Product Information

Full details

The Wirquin Uppy is a versatile 2-in-1 sink plug and filter designed for homeowners and renters seeking a simple, hygienic solution for their kitchen or bathroom drainage. Its primary benefit is the combination of a reliable leak-proof seal and an integrated debris filter, ensuring your pipes remain clear while providing an easy storage solution via its suction-cup 'stick' function; however, users should note that the 110mm size may not fit specialty or custom-sized luxury drain openings.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will this fit my standard kitchen sink?

The 110mm diameter is designed for universal compatibility with most standard sinks, but it is recommended to measure your drain opening before purchase.

Is the material dishwasher safe?

It is recommended to wash the plug by hand with warm water and soap to ensure the suction cup maintains its shape and flexibility.

Does it prevent drain odors?

Yes, by creating a tight seal when in the 'plug' position, it helps block sewer gases from escaping through the drain.

Can I use this in a bathtub?

Yes, the Wirquin Uppy is compatible with most standard bathtub drains for plugging or filtering purposes.

How often should I clean the filter?

It is best practice to rinse the filter after every use to ensure optimal water flow and maintain bathroom hygiene.

Troubleshooting

The plug does not create a tight seal.

Ensure the drain rim is clean and free of soap scum or hard water buildup, as these can interfere with the suction seal.

The suction cup falls off the wall.

Clean the wall surface with rubbing alcohol to remove grease, moisten the suction cup slightly with water, and reapply.

Water drains too slowly.

Check the underside of the filter for hair or debris build-up and clear away any trapped waste.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design replaces the need for separate strainers and plugs.
  • Integrated suction cup makes it easy to keep off the counter and within reach.
  • Effective at trapping food particles and hair to prevent pipe clogs.
  • Simple, tool-free installation and removal.
  • Bright pink color adds a touch of personality to your sink area.

Cons

  • The 110mm diameter may be too large for smaller bathroom basin drains.
  • Suction cup requires a smooth, clean surface to remain attached effectively.
  • Not intended for use with high-heat industrial water systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply center the 110mm Uppy over your existing drain opening. To activate the seal, push down firmly on the unit; to release the water, lift the edges. When cleaning, rinse the underside under warm running water to remove captured particles. If the suction cup loses its grip over time, clean both the suction pad and the intended surface with a mild soap and water solution to restore the bond. Do not use harsh abrasive scrubbers on the surface, as this may compromise the seal integrity over time.
