Hi there peeps!
I had the bathtub position relocated (brand new plumbing except for the column) and a brand new free standing bathtub installed. When the water reaches the overflow, the overflow does not do its job. If I don't stop the water flowing into the bathtub= disaster waiting to happen.
When I pop open the bathtub's drain stopper and I close quickly, the overflow then starts to evacuate water.
I first thought perhaps the pipe connecting the freestanding bathtub was sticking too deep into the floor drain, I shortened it, hoping this will allow more air but the problem was not resolved.
I contacted the bathtub manufacturer who said this is clearly a plumbing problem.
I contacted the plumber who said this is clearly a bathtub problem.
Any ideas are very much appreciated. I am about to move out of the apartment and rent it out and I'm very concerned about potential water damage.
Thank you
