FAQs

What materials is the Wirquin Uppy plug made from?

The Wirquin Uppy plug is crafted from high-quality, durable materials designed for resistance to chemicals and scratches.

How often should I clean the filter?

It is recommended to clean the filter regularly, ideally after each use or daily in high-traffic areas, to maintain optimal performance and prevent clogs.

Can this plug be used in all types of sinks?

The Uppy plug features a universal fitting system designed to adapt to various sizes and shapes of sink, washbasin, and bathtub drains.

Does the filter catch very small particles?

The filter is primarily designed to capture larger debris such as hair and soap scum. It may not effectively filter out very fine sediment or silt.

Is the orange color purely aesthetic?

The orange color serves both an aesthetic purpose, adding a modern touch, and provides a visible indicator within the drain.

What is the benefit of the leak-proof design?

The leak-proof design ensures that water stays in the sink or tub when filled, and also helps to prevent unpleasant odors from rising through the drain.

Troubleshooting

Plug is not sealing properly

Ensure the drain opening is clean and free of obstructions. Check if the universal fitting is correctly seated in the drain. If the drain is an unusual size or shape, the seal may be compromised.

Water is still draining slowly

The filter may be clogged. Remove the plug and clean out any trapped hair or debris from the filter section. Ensure the drain pipe itself is not blocked.

Plug is difficult to remove

Gently twist and pull the plug. Ensure there are no obstructions around the base of the plug. Avoid using excessive force.
