldn't ask for a more complete, non-clogging one that also catches hair. It ought to function as long as there is a flat surface on which a 0.8-inch rubber ring may be placed. To get a little more seal, apply a little water before inserting the OXO drain protector after making sure the flat surface is clear of any debris.

I recently installed a walk-in shower in the master bathroom. Even though I had attempted a few methods to stop hair from falling down the drain, I have long hair, and after 6 months I had to remove a huge "hair rat" from the drain. I'm happy with the purchase I made to keep as much as possible from draining away! I tried a couple others, but they either looked cheap or slowed the flow down the drain. This fits perfectly, remains in place without any issues, and totally functions. It just rests on top of the preexisting drain cover; it does not "suction" into place. To prevent it from shifting, I suppose you might apply a few tiny drops of silicone, but I haven't found it to be required. I'm so glad I found this little gem!

There is always a lot of hair falling down the drain because my wife has long, black hair that reaches all the way to her butt. Even though my hair is short, I am losing hair, and even the short hair becomes twisted in the glob that forms when conditioner, soap scum, and other heavy products are flushed down the drain. If you've ever attempted to unclog a tub drain, you are well aware of how unpleasant the task is.As a result, we had been using every product we could find for years to stop me from ever having to do that again. We have experimented with numerous plastic and chrome filters, some of which did manage to capture hair but had other drawbacks. The BEST of each category are the four products I discuss below:The following products are advised: TubShroom, Danco 10772, OXO, and standard wire mesh baskets. Not so much with other systems.1. TubShroom looks great, collects hair, is a medium amount of work to clean, but because it's colored, it doesn't look as horrible when it's full of hair and soap scum. lacks a method to plug the drain without taking it out and using your existing plug. Easy to install and remove, but cleaning long hair takes time because it wraps around. For us, it requires cleaning every two weeks or so (when there is water in the tub but it is still draining).2. Danco is higher than the TubShroom and features a black filter, which makes the soap scum that adheres to the hair plainly visible. The main benefit of the Danco is that, if you want to take a bath instead of a shower, you can quickly push the chrome-colored top down and intentionally shut the drain without having to look for an old drain plug you haven't used in months. Because it firmly clings the hair to keep it from falling down the drain, this screen is more difficult to clean of long hair. It is a little simpler to clean it with a brush. When the tub is in use, it is simple to unintentionally kick it due to its height. Even though it appears crooked, it doesn't stop functioning as a result. Because of the water that collects in the bottom of the tub when people take showers, we clean ours about every two weeks.3. OXO disk, which resembles a regular drain more than the other 3, has by far the best aesthetics of the 4. It collects all of the long hair and the majority of the shorter hair, but with each shower, it becomes clogged, necessitating you to reach down and use your fingers to clear it. On the majority of drains, it does stay in place, but some of the more recent bathtubs allow it to be quite easily kicked out of position.4. The screen baskets (there are a dozen different models sold that are identical) capture everything, but they jam up rapidly because the screen and the hair they catch all collect soap scum. If the scum is not taken out immediately after each usage, it will dry and become more difficult to remove. It requires several BANGS on the counter to totally empty it.The TubShroom is the least troublesome of these four systems and maintains its finest appearance when left untouched for two weeks in between cleanings. I personally like the TubShroom and the Danco, but the others will work just fine because I don't like having a shower when the water in the tub accumulates.

Second update: While I truly like it, the only way it will remain put is if I seal the bottom with a thin line of aquarium sealer or waterproof caulk. After I turned it upside down (see first review), it has successfully prevented all the hair from falling underneath, although of course there is nothing holding it in place in this position. If I add a little layer of caulk to it, I'll turn it back over the way it should be, and I believe there won't be any more issues or movement of the drain screen. I really appreciate how smooth and flat it is. Hair also doesn't get caught in the holes; instead, it just lies on top for easy removal. I appreciate that it looks nice and isn't just something that is in the bathtub. SS means no rusting, as well. But if you try it yourself, be careful that it might not always stay in place for you, and you might need to do what I'm doing to prevent it from the slight amount of movement that causes a small piece of the hair to get under, as I've noticed.First updateStill pleased with this drain screen, however after longer use, I've observed two things. First, when I picked it up one day, there was a tiny wad of hair below it. Since I had been removing hair from the top of it and didn't realize "how" hair was getting under it, I was surprised. It was still worthwhile because it caught more hair than my tub's built-in strainer does. Read on to learn about my answer. Second, it has started to move around my tub drain after originally staying put, and I'm wondering whether too much soap is causing the silicone ring to lose some of its grip. However, the movement has been so slight that my tub drain was still covered and I only gave it a tiny push back once a week, so it's not really a problem. I've placed it upside down over the drain so it sits completely flat on the bottom of the tub to see if I can prevent hair from going under it. appears to have been successful, and the slight movement didn't seem to raise or decrease anything. Since I switched it, the silicone is now on top and is barely noticeable. Since the silicone ring around the edge is so narrow and clear in color, it is hardly seen. I still appreciate this drain cover, though! It won't ever rust or break, everything it collects just wipes off in one motion without getting stuck in the holes, and it still looks fantastic. It is built to last and will always appear brand new.Initial assessmentPerfection! It functions perfectly, holds up even when water is sprayed at it from all sides, is simple to clean, and looks great. My dog's claws don't get stuck in the holes during a bath like they would with the built-in tub strainer holes, which is an unanticipated bonus. With no sharp edges or holes to catch a foot or paw on, this strainer is completely smooth as well. There is no need to remove anything because this strainer simply lies across the tub's built-in strainer. The built-in old tub strainer clearly didn't trap hair, but this strainer does! One drawback is that I put it off for a long time because I thought it was too expensive.

