Right, finally got around to writing this up. Short answer: I made the changes I wanted to, it drains fast enough, I'm happy! Helpful photos for @JBR or anyone else that wants to know: Mine was actually a Simpsons STHFW6190 High Flow Waste, (one of the great comedy names ;-)) but I imagine...

Thanks for the continuing interest! The pot is positioned tightly because it eight fins sticking on the outside that click into slots in the waste housing. The gap between pot and housing looks pretty small (2mm?). The reason I'm focused on the relationship between the tube and the pot is that...

Thanks for the replies! Apparently (according to the various women in the house) not using soap products isn't an option ;) The waste isn't accessible for a while (runs under a tiled floor for seven feet). @Groovejet I was thinking along similar lines, so this sounds right. But, those same...
