Upgrade Your Bathtub Without Major Renovation

If your bathroom feels outdated or in need of a refresh, you don’t need to commit to a full renovation to make a noticeable difference. Small, cost-effective upgrades can enhance both the appearance and functionality of your bathroom. Installing a new bathtub stopper and a hair catcher are two easy solutions that can instantly give your space a fresh, modern look without breaking the bank.

Install a New Bathtub Stopper

One of the simplest ways to upgrade your bathtub is by replacing your old, worn-out stopper. Over time, stoppers can lose their seal, leading to water leakage or slow drainage. The Watco SimpliQuick® Tub Fix Push Pull Composite White Bathtub Stopper offers a sleek, modern design that fits over your existing drain, making installation quick and easy. With no need to remove the old drain body, you can have a new, fully functional stopper installed in minutes.

This easy-to-use push-pull mechanism allows you to control water flow effortlessly, while the corrosion-resistant materials ensure durability. The Watco stopper provides not only improved functionality but also a cleaner, more polished look for your bathtub.

Add a Hair Catcher for Drain Protection

Another simple yet effective upgrade is installing a hair catcher. Hair clogs are a common issue that can lead to slow drainage and unpleasant odors. The Watco SimpliQuick® Tub Fix “Hair Catcher” is designed to trap hair before it can cause a blockage, protecting your plumbing and keeping your drains running smoothly.

This hair catcher is easy to install, snapping into place over your existing drain. It’s also easy to clean—just remove it, clear out the hair, and rinse. With its sleek design, the hair catcher blends seamlessly with your tub, keeping your bathroom both functional and fresh.

Upgrading your bathtub doesn’t require major renovations. Small, thoughtful changes like installing the Watco SimpliQuick® Tub Fix “Hair Catcher” and a new Watco SimpliQuick® Tub Fix Bathtub Stopper can make a big impact on both style and function. These quick, affordable updates will leave your bathroom looking clean, modern, and well-maintained.

Woodford Hydrants: Irrigation Solutions in Many Places

It can be easy to overlook the importance and value of a yard hydrant because most of us don’t even notice them until they stop working. Yard hydrants play a vital role in sustaining life by providing water to animals, people, and numerous other environments. The reliability of yard hydrants is crucial, and choosing high-quality equipment is one way to ensure your irrigation needs are not interrupted, and you maintain a continuous supply of fresh water year-round. 

Yard Hydrants and their Applications

Many locations that rely on continuous water supply are remote, oftentimes in areas where the closest supply of fresh water could be many miles away. Utilizing quality products, like the Woodford Y34 IOWA® yard hydrant, will provide continuous delivery of your irrigation needs, even in freezing temperatures. 

The Woodford Y34 IOWA® yard hydrant is utilized in many different applications and environments, such as:

  • Farms – farmers use yard hydrants to water their growing crops and to water their farm animals.
  • Campsites – campers take advantage of yard hydrants for fresh water when enjoying campgrounds, giving them access to non-potable water.
  • Ranches – ranchers rely on yard hydrants to water their livestock and sustain their life.
  • Rural residences – people who live in rural areas may rely on hydrants as a means of having water for their residences.
  • Parks – parks employ the use of hydrants to provide water to visitors, hikers, and travelers to the area.

Whatever your irrigation requirements, Woodford has the greatest hydrants available to deliver dependable irrigation even in below-freezing temperatures.

Unclog a Tub Drain With a Snake Without Removing Your Stopper

A bathtub drain can get clogged up pretty easily from a variety of things entering the drain over a period of time. Hair, dirt, soap, or the occasional foreign object can eventually cause your tub drain to form a clog which prevents water from draining as it should. This can be quite annoying when you are trying to take a shower and find yourself standing in inches of dirty water.

Depending on how often you use the shower, how many people are in the house, or especially how many people are in the house with long hair, you may have to clean your tub drain periodically.  There are a few simple tools that you can use yourself to fix your tub drain and you can even unclog a bathtub drain with a snake without removing your stopper. Most of the time when we think of using a snake, we think about snaking the drain through the drain hole, although most professional plumbers will snake a drain through the overflow hole to clean out a clogged tub drain. 

Remove Your Overflow Plate

Many obstructions in a bathtub drain can be dislodged manually through the overflow plate. The first thing to do without removing your tub stopper is to remove the tub overflow plate. This is easy enough to do with just a screwdriver. 

Now you can use a simple plastic drain snake that can be purchased at any hardware store and has little notches down the side that grab hair and debris to easily pull out of the drain. If you do not have a plastic drain snake, you can take a wire coat hanger and bend the end into a little hook to reach in and pull out any stuck hair. Pull out as much hair and foreign material as you can reach, and then flush the drain thoroughly with hot water.  

