Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: ensure the bath waste outlet is free of debris, then simply press the plug firmly into the opening. To ensure a tight seal, check that there is no soap scum or hair buildup around the rim of the drain before insertion. For care, it is recommended to rinse the plug under fresh water after each bath to remove soap residue and prevent mineral deposit buildup. If the plug shows signs of hardening or cracking after several years of service, it is recommended to replace it to maintain a watertight seal.
