Great invention!
I just needed the stopper rod to replace one that had rotted off, but the store didn't stock just the rod, so I had to buy the whole kit. I'm very glad I did! After a little trial and error as to how far to thread the ball onto the rod, I now have a stopper that I can just pull up on to remove it for cleaning and clog-clearing, as opposed to having to crawl under the sink and remove the rod and knurled nut. The stopper is a much larger diameter than my old one, but it fits and seals just fine. Great invention!

Terrible design
Was surprised that this was sold at a legitimate hardware store, would expect to find it at a dollar store. I had to cut the rod as it was too long and was hitting the wall. The pointed rod that comes in contact with very fine (plastic) "ribs" on the stopper will slip over the "ribs" preventing the stopper from sealing. The magnet within the stopper doesn't hold the rod tight enough to prevent slipping either.

Hi Eric, Very sorry to see this review - there are many points you have stated that are truly not an issue with the product design but probably an outcome of your set-up. For example - most pop-up drain rods come with the same length and works for most standard sink setups. However in rare case when distance between the pop-up and the wall is not enough, it is normal to trim the rod to the desired length. The ribs in front of the magnet have nothing to do with magnetic coupling which is designed to be able to lift the stopper even with 10 lb of water. We stand behind this product and I would like you to know that it works and is an industry award winning design. Kindly contact us directly at sales@pfwaterworks.com with your contact info and advise preferred time to call. We will call you to understand the issues you faced and ensure that we address your concern and resolve it appropriately.....Best Regards.....PF WaterWorks pfwaterworks

    Bought this today to replace my stopper on an old Delta sink. I went to install it and completed the full installation which was fairly painless, except for a little confusion at the thought that this magnetic "Speed-Bumped" stopper was supposed to last for years. So i Retrofitted it, by using the rest of the kit except for the stopper. very robust ball rod is included in pack, and this is why its getting three stars. the stopper itself is absolutely useless and sad to think that this would replace a traditional stopper. the way its supposed to function is for the ball rod to attract (Magnetically) to the bottom of the stopper, to keep the ball rod from running up and down, the stopper has grooved "Speed Bumps" molded on it. These are a sad excuse for friction, i wouldnt have seen this stopper lasting fifteen days. 5 stars for the ball-rod, zero stars for the stopper, three star avg. enjoy!

      Easy Replacement
      Everything needed to replace the existing stopper is provided, including three different sized balls, to fit the existing fitting. To adjust the depth of penetration of the operating lever, it helps to shine a small flashlight down the drain....the only difficulty is due to the length of the lever provided, making it a tight fit to get the lever rod into the appropriate hole on the vertical operating link. Once installed the stopper operates freely and is easily removed to clean any blockages. The stopper assembly is plastic...but most are these days.

      Looks Nice and Is an Improvement
      Hard to really tell if this will be clog free - because the little lever inside does protrude a little into the drain pipe - not a huge difference from what i can see. I only needed channel locks for a tool here, but i did have to cut the lever arm about 2 inches because underneath the sink it is really tight and small . A little confusion also resulted because they give a few extra parts and i couldn't tell which part to use, not a big deal - a little trial and error to make it work The part is very light weight and I was a little concern if it was going to drop down when i needed, but no real problem occurred. Not the greatest of instructions, but a little extra patience and some trial and error and this works - very happy with it.

      Clever idea. Seems to be well designed and well executed. The proof will be in the longevity.

      I was very impressed by the this unit, so that I actually went back and bought a second one for another bathroom! Works fine- with added feature of easy removal for cleaning, WITHOUT having to disassemble any linkage or connnectors.

      It works, but have to get used to the idea that to close it, you have to push on the valve, NOT the handle.

      Great idea. Doesn't close 100% but it may with some adjustment. It avoids having to crawl under the sink to disassemble and clean the drain so I love it and highly recommend.

      Plumbing is my least favorite house job to do, even if it is as simple as putting in a new drain cap. I was under the sink for less than a minute. Super easy installation worth the price.

      It fits the original one and removable from the top to clean it. Way better than the original one.

Don't understand the inspection comment - there is no plumbing code requirement for pop-up stoppers - and the pop-up drain we make using this stopper is CUPC listed so if had any issues - just contact us and we can provide copy of the certificate for the inspector. Thanks. pfwaterworks

      Easy to install. The best feature is there is no rod inserted into the drain to collect hair. Very fair price also. The stopper raises and lowers by magnets.
