Hello,

Does anyone here have a bathtub drain integrated into the overflow? I got really interested in this idea, though I think it’s mainly because I assumed I could then skip a regular bathtub drain, possibly also omit the hand shower, install the rest of the fittings as concealed plumbing, and have the whole setup look more minimalist on the wall.

Who has something like this, and what does the configuration look like? Is a hand shower included?
What are your experiences with it? I’ve heard the water drains more slowly. Do you sometimes miss having a regular water inlet in everyday use? (For example, if you want to rinse something out or similar)

I have the inlet/overflow fitting plus the shower. I don't see any disadvantages. The plumber will be able to handle any repairs; nothing has broken in 5 years. A separate inlet would bother me since it also serves as the shower.
