[Push Button Design] Hapilife Modern Brass Clicker Clack Sprung Plug Bathroom Sink Basin Pop Up Waste Slotted with Overflow

Good quality and easy to fit for DIYer, though bigger than I thought it would be

Looks good and materials are good too nice quality

This was bought to replace an expensive one that only lasted a couple of years, after which the internal metal strainer component, which is part of the plug and waste system, deteriorated and disintegrated.This one was very easy to fit and it did not leak at all. I was pleasantly surprised that there were not even any small leaks, due to the precise size and thread tolerances. The washers provided were absolutely perfect, eliminating the need for things like, say, plumber's putty.Despite the above, I gave it 4 stars, instead of 5, due to one minor issue; drainage is rather slow, causing the sink to fill up even when the plug is open.I haven't tried to fix this issue yet, but it seems that the black washer, intended to restrict water flow when the plug is closed, might be the culprit. It isn't currently a major issue because, although the sink fills when the plug is open, it fills rather slowly. I will still have look at fixing this issue in a couple days though.

Worked well

I replaced my old pop up waste as after only around a year it had stopped clicking open and became stuck often, there was also a trap for dirt just below the clicker and water wasn't draining fast. Upon removing I began searching for one with a solution the issue and came across this which claims the top can be removed by turning counter clockwise (not tested yet) and this in theory making it easy to clean below when needed.The general appearance was above expectations, the silver head is about double the size I expected and adds to it's premium look though the real test will be how long it lasts as I am very sceptic about that, if I get 4-5 years I will be happy and halfway to the manufacturers claimed 10 year guarantee...As for fitting it was very simple, I simply screwed it into place using my hands (with a cloth to tighten) holding the top and bottom simultaneously, I wanted to tighten with some wide grips but didn't have any at the time, I have since borrowed some but have left it as it's fine and note the manufacturer does warn against over-tightening...The thread and the nut are both mettle which was a big plus for me.Finally, there are YT videos of plumbers using plumbers mait under the upturned flange that seals to the bottom of the sink, this is a cheap enough product (around £4) and will fill the threads if any leak is experienced though from my own experience I would suggest this could also be due to over tightening as it seems that is unnecessary, mine is as tight as I could get it with my hands and a cloth, a small pinch with some grips would likely be about right if you have some to hand (I believe they are called slotted grips, the type I have acquired from the partners father, Ok i will give them back one day...)

while it does the job it's not well made and the top cover is wobbly (which you'll realise once installed), if you're a landlord perhaps you'll be happy as it's cheap, but I wouldn't buy it again but doesn't worth the hassle to dismantle and return.

ok

I was very pleased with the quality of the waste unit when it arrived. It is all metal and quite a hefty weight to it and feels like it will last.The only downside are the washers/seals as they are supposed to make a watertight seal without the need to use any silicone which was important to me; unfortunately it did not quite do it. It seemed to be ok with half a basin of water, but when I tested it with a full basin which put more pressure on it, small drips were evident.No matter how much I tightened the metal nut there was always small drips with a full basin of water. I didn’t have any silicone, so I wrapped a few turns of PTFE tape on the threads and that was enough to stop the drips
