Package Contents

• 1 x Your Day Mate Shower Drain Cover (Ø 112 mm outer diameter, with 2-hole fixing on the underside, chrome-plated ABS plastic).

Installation

1. Preparation: Before installation, verify that your existing shower drain is a Viega Tempoplex model from the 2001-2006 series. Confirm it has a two-screw fixing with approximately 81 mm spacing between the screw heads.
2. Remove Old Cover: Gently remove the old shower drain cover by hand. Twist or lift it as necessary.
3. Clean Drain Area: Thoroughly clean any debris, hair, or residue from the drain opening. Pay special attention to the area around the fixing screws and any existing O-ring gasket to ensure a clean seating surface for the new cover.
4. Position New Cover: Align the new Your Day Mate shower drain cover with the drain opening. The two holes on the underside of the cover are designed to align with the existing screws in the drain.
5. Install: Carefully place the new cover into position. Press down firmly by hand until it sits securely. No tools are typically required for installation.

Operation

The shower drain cover features an integrated filter with two rows of pins on its underside. These pins are strategically designed to effectively catch long hair and coarse dirt, preventing them from entering and clogging your drain system. Water will flow freely through the gaps between the pins, while debris is retained on the cover for easy removal during cleaning.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure optimal drainage performance and hygiene.

1. Regular Cleaning: It is recommended to regularly remove the shower drain cover by hand (as described in the Installation section). The frequency depends on usage and hair accumulation.
2. Clean Filter: Once removed, clear any trapped hair and dirt from the filter pins on the underside of the cover. You can rinse it under running water or use a small brush.
3. Clean Drain Area: While the cover is removed, clean the drain opening itself, including the fixing screws and any visible O-ring gaskets, to prevent soap scum or other buildup.
4. Re-install: After cleaning, place the cover back into position, ensuring it is securely seated.

Cleaning Agents: Use only mild soap and water for cleaning the cover. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome finish.

Troubleshooting

• Cover Does Not Fit:
  • Verify the outer diameter of your existing drain cover and the spacing between the screw holes. This cover is specifically designed for Ø 112 mm covers with 81 mm hole spacing.
  • Confirm your drain system is a Viega Tempoplex model from 2001-2006. This cover is not compatible with Tempoplex 1991-2001, Tempoplex 2006-now, Domoplex, or other systems.
• Slow Drainage:
  • Remove the cover and thoroughly clean the integrated filter pins and the drain opening. Accumulated hair and debris are the most common cause of slow drainage.
  • Ensure the cover is seated correctly and not obstructing water flow.
• Cover Appears Damaged/Discolored:
  • The cover is made of chrome-plated ABS plastic. While durable, harsh cleaning chemicals or abrasive materials can damage the finish. Always use mild soap and water for cleaning.
