Can this shower be drained from the bottom?

This shower fixture goes directly into the plumbing hot and cold water pipes. There is no mixer valve. This would be used as a typical stand alone shower without a mixer valve like a bathtub would have. There is no drain on the fixture itself either

Yes, it can, but you will have water pooling in the center as the legs on one side are slightly higher. I love this drainer except I replaced the silverware holder with one from Bed,Bath&Beyond; in stainless. The design of the one that comes with the drainer is awkward and everything flops over.

My husband says yes. But you still have to remove it to drain the water. There is no drain.

Yes, there is an extra spout on the side at the top that you can hook up a hose to and divert the excess water from the full pot somewhere else. You could also leave the smaller drain hose open if you wanted to.

We do have a handheld shower on ours. We didn't install it. A plumber did. So I don't know exactly how he did it, but he took the original shower head off and put the handheld hooked up at the top. We can hold it or leave it alone as the shower head. So we still have the downward part for winter drainage.

At the bottom, there is a spout, we use it for filling buckets etc, as we have this unit in a shower. It is on a separate control/on/off knob. It seems to spout straight down.

Yes you can. I've done it on several occasions. What you want to do is measure and cut a equal amount on both sides. This will ensure the drain is still in the center of the shower and the slope will still be equal. I hope this helps

Yes, you can. However, I recommend using rubber liner in lieu of the shower base.

Yes it is. There is a plug at the bottom you can unscrew to drain water, but you can also lift out the whole insert to wash it out.

I did not use a bottom and it is just fine. Also, if you are going to have a large volume of water pouring in at once there will be less resistance to drainage without the bottom.

Yes, you can. The pipe piece slides down into the two ends. I've had this up in my renovated shower for about 8 months and it looks good and works great.

Yes you could, however, you would have to buy a separate tub drain and shower kit.

The heater Has to go on the bottom between the plastic liner and wood frame, so yes you DO have to drain your bed. Hope this helps.

The whole bottom is a drain including the round brush holder. The sponge holder lifts out for easy cleaning. I have no standing water in the bottom.

No, it does not. There are tiny open slats along the sides, at the base where the house lies on. I suppose you could use a power setting on your hose, direct it through the circular opening in the front, add some soap or bleach or whatever you use, cover the hole and shake furiously around for awhile and then rinse thouroughly. It would then drain through the bottom slats.

Yes, absolutely. The unit actually draws water from the shower output up top. So your original tub/shower diverter knob allows you to either use the bottom tub faucet or the shower unit.

In my opinion it should go on the bottom. If it was on top, water may get into it. Also being on the bottom will allow for any condensation to drain out.