I had never had pop-up style trains before, so it took me a long time and a lot of trial and error to locate a drain protector that would work.My boyfriend and I both have somewhat long hair, and despite our best efforts to contain/collect what sheds in the shower, the shower drain in our previous apartment would become clogged every 2-4 weeks. It was always caused by hair, and while the problem was easily fixed, cleaning it out was always abhorrent.We had never before experienced this many problems, as well as this kind of outflow. I don't like it. We removed the "pop up" section since it kept closing in the middle of the shower and left the drain completely exposed. We spent a lot of time looking for a cover that fit and was also practical. When this appeared on my "recommended for you" list, I had given up. Regards, Amazon.We've only had this for a couple of weeks, but I already love it a lot. We both continue to capture as much hair as we can, but it stays in place, collects an unsightly quantity of hair, and is simple to clean. The lip around the edge does result in a tiny drainage backlog, which is my only criticism, but it's nothing compared to the ankle-deep water we'd receive when the drain got clogged AGAIN.I remove any hair as soon as I am out of the shower to avoid it becoming crusted on (yuck) and to allow any leftover water to flow (which keeps the tub clean longer)

I got this to prevent my elderly wife's hair from clogging the drain (mine also). Simply drop this hair catcher into the drain and it will function as intended. If you lose a lot of hair every time you shower, you will need to empty the container.Thanks to the Microban that is included in the plastic, I've had this for a month and have not found any mold. I used to work in the water damage and restoration industry and frequently utilized Microban. It is strong substance and prevents the growth of mold. The presence of Microban influenced my decision to buy this product. It's bad enough that I have to pick up this monstrosity full of hair, but it would be even worse if it were covered in slippery mold.Overall, it's a fantastic product that delivers on its promises and does it effectively.This is the most honest review I could write because I also rely on user reviews. Please select yes below if you're still reading and this review was helpful.

Despite having medium-length hair and being in generally good health, I frequently struggle to remove hair from my sink and bathtub before it clogs the drain. Many people with extremely fine hair, so I looked at a number of the solutions available and chose them. The first time I used one of these, I placed it over the drain. When I finished my shower, I could see all the hairs stuck to the cover's borders. The one in the bathroom sink is a little more challenging since, because of the tighter curve there, it sort of pops up at the back of the sink just under the faucet, but thus far, it has stopped the majority of the hair, which is what I intended. These do a terrific job!
If you have a bathtub drain that won't unscrew, there are a few things you can try. First, use a pair of pliers to grip the drain and turn it counterclockwise. If the drain is still stuck, try using a plumbing snake or a drain auger to clear any debris that may be blocking the drain. If all else fails, you may need to call a plumber to replace the drain.
The quality of water from your bathtub and kitchen sink is likely similar because it comes from the same source. Your municipality controls the quality of water that comes into your home, so the water from your bathtub and kitchen sink is safe to drink. However, the water from your bathtub may not be as clean as the water from your kitchen sink because your bathtub is likely to have more dirt and bacteria.
Most tub drains are secured with a screw-on ring or a snap-on flange. To remove either type, you'll need a drain-removal wrench. This is a C-shaped tool with handles on each end; the bottom of the C fits over the drain flange, and the handles give you leverage to unscrew the drain.
There is a lot of debate over whether or not you should drink water from a bathroom tap. Some people believe that it is perfectly safe to do so, while others believe that it is not. There are a few things to consider when making your decision. One thing to keep in mind is that bathroom taps are typically not as clean as kitchen taps. This means that there is a greater chance of bacteria being present in the water. However, if you are using a filter, this will help to remove many of the impurities. Another thing to consider is the quality of
There are a few ways to clear a slow bathtub drain. One way is to use a plunger. Put the plunger over the drain and push and pull the plunger up and down. Another way is to use a drain snake. Put the drain snake into the drain and twist it around to grab any hair or debris that may be clogging the drain.
The standard size for a bathtub drain is 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
