So you got one of those idiot tubs without an overflow. I replaced a tub

It has an overflow, but I've found that neither sink nor tub overflows
handle as much water as comes in.

I think I took the whole thing apart once -- remove the two screws adn
pull the wire and the bottomless bucket out from the wall -- and there
nothing clogged about it. Perhaps the area where the water leaves
the tub is not big enough.

Same problem with a sink.

for that reason. Of course you shouldn't let the water drip either.
But tubs and sinks without overflows are assinine.

I wish toilets had some sort of overflow drains too, so when they plug,
they would not run all over the floor....
