Pop Down® Drain Education
What's Inside Your Drain
Old Technology
If you could easily remove a pop-up stopper, this is what you might see.
Rotting, noxious, unsanitary gunk: nasty.
The traditional pop-up drain is built to clog, by design. The "T" slots in the typical flange allow grime into the overflow. Just because it's "free" with a faucet doesn't mean you should recommend it.
Pop-up drains are unsanitary, difficult to clean and, most of the time, they don't work.
The solution to the pop-up issues are to disassemble the entire drain from below the sink and clean it –over and over, year after year.
What's Inside Your Drain
Old Technology
It's a lot of work to take apart and re-install a pop-up, as you can see to the left.
Look at the over-flow slots: the trapped, rotting sludge creates a noxious odor. It's virtually impossible to ever clean the sink's hidden over-flow as the entire drain needs to be fully removed and the overflow scrubbed. We see this over and over: folks pouring cleanser down their over-flows trying to stop the smell.
Additionaly, the lever that operates the stopper acts as a hair-hook. The drain begins to clog and slow from day one. The p-trap starts to choke, creating one more maintenance task.

The Pop Down® Drain solves the issues of the old-school pop-up drain. There are no levers to adjust. Simply lift out the sturdy brass stopper, wipe it clean with a tissue and replace. It's so easy and the mechanism has a 10 year warranty.
The Pop Down® uses clever over-flow ports, keeping gunk out of the sink's over-flow channel.
Rinsing the removed stopper helps keep the p-trap clean and fast flowing.
It's fantastic. So, what do architects and designers think?
The Best Design Choice
The flush, seamless look of the Pop Down® in the "open" position is preferred by architects and designers for it's simple, seamless elegance. Unsightly pop-up drains are no more.
The jewelry friendly stopper flows great and meets or exceeds code required flow rates.

Don't settle for a stock, packaged drain. Once again, just because it came with the faucet doesn't mean you should recommend it. Let your customer discover the difference.
