Do you apply the drain cover before or after the bath starts filling? I've been trying the former, but it falls off within minutes.

I usually have the tub about half full then get in and attach. Are you firmly pressing each little suction cup? Seems to me that some cups are submerged and some are still out of the water when I do it. Perhaps a quick wipe of the area with plain vinegar to get rid of any old oil or soap scum might help. I love the thing!

really? On the box it says fill half way and then put it on, but I usually just leave it on until it falls off and I do it again. Make sure you wet it and press on each sticky thing

I throw it in the tub while filling and let it float around so the auction cups get warm and softer. Then, just before the water level reaches where the bottom attaches I will apply to the overflow valve.

I had the same problem. What I do now..fill the blue bowl (I know, obvious) then place it somewhere firm, like on the counter. Put the bottom and tighten it just till it makes contact, do not over tighten, I use one finger to screw it on. Then press down around the edges of the bottom piece firmly so it slides on and then tighten the rest of the way. But again, do not over tighten, turn just till it makes contact. Hold it over the sink to be sure it does not leak. It will come off almost as easily. Had mine for almost 2 years now and no problems.

I haven't had that problem. I usually put a towel over the actual mat and hang the towel to air dry after using it. I then store the bamboo mat on its side, next to the bathtub. You may try putting the mat in strong sunshine for a few days, especially if you are in a dry climate. :/

it's never happened to me but you might want to fill it with CLR or vinegar then invert it so the liquid doesn't come out the drain holes. Let it sit like that for 1/2hour. That usually works for other hard water deposits.

The other responses are correct (you can leave the stopper in) however after using it, I wasn't completely satisfied with the results. So I removed the stopper and while that didn't help clear the drain with the Zip-It, the stopper itself had plenty of gunk around it that was part of the problem. Zip-It doesn't clean that so I cleaned it with a brush. The combo was perfect - love the Zip-It!

I lightly moisten both suction cups and mine stays firmly in place for at least a week on a stainless steel sink wall. If it starts to move a little after that week, I pop it off and remoisten. My cleaning person, who is incredible, is stymied by it and seems to have the same problem as you do! I think that the light moistening is the key.

I have not had this happen as I have a deep basin birdbath so there has always been enough water to cover the pump. In 1 sunny afternoon, it will empty the bath to a couple of inches. Once the water level goes down, less water is being shot out of the bath. I have had to replace water on a daily basis during a sunny stretch with no rain in forecast.

It always drains, so when I have mine on the countertop, I make sure the little holes (at opposite end of silverware trays) are positioned over the lip/edge of the sink. I guess you could cover those holes with something-??tape??-and then UNcover when you put it back in the sink.

The same thing happened to us. When I had a plumber here for other work, I asked him if he could try to get it off. No luck. I guess it's best not to leave it on your hose for too long or else it will become a permanent attachment.

I can't get mine to suction over the drain in my tub, but you can get a stopper at any hardware store.

It usually sticks. I soak mine in water for several hours, then hold the part on the outside bottom that turns, and pull very hard. It comes off. Any chance you have forced it on without making sure you have it "flat side to flat side"?

I had instructions with my extra mop head. But you step on the top nd it should pop off. If not I popped it on myself and then put the new mop head on. It worked that way.

I have never had this problem with this Drain. I would suggest making sure it is tightened down enough so that it is flush with the bottom of the bowl

I have not had that problem. I do have a newer "safe" drain cover but do not know how high it is for you to compare. Bruce.

I have the same problem and I fiddle with hose and tilt the basin to the side where it drains,and the water comes out. You will never get all the water out,and you need to turn the basin upside down in your tub or sink to get the rest of the water out.

do you have the drain piece installed properly? it should pop in and seal on both sides.

It wants you to drain the tub and then slide the undermount under the tub. However, I was able to raise the tub just enough to wedge the undermount under the tub (like CTG). Keep in mind, you are under the tub cabinet and the tub typically has heavy foam that you are sliding under. I also love the holder, works as advertised. Only thing is the in the off position, that part of the tub will have about 9" of the cover showing (at least on mine).
