Can the part of twist n lock be removed to clean up routinely? Will the overflow's screws rust?

So sorry. Returned it because they sent me the wrong item. Never reordered from them.

My unscrews and comes apart for cleaning. It was screwed in pretty tight but eventually I was able to unscrew it and it cleaned up nicely.

Yes. If you don't sink the screw far enough and break it off, some of the shank will still be sticking up and will poke you. I had a few do this and had to use pliers to back the screw out. Have a few extra screws on hand to replace the ones you remove because this will happen, no matter how careful you are.

It can be struck pretty tight but it will unscrew the usual counter-clockwise. At least once, I have taken the device off of the faucet to get a better grip. Once off the faucet, you might even use expandable groove pliers since the cartridge is going in the trash. You might try a light coating of liquid soap on the threads of the replacement cartridge.

Unless you have really rusty threads, you shouldn't have to ream the holes. I had no problem at all on mine.

Sure. Just carefully drill your 2 holes on each side. A flange covers the screws. But this is my second one that has began to rust.

I plan to remove mine and try to rust proof it. I did not believe the post but mine has started to rust...not cool. Something needs to be done by manufacturer.

To properly do it you have to unscrew the screws to remove it but you can tie it up and leave the hoop on too. We actually are very disappointed with this product. They replaced the first rim and screw for us due to rust,which was great. Now another year has gone by and the second set it rusting even worse and ours does not even sit out all year. It is outside from June to September. Stored away the rest of the time and still rusted horribly.

We have used them several times, and have not removed anything. Use of emery cloth will ensure pipe is clean and free of burrs. Knob does seem hard to turn, so hold the pipe to support it while turning.

I have not had any problems with rust. After I use it, I rinse it under the faucet and throw it in the drain rack. I had my first one for 15 years and have had this one for 9 months. I love it!

no, everything reattaches with sheet metal screws (to the header bar) The screws maybe rusty and require vice grips to remove if they strip. The header is plastic so the screws will not be frozen in. I suggest replacing the screws with stainless ones.

I don't think you can clean that part. You aren't really able to reuse these. Once you take it off you probably have to get a new one

Twist on. You need to line up the threads carefully, though. If you rush and force it, it will leak.

You can clean it and keep reusing it, but most people don't want to touch what they pull out of their drain. It's inexpensive so I just throw it away and replace it with a new one. I didn't have to replace it for 4 months.

Honestly not sure, I mean it flips up for you to pour the watr in. But I haven't tried to remove it completely. Its at work right now. My next day at work will check.

I am unsure about removing screws to clean it. I have not had to deep clean it in that manner. I find the cup holders easy to wipe clean and the fabric wipes clean easily when we have spilled.

I removed mine to replace them with a screw mount lock and it took a little bit of work but it surprising came off well without residue.
