Shower Draining VERY slow

If I were home, I would try some drain cleaner, and then go from there. In this coach, I'm not sure if drain cleaner is a good idea. The shower drain metal piece seems to be very solid in place. Not sure how to remove it. Is there an easy fix ? Thanks.

I would first look for something like this "As Seen on TV" hair clog removal tools. http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/turbo-snake-drain-hair-removal-tool/ID=prod6000973-product?ext=gooH...
If that does not help you could have a more serious clog downstream which would need a longer snake to access. It's also possible that your grey tank vent has become dislocated or clogged (check the roof).
What I post is my 2 cents and nothing more. Please don't read anything into my post that's not there. If you disagree, that's OK.
Can't we all just get along?

I am suspecting hair. No plunger on this trip but will get one tomorrow. If that does not work, I'll see if I can get the drain out. Thought there might be a known , not to harsh chemical fix.

Take the chrome cover off and clean the gunk out. I have had to do this a couple of times. Takes maybe 5 minutes. Kind of gross the hair and crud but things like are necessary at times.

Does it have a push open / push closed drain plug. Just fixed mine tonight. Had to unscrew the drain plug and remove the hair that was built up underneath it.

I would be willing to bet there is hair clogging the drain. We had one like that and work it over with a toiler plunger and it was balls of hair.

Do you own a sink plunger? Is your holding tank empty or near empty?
