Poll: Who else uses mesh filters in sink and shower drains?

I use them in both the kitchen and tub drains. My hair falls out pretty rapidly and I have to empty the strainer after each shower. One thing I don't like is the water backs up into the tub several inches before I'm done showering due to the hair collecting there.

Nan

:-P It's shorter than it used to be (now shoulder length) but had been about to the middle of my back when I got it cut.

I have no idea what the flow is. How would someone even measure that? We have terrible water pressure though. And ours is a hand-held as well. Still floods the tub.

Our sewer line tends to get blocked with tree roots and the management here has to send a plumber out about twice a year to clean out the lines. We'll get great drainage for a few months after a cleaning, then it starts backing up again.

Looks like something to try tomorrow :-)

Nan

OIC. Even broken lines?? The plumbing in this area is horrendous.

Nan

How about alt.marcia.can.bite.me?

All over the country, governments have been pushing for more and more sewer lines. It's expensive for residents, and the EPA says disposing of so much water is an environmental problem. A big percentage of existing lines are so broken that they need replacement, and there is no money for it; yet governments keep extending lines.

Sewers make it easy to put in fly-by-night businesses without investing in wastewater disposal. That's how farmland and forest turn into urban sprawl. Of course, if you want to rent buildings to tennants for housing or commercial use, a sewer connection means it's not the landlord's problem if tennants put something down the drain that would damage a septic system; it's the municipality's problem.

A copper wire won't mend broken pipes, but it can keep roots away from the cracks.

Is that another name for a washing-up bowl? I always chuck my washing up water onto the roses.

If you're looking for a bite, why not stop in? We don't discriminate on the basis of hair length.

You should make your waitresses wear hair nets, though. Last time I was there, I found a very long blond hair in my food.

Nan, brunette

Hmmmm..... I imagine part of our community's problem is the well system doesn't support the growing number of residents, and the septic is even worse.

Nan

Be careful, Nan, he's not talking about a bite of food. He's always trying to nibble on my ear.

That wasn't a waitress. It was a crossdressing customer known to some as Cindi and others as Chuck. If you don't see a car in the parking lot with its doors open to air out, you'll be able to eat in peace.

If by chance you meant a long blond hare, we're running a special on those in August. You can choose yours and scoop it up with a hare net, and we'll microwave it in savory sauces.

It's routine. We do it for all our customers. It's one reason for our reputation.

If we ever find your corn over- or undercooked, the chef will personally bring you an ear roasted to perfection.

No, it was definitely a waitress. Her nametag said "Marcia" She was loud and brash and bossy to everyone. I noticed several customers stiffed her on a tip because of her rude behavior.

Nan

No, I've never been to the Playboy Club. But I don't think Marcia would make a very good bunny either. Her assets leave much to be desired.

Marcey, you should visit Marcia.is.delusional

Nan

Lloyd Im confused.

Are you making an argument FOR septic tanks... and against sewer lines?

Signed .... Confused

Other than water, poop, and a moderate amount of some good quality TP (Scotts will do), you really don't want to put anything down that drain. Nothing.

Certainly no hair. No cellulose of any kind (that would be fruits & vegetables).

Use the strainer. Forget the disposal.
