My drain is fairly close to the side wall of the tub where it starts to curve upward. Would this suction well (well enough) on a curved surface?

The product is flexible and works most of the time in this situation. Remember to wet the area before placing, as the water is the cause of the suction effect.

I'm sorry, I don't know for sure. The suction of the cup appears good enough. I have no complaint about it's suction. The snare drain does do what it purports to do only it seems to create another problem - slow drainage and possibly shampoo or soap scum remaining on the side walls of a sink or tub. The holes of the snare are small.

absolutely, that's why I bought this kind. Put it in the washing machine with the whites/bleach and it will come out clean as a whistle

This is a poor product. I do not think it would suction at all in your situation. In a bathtub, you may do better with a stainless steel mesh drain filter that actually fits down into the drain. Check Home Depot or Lowe's for the diameter of the opening. I attempted to use the Hair Snare in a shower stall, but it just floated on the water. I threw it in the garbage.

No, there is NO suction at all with this thing. It just kind of sits there like a rock. AHHHHHH LIKE A ROCK!!

I use this to cover a standard 1 3/4 inch tub/shower drain. The Protector does not sit down in or screw onto the drain, it sits above it, so it will not be flush if that is what you are looking for. I suppose if it will be used to cover a large drain in a tiled floor than you could cut a recess to allow it to sit flush.

I don't think so...the water intake comes in through the slots on the front. If you machined a new intake housing to adapt the intake to tubing...it might work...but considering the way the impeller works...I doubt it would have much suction...especially if it has to be started dry.

Funny you should ask now, I just got out of the tub. I think it should work. It's 5 inches across. My drain is fairly new but was leaking. I flip the drain to close, add the oxo stopper then reopen the drain stopper and it suctions on tight. Hope that helps.

Yes. Just make sure the suction lines have no air leaks. It will actually pull up hill about 20 feet if the suction line is sealed. You also need to put a foot valve on the suction line so that when it shuts off the suction line keeps water in it.

As long as the container you're putting the water into is lower than where you're drawing it from it should work. The only other thing I can think of is there is a hole of some sort in the hose so no suction.

I use it in my bathtub but since it comes in different sizes you have to measure the diameter of the drain in the bathtub and/or your sink to determine if it will work for you.

The attachment does not stretch much. Would say it is more for a sink, than a tub. My tub has about a 2.5" square opening and it did not fit.

It would depend on 1) if you already have a stopper on your drain and if you do, how high does it pop-up? and 2) What is the space like around the tub drain, could it be centered over the drain? It wouldn't work in my tub, because the drain stopper is large ~2.5" around and it pops up pretty hight and there isn't enough room between the drain and the vertical side of the tub for it to be centered over the drain and lay flat enough to work.

The pump works fine going to a condensate drain from the AC, but I have not used the gravity drain feature. The drain tube for mine does not lie flat either.

Probably not, since I find that the brushes on the vacuum head are flush with the housing and does not extend out which I think you would need to get into the grout surface.

The hole that we drilled is very small. Only enough for the drain. The curve has not posed any problem. No leaking as far as I know.

Can't really say for certain, but if it's cleaning the jets in my tub, I don't know why it wouldn't clean the drain in a standard tub. Wish I could be more helpful. Donna H.

yes if the unit is placed on a smooth flat surface. a curved surface would not work. a rough or stippled surface would not work.

I've never tried it, but in my use, it does seem to need to slope toward the drain. It is a neat product though.

Personally I don't think it would if you are referring to the old claw foot tubs. The curvature of the side would probably cause it to kick out toward the outside & not be stable. It is a wonderful grab bar. You could always try it & if it didn't work send it back.

There is a rubber grip around the edge and the protector itself is curved to sit in the slight valley around your drain. It is moveable if you try. However, my husband and I have not had any difficulty with accidentally kicking it around.
