I have a 1.5 bowl kitchen sink, fitted Feb 09. The half bowl has a combination strainer and plug. When in the strainer position, no water drains out.
If I lift this out I get bubbles and it starts to drain, sometime stopping before the bowl is empty.
If it stops, I can make it drain again by putting the plug in and taking out again.
