Hello All
As the title says my bathroom basin is taking an age to drain. It's been in about a year and for 9 months worked fine however the last 3 it's started to drain slower and slower and slower. A blockage I hear you say. Well I've chucked various cleaning products down it with little effect.
I've removed the trap (a Marley Monitor anti syphon bottle trap) and given it a good clean and cleaned the waste pipe with the trap off by squirting hot water down it. It drains away fine and all appears okay. After reassembling the problem remains. The water is backing up fairly quickly suggesting a fault with the trap but I'm flummoxed and can't see what the problem is with it. Whilst cleaning the trap the water runs through it without problems it's just when it is attached to the basin. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Kind regards
Matthew