Most of the time this will do the trick, if you have a heavy-duty clog you may need to use an auger or a plumber snake which can also be purchased at any hardware store. Unclogging your drain yourself is pretty simple to do and there is usually no need to call in a professional plumber.

Installing a quality bathtub stopper with a drain cover helps to prevent excess hair and foreign material from entering your drain in the first place. Check out these quality bathtub stoppers made by Watco, a name recognized for high-quality tub drain products.

FixMyDrain.com is your one-stop for bathtub drain solutions with quality Watco tub drain products.

How to Install Watco Waste and Overflow Drain

Watco is a name known for innovative, high-quality bathtub drain, waste, lavatory drain and overflow products. Watco waste and overflow is the name preferred by professional plumbers that recognize durable and long-lasting bathtub drain products.

What Is Bathtub Waste and Overflow?

The bathtub waste and overflow is usually overlooked and not noticed when we look at the bathtub. The bathtub waste describes the drain at the bottom of the tub that disperses bathtub water. The overflow is the hole in the tub that allows excess water to drain out of an overflowing bathtub. 

How Does a Bath Waste and Overflow Work?

The overflow hole is covered with an overflow plate, although it does not contain any mechanism to stop the flow of water. This means that water will continuously drain out of the overflow hole once the water reaches that level. The overflow drain effectively disperses water out of the bathtub to protect your floors and home from water damage from an accidentally overflowing tub. 

As long as the overflow drain is not clogged, it will effectively drain water to keep the water level several inches below the top of the tub. Over time, these components can become corroded or clogged and not allow water to drain out as well as it should.

How to Replace a Bathtub Overflow Plate

The overflow plate on your bathtub is something that you don’t really notice until it becomes corroded or your tub stopper quits working.  The overflow plate is there as a safety feature to prevent water from overflowing out of the bathtub in case the water is accidentally left on or the tub gets too full. Water flows through the opening at the bottom of the overflow faceplate and into the main drainpipe instead of over the side of the tub.

Some bathtub stoppers are controlled by a lever in the overflow plate such as a plunger style or a pop-up style of bathtub stopper. If you stopper is not controlled through the overflow plate, there is no lever coming out of the faceplate and you’ll see a tub stopper over the drain opening. If you’re overflow faceplate is corroded, or if you need to replace your bathtub stopper, there is an easy way to do both with simple DIY tub repair products. 

Watco Innovator Snap-On Overflow Plate

The Watco patented Innovator Snap-On overflow plate is backed by the recognized name of Watco, known for high-quality products with innovative design for easy installation. This easy snap-on design comes with the adapter bar and black retainer nut. Simply remove the bolts from your existing faceplate and use the same bolts to attach the new “H” adapter bar and retainer nut.

After installing the black retainer nut, simply snap on the Watco Innovator Snap-On bathtub overflow plate and make sure that the opening is at the bottom.  It’s so easy to replace your tub overflow plate with a beautiful, brand new one that comes in various finish options. If you are replacing your bathtub stopper at the same time, the SimpliQuick® Tub Fix bathtub stopper is available with a matching overflow plate.

How to Install a Watco Half Kit Bath Waste

Installing the Watco half kit bath waste is easier than you may think with step-by-step video instruction available from BuyEagle.com.  The Watco 901 Series Half Kit Bath Waste is a Schedule 40 bath waste which is great for installing where PVC piping already exists (PVC tubing is not included with this kit).  As you install PVC tubing to the Ell and Elbow sections of the 901 series, we show you first-hand how to cut, glue and install PVC pipe under your drain and in your overflow piping area. 

This schedule 40 Half Kit Bath waste provides a simple installation with no screws needed. Included is the Watco Innovator Snap On overflow plate which provides a nice clean look. 

Install PVC Pipe and Watco Trim Kit Instructions

If cutting the PVC pipe is required, measure and mark your pipe and cut the one and a half inch schedule 40 pipe to the desired length to fit behind your bathtub.  Allow for some extra piping to accommodate any misalignment issues if necessary. Follow the instructions for gluing your PVC pipe and then secure the drain elbow and drain flange gasket by threading the strainer body through the tub drain hole from the inside of the tub. 

Tighten the drain which may require two sets of hands.  Next, install the overflow elbow by placing the foam gasket on the overflow elbow and insert into the overflow hole from behind the tub. Tighten the retainer over the overflow piping from inside the tub by hand tightening only. 

Remove the red test membrane from the overflow pipe opening, then snap on the Watco Innovator Snap On overflow plate onto the black retainer ring.  Be sure that the opening is facing downward towards the bathtub drain.  Next install the bathtub stopper into the strainer body, tighten with a screwdriver and then screw in the top of the stopper.
