Does the chrome finish chip or peel easily?

Troubleshooting

Slow water drainage

Ensure the silicone grill is clean and free of debris. Check for any blockages in the waste pipe or siphon. Verify that the trap is correctly installed and not kinked.

Unpleasant odors persist

Confirm the silicone membrane is correctly seated and undamaged. Clean the silicone grill and membrane thoroughly. Ensure there is sufficient water in the trap to maintain the water seal.

Drain cover is loose

Check that the grill is properly seated. If the entire drain unit is loose, re-examine the mounting and sealing during installation.

Water leaking from connection

Inspect all pipe connections for tightness and integrity. Ensure all seals and washers are correctly in place and functioning. Re-tighten connections or replace faulty seals as needed.
