Troubleshooting
Water is leaking from around the waste unit.
Ensure all connections are tightened securely. Check that the seals and washers are correctly placed and not damaged. If the leak persists, the unit may need to be re-sealed or inspected by a professional.
The bath is not holding water effectively.
Check the integrity of the plug and its seal. Ensure there are no obstructions in the drain pipe. The internal mechanism of the waste might require adjustment or inspection.
The overflow is not draining properly.
Inspect the overflow pipe for blockages. Debris can accumulate over time. Carefully clear any obstructions using appropriate tools.
