I installed a non vented Glass bowl Vessel sink a few years ago in my bathroom with a Push-button umbrella drain. It drained slow. I added a "cheater vent" after the trap and it helped a little bit. I've suffered with slow draining long enough. I've decided to replace it.
I just bought a vented ceramic vessel sink, with a vented push-button drain.
It drains super fast, but leaks terribly. The sink has one vent in the drain hole. The drain has two holes for vents on opposite sides of each other. I have tried both a rubber gasket, or plumbers putty between the sink and the marble counter top as a gasket. I am still getting water between the drain and the hole in the sink that the drain goes through. It begins to leak once the water flow is off.
PS- when using the non vented drain, there are no leaks...just super slow draining again.
Any ideas on how to solve this? I followed sink and drain installation instructions. The prob seems to be that there is no way to seal the vent hole in the sink, to where the vent hole in the drain is. They line up, but water leaks all around it.
thanks,
Joe
