Default Bubble Airlock

Just had new washbasin with pop up waste and a new central mixer tap with
aeriator that is directly above it.

I am noticing that often with the tap running it seems to not drain
properly and the sink starts to fill. I am begining to think that the
bubbles in the water interfere with the ability of the drain to take the
water!

Any thoughts?


What happens if you lift the plug out and try then (with most popup
wastes the plug is not fixed in place and just rests on the lifting
mechanism).

Likewise, what happens if you poor water from a bucket into the sink,
does it drain differently then?
