Design Troll Musings #2: The Easy Drain Dot
Drainpans: The final frontier
The shower is one place where we can get away from it all. You just let that hot water wash over you while ignoring your ringing phone, the sirens outside, the neighbor banging on your door and that strong burning smell coming from the kitchen.
But for me the escapism is not enough. See, I don't just want to feel like this in the shower:

Well, help is here from a company called Easy Drain. Their Easy Drain Dot is a huge white circle that you could swear Spock's feet have been on.

And I mean, cutting those eight triangular tiles intersected by an arc should be a breeze on your average tile saw, right?
Added bonus: As far as I can tell, this system makes it completely impossible to remove hair that clogs up in the trap. I think after a couple of years the drain will look like Chewbacca trying to come out of a manhole.
Also comes in orange.

This sounds like it was written by someone who has never done any plumbing or construction in their life.
Hair balls are not the problem. It works just like a Schluter linear drain. Lift off the round section you stand on, there is a strainer basket below that lifts out for easy cleaning. I've installed many similar systems and they are way easier than the old way of building a shower pan.
