on closer inspection there is in fact gurgling. quite bad gurgling too. it gurgles from the basin at end of drainage and also from the bath. looks like i will need an anti-vac bottle trap plus getting the unslotted waste. maybe these two factors will increase the drainage.

the sink waste meets up with the bath waste so do i need an anti-vacuum trap?

no its not adjustable

its a bottle trap like this http://www.screwfix.com/prods/47926/Plumbing/Wastes-and-Traps/Standard-Bottle-Trap-32mm

hmmm. doesnt seem to make much diffrence if i tape up the slots. i need an unslotted waste though so will have to get one and see what happens.

good idea. cheers

BINGO! ba$tads gave me the wrong waste! nice one seco services for your help. i'm sure it will drain fine with a non-slotted. i'm learning! cheers

there is no overflow. http://www.bathstore.com/_application/bathstore/products/basins/washbowls/-karl-square-wash-bowl-66.html?pg=0 it does say here that i shoudlnt use a slotted waste. unfortunately i dont know what that is! maybe THIS is my problem! although this is what they supplied...

yeah but only after quite a bit of air releases. after filling it up i pull the plug out and it will release a fairly large amount of air and then drain normally, no gurgling, creating a decent swirl unitl its drained fully.

seco services/ do you have an idea about my air bubble issue?

ok, on further investiogation the sklow draining could be something entirely different. when i opent the plug it starts to drain normal speed but then stops. if i pull the plug up slightly it releases an air buble. once the air bubble releases it drains properly. is there a reason why...

the most movement i can get in the tap is about 4mm. i can get it so it closes properly but when open it drains very very slowly

thanks for the reply but i think your missing the point. at the back of the tap there is a slot which the plug lever handle goes into. this is only 1" long so the handle can only go up and down an inch. its limited. if it went an inch and a half it would be fine.

yeah. many many times to the nth degree. this is what i'm trying to explain, there just isnt enough movement in the back of the tap. when i disconnect the vertical rod and manually pull the horizontal one up and down it works perfectly. but the vertical rod at its extents doesnt have...

EDIT: it turned out the plug moved fine but i had a slotted waste on a non-overflow basin which was creating an air bubble Hello I am installing a bathstore basin and tap...
