Hi All!
This may seem like a moronic question but Im quite serious.
I have a real linty headache...with a bunch of kids, dogs, and us (and maybe old clothes and I dunno why else) we generate a lot of lint washing clothes.
No matter what we try, we have alot of problems with clogging of the tub drain and even a few times the main drain.
Im trying to find a better way to deal with that, and I thought plumbers might have a good solution.
I've tried the metal mesh hose screens, the plastic cone inserts for the tub drain, and several other approaches with little success. Basically I've tried everything I can find at ordinary Home Despot/hardware etc. stores
Is there a *plumbing* solution to the problem? I'm reminded of the grease trap at the restaurant I used to work at (yuk)--maybe some sort of "setling tank" like that. Or some better drain filter Ive not heard of?
Its a little serious because our main drain is 92 years old, and intolerant of any insults, and we've had lint clogs before. If we had trouble and that line (camera inspected and described to me as "fragile")--well, the next snaking could be the last for the line.
Any ideas would be genuinely appreciated...
