That could be a very good drain. Since you will never sit in the tub for an hour, and even if you did, you would not notice a 1/8" drop in the water level, do not worry about it. : I just leak tested my new tub and I have a question. I lost about 1/8" per hour through the drain. The drain is lever type and has a plunger that blocks the drain at the drain/everflow tee, instead of using a stopper in the drain itself. Is this a normal amount of leakage through the drain, or do I need to readjust it? Your help is appreciated. : Tom
