Review on 🚰 Fengbao 2PCS Stainless Steel Bathroom Drain Strainer with Small Wide Rim - 2.2" Diameter: Optimal Filtration for Sinks by Darius Slater

We put this strainer in our bathtub. It captures hair very well, both short and long hair, better than the plastic filters we tried. While metal wire bath strainers also catch hair very well, this stainless steel strainer is much easier to clean. So what's the problem? The mesh filter blocks approximately 50% of the water flow. Normally, without this filter, water will flow down the drain as fast as it flows out of the shower. With this device, twice as much water is used for every minute of showering. After a 5 minute shower, the screen causes the tub to fill with water and I have to wait another 5 minutes for the water to drain after I turn the water off. If you look at the filter, the problem becomes obvious. There's as much metal as there are holes, so the strainer turns a 1.5" tub drain into a 0.7" drain (my estimate of the total size of all the stacked holes). So, here is the bottom line. The mesh filter does a great job of keeping hair out of the drain. However, your drain seems half-clogged every time you use this filter. And if hair gets on the filter while showering, the water drains even more slowly.
