FAQs

How many strainers come in a pack?

This product is a pack of two Probus plastic sink strainers.

What materials are these strainers made of?

The strainers are made of plastic.

What is the primary purpose of these strainers?

Their primary purpose is to catch hair and debris in sink or bath drains to prevent blockages.

Are these strainers suitable for kitchen sinks?

Yes, they can be used in kitchen sinks to catch food particles and other debris, helping to prevent clogs. However, they are most effective at trapping larger items like hair.

How often should I clean the strainer?

It is recommended to clean the strainer regularly, ideally after each use or at least daily, depending on the amount of debris it collects, to ensure optimal water flow.

Can these strainers be used in outdoor drains?

These strainers are designed for indoor sink and bath drains. Their effectiveness and durability in outdoor environments are not guaranteed.

Do I need any tools to install the strainer?

No, installation is simple and requires no tools. You just place the strainer into the drain opening.

Troubleshooting

Strainer does not fit the drain properly.

Verify the dimensions of your drain opening against the strainer. If the strainer is too large or too small, it may not sit correctly. Consider purchasing a strainer with specified dimensions that match your needs.

Water is draining slowly even with the strainer in place.

Remove the strainer and check for clogs both in the strainer itself and further down the drain pipe. Clean the strainer thoroughly and ensure no debris has bypassed it or accumulated below it.

Strainer feels flimsy or is easily dislodged.

Ensure the strainer is seated correctly in the drain. If the plastic feels too flexible, it might be the wrong size for the drain, or a more robust material might be needed for heavy use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up, simply remove the Probus sink strainers from their packaging. Place one strainer directly into the drain opening of your sink or bathtub. Ensure it sits flush within the drain to maximize its effectiveness in catching debris. No tools are required for installation.

Compatibility: These strainers are designed for standard sink and bath drains. However, as the exact size is not specified, it is recommended to visually compare the strainer to your drain opening before purchase or to measure your drain and compare it to similar products if dimensions are available. It is intended for use in drains that accommodate a typical stopper or strainer basket.

Care: To care for your Probus sink strainers, regularly remove them from the drain and clear away accumulated hair and debris. Rinse the strainer under running water. For tougher grime, use a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the plastic. Periodically, it is advisable to clean the drain opening itself to prevent buildup below the strainer.
