Better draining sink drain?

[jhqpzjg]

Hey Folks,

My wife has long hair. The ‘rod and plunger’ style sink drain she has catches a ton of it, which then creates a nest for lovely black funk to grow and clog the drain about every 6 months. The opening is just small enough that any basket style drain strainer I can find is either too big or too small. I’m considering replacing the whole drain assembly. Any suggestions on a type or design that would make catching the hair or cleaning it out regularly less cumbersome?

Thanks,

Jason

that's life.....I work at a large university.....that's part of my daily work....just disconnect the pop up rod underneath and pull it out only ther option is a commercial strainer
but you lose the pop up drain...so the sink cant be filled with water
