Default This Tub Pop-Up Is For Bald Families Only

Just a suggestion:

If you have hair, or if anyone in your family has hair, do not use a
foot activated pop-up in your bathtub.

I installed one in my new tub and at least once a month I had to
disassemble the unit to clear the slimy mass of hair from the cross
bars under the pop-up. I have 2 teenage girls and a wife with average
length hair. I don't use that tub too often so I wouldn't know about
it until they'd tell me how much they hate the new tub 'cuz it's
backing up *again*.

After the third time disassembling it (tools required) I decided I
didn't want to be a slave to my drain any longer and I replaced it
with a lever operated pop-up with a screen on top. Now the girls clear
the hair themselves giving me more time to fix the *other* things that
they complain about.
