Since earlier posting about the Deep Water Bath Plug, I’ve been on the hunt for a companion drain clog screen for the tub.

The simple metal screen ones are easy enough to find, but I feel that they quickly fill up with gunk that is difficult to remove. Eventually it ends up blocking most of the water going down the drain so you’re standing in three inches of water while taking a shower.

The “Stop a Clog” Drain Protector from BedBathBeyond looks like an interesting alternative. Sold in sets of two, it is interesting in that it is partially made of rubber plastic and partially of metal. You actually use it like a suction cup to stick it down on the drain. It stops most hair and a lot of the other junk, but because the holes on the oustide are larger it lets enough water through so it doesn’t pool at your feet.

It’s treated with mold prevention (Bio Shield) and you can throw it in the laundry every so often.
