You can't use those things with most bathroom drains. Because they all have the built-in stoppers. Are you talking about these? We didn't install them with the countertop sinks. Our shower and bath drains didn't come with them. For the countertop sinks, we never thought they were useful so when we had new countertops installed, we didn't put those built-in stoppers. I mean, when I wash my face, I just get water from the pipe. We don't collect water in the tub.

In this modern age, does anyone ever collect water in a basin to wash their face? I thought this practice died with the homesteaders in 1937.

It's a bathtub. And, yes, people still fill their sinks with water; but, more to the point, we don't have a choice. The sink apparatus comes that way.

All that hair and gunk that fall in there! Yuck! Remove it and place a mesh drain filter on top and NEVER LET HAIR DOWN YOUR DRAIN!

Yes, I can remove the one from the bathtub, although no one can take baths then. But the one in the sink can't be. It's a pain.

Once you remove the built-in drain stopper, you need to get a separate drain stop for the baths. Some are corky, most are rubbery. By the way, WHO TAKES BATHS!?!?! You can take out the built-in stopper. Difficulty varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.

@ruffda, I'm catching the first flight out to Minneapolis to fix your damn plumbing problems. I can't stand to see you suffer with all the bad choices you made with your house infrastructure. Get me a car at the airport.

We put our water heater in our attic probably 10 years ago. Evidently, it has a leak. Yesterday, the ceiling in my pantry collapsed. Insulation, water everywhere. My husband got up there and discovered the pipe from the overflow fan stopped about a foot before the hole outside. Just stopped. So, rather than the water being funneled outside, it pooled on top of the pantry.
Hoping insurance covers this, or the plumbers insurance covers this. Cuz mama wants a new laundry room and pantry.

May I ask why it is beneficial to put the water heater in the attic?

I had a waterfall in my kitchen a few years ago. Broken pipe in the radiator upstairs. That's when you need to know how to shut off the water to your home. Not sure I know, even now.
Yesterday, I came downstairs and there was a huge puddle on the kitchen floor. "Not again," I thought, after thinking, "Hey, what's that on the floor?"
Good news. It as a leak from the gallon of cooking oil my wife had sitting on the kitchen floor for the last two months. Why was it sitting on the kitchen floor, you may ask? Still not determined. But much better than if it had been sitting in the Lazy Susan.
You might also ask, Why a gallon of cooking oil? Man, you are a curious one, aren't you?

May I ask why it is beneficial to put the water heater in the attic? I was thinking the same thing. I never put water-stuff above ground level unless I was perhaps living on a homestead and I had a tank to capture water and I needed to utilize gravity to "push" the water downward to my plumbing.
