The morning routine that I follow has been notably more streamlined ever since I replaced my previous fixture, which had a sluggish draining speed, with this square floor drain that is matte black. A noticeable increase in water flow was something I noticed very immediately after taking my very first shower. As soon as I turned off the handle, the floor was completely cleaned up in a matter of seconds, and there were no puddles or stray drops left behind. Because this rapid drainage eliminates the possibility of standing water, I no longer have to be concerned about slick patches or water seeping into grout lines. As a result, cleaning up is much quicker and requires much less effort. A pleasant surprise was the ease with which the drain could be installed. Simply aligning it with the flange that was already there, pressing it into position, and securing it was all that was required of me. After it had been set, it was absolutely flush with the surface of the tile, which resulted in the formation of a continuous plane that channels every drop of water directly into the channel below. I spend almost no time searching for clumps or unclogging sluggish places since this smooth integration has reduced uncomfortable edges where hair and dirt used to build. This has allowed me to use the product on a regular basis without any inconvenience. It is possible for me to remove any stray hairs or soap scum in a single swift motion by raising it lightly, and then I can snap it back down without the need of any instruments. In the course of many weeks of taking showers on a consistent basis, I have only been required to conduct this little maintenance twice, and each time it took me less than a minute to complete the operation. There is no rattling or shifting underfoot since the cover is always solid and always snaps back into place. Instead, there is a surface that is always smooth and feels safe under bare feet.
