Has anyone had problems with the pop-up drain (stopper) not plugging the drain well? All 3 of ours look closed but water drains quickly. Fix tips?

It's important to use the plastic washers on both sides of the plastic ball, if you lost one then I don't know what to do

Yes, I noticed that. I find that when I turn the handle slightly to the left before I lower it, it works perfectly.

Sometimes you have to open the black plug in the back and tip the machine to drain it. We unfortunately have ours hoisted up onto a foot stool and constantly draining into a pan! I really can't stand it but we don't have the money to replace it.

I also had a pop up drain but it was attached via single screw in the center. Once I removed the screw the top came right out and I was able to put the hair catcher in. Since the pop up cap was removed I can no longer fill the tub without putting it back in. Hope that helps.

Hi, Hold on to handles, place over drain hole and push firmly. Be careful when you pull up so as not to get splashed. I found this plunger to be the easiest and best I have ever used. It usually works after one (maybe two) plunges and does not take an incredible amount of strength (like other plungers).

I have the same issue. I think it is some flaw in the design of the way the bowl and drain connect through the counter top. I have tried several ways to correct the problem, but no luck.

Was it working fine before this? You mean up to the top?? Is it possible that the salt has all clumped together to create a kind of dam? Or a drain tube is clogged? I've gotten help for things like this from the 800 number in the booklet.

The pop updrain that i purchased was a push down to close, pish down again to open type. There is no connection at the faucet.

Mark, This seems to be a common problem with these units. I don't have mine anymore because Consumer Reports Took away their recommendation because some of them were catching on fire. When I did have it, I solved the drain hose issue by gluing in a stopper with silicone glue. I can't remember exactly where the stopper went, but some close examination should allow you to figure out where to put the stopper. It was a small drain hole. Check on google re the fire issue. You may want to try to return it if you can. I got a Frigidare unit which is working fine.

I had a little trouble with mine that I think was due to my pop ups. The little device was getting knocked around quite a bit and it did open up leaving a chlorine tab on the plaster. However, I might have had a defective unit and the vendor proactively sent me a replacement when I mentioned it in a review. It's winter now and I've not tried the replacement, but I'd encourage you to try the product knowing that the vendor stands behind it if it gives you problems.

I bought this fixture, and the "drain stopper", as you call it is known as a "pop up", and mine was included with the fixtures. The problem with this fixture is that is has no hole drilled into the spout to allow you to install the rod that connects to the drain stopper. If you look at the pic you will see that the rod to connect to the pop up is between the hot water handle and the spout, which means that you would have to drill a hole into your vanity top to connect it to the drain stopper. If your drain stopper was not included with your purchase, call the vendor and tell them, they will send you one.

do you have the drain piece installed properly? it should pop in and seal on both sides.

Probably only with DIFFICULTY. My plug wouldn't stay up, SO I had removed it completely LONG ago. I had unobstructed drain opening to work with. Suggest you phone HORN PLUMBING, my supplier, at 417-256-5191; ask them, staff knowledgeable and VERY HELPFUL.

I've never had a problem with the drain. When I first got the porch potty, I applied a good amount of E6000 industrial glue to the drain opening and the drain tube. I haven't had a leak! I also make sure to spray down and clean with pinesol every couple days to keep the smell to a minimum.

What I would do is take the drain plug to the hardware store and ask them. I have had trouble with leakage on some of my rain barrels at the spigot sight. I will never put in another spigot again, because of the leakage. I dip into the top or use a water pump.

I don't use mine very often, but I've used it a few times at least with no problems. But a couple days ago I used it and I think I've got the same problem you are describing. I could hear that it was not working right and I could see that water was not getting sucked up. I picked up and reseated the water tank assembly. Then it worked fine again. The problem is, I had to do this several times as I cleaned our small living room. I hope this is not going to be a continual problem because the machine is very new and has seen very little use.

No, actually my pop up drain broke and I had an ugly hole looking straight in the drain. This sits over the hole and looks great. Works wonderful for shower. Stays in place until you remove it for cleaning. If you need to use bath tub you must use a stopper for bath tube (a flat rubber tub stopper will lay over this and can be used for baths.)

we didn't have a pop-up drain in the bathtub but we did put it upside down and that prevented hair and stuff from going down the drain and we just cleaned it up after every showering. Hope this helps! :)
