ShowerShroom The Revolutionary 2" Stand-Up Shower Stall Drain Protector Hair Catcher/Strainer, Blue

Q: My shower drain opening is 3". Will this work?

My plumber says not to use this device. Last winter I had to pay the plumber over $200 to get this shower Shroom out of my walk-in shower drain. After a year of use the rubber got weak and it went down the drain. The plumber says that modern walk-in shower drains are designed to let Hair go down easily.

Q: From the manufacturer, they replace the problematic 1.0 product with 2.0 at amazon? does anyone know when this happens? how can i know what is mine?

If you have a 2 inch shower drain it's almost impossible to make this go down the drain. Leave the two pointy sides resting on the edge of the drain and you can't go wrong.

Q: Will the coverage/lid of the shower be a problem for the showershroom or will it come with its own lid?

It fits directly in the drain under the cover. I simply removed the cover and put the showershroom in, then I just let the cover lay over the drain so I can easily remove it and the shroom for cleaning. It's amazing how much hair this little product collects after washing my hair. I have used the sink, tub and shower shrooms in my drains for several months and have not had any hair clogs since.

Q: I'm confused about how this is slipping down drains. Does it require removal of the existing drain insert, that metal cross bit inside the drain?

if you have the pop up insert on the tub drain, then yes it is required; but this one will not fit in a standard drain as advertised. If the pop up has already been removed you will see the cross bit inside the drain and that part does NOT need to be removed. It’s part of the assembly anyway so do not even try to remove it. You’ll have a bigger problem if you do. It stays. I have tubshoom now that work great ( another brand) and wanted another but this particular brand is way too big...will not fit in the drain. Save your money and get the other brand. This is false andverstising for standard tub drain and no idea what kind of drain the seller thinks it would fit. It wouldn’t work for a shower drain either as those have a flat surface with small holes.
