Bathtubs & Overflow Drains, Overflow Drains & Bathtubs, What To Do About Them?

Jan. 11, 2009 - PRLog -- Tim Johannes in Burlington, WI used to work on all kinds of bathtubs. He did bath repairs and bathroom remodeling for a nationwide company. One thing he saw over and over again was a problem with bathtubs overflow drains. I’m sure you’ve seen it too, a rust line that flows underneath the overflow drain. That comes from dry rot under the overflow drain. When dry rot sets in, the overflow drain doesn’t work any longer and it begins to leak. Until Tim’s invention there was no permanent solution to this problem. But now there is, with the Ultimate Overflow Gasket!

Tim knew he could fix this situation and he knew it should be fairly easy. But, like so many other things that appeared to be easy on the surface took him hundreds of hours, thousands of dollars and many tries before he finally found the correct solution. He had his eureka moment in 2008 with his new invention, the ultimate overflow gasket. It looks simple now and could be duplicated but I wouldn’t want to try to. Tim has patents pending all over the place.

In any case, this is a small flexible rubber piece that simply inserts behind your current overflow drain. Because it’s one piece, when the water reaches the overflow drain and begins to fall in, there is no place for the water to go but all the way down the drain. It seems so simple now but I would have to put it right up there with the paper clip. Simple on the outside, but its necessary for just about any office. Tim’s ultimate overflow gasket is the same way and is necessary for bathtubs everywhere.

Think of the money a hotel chain or apartment complex could save in maintenance and parts costs if they all had Tim’s ultimate overflow gasket. If I were a betting man, I’d bet this is a million dollar idea. You can take a look at what this looks like on Tim’s web site at http://www.ultimateoverflow.net.
