Picture with the extension tube removed and the filter slightly pulled out. I didn't call make up or room service to clean everything before these pics were taken. I need to see what else I can come up with. I'll look for the actual gasket, shaft collar and the filter part numbers.
Generally, I clean it when it's dry with a vacuum cleaner. Their is one nearby for the dryer lint.
That tub is a dual tub about 60 years old. I don't know if you would call it concrete or not. The top edge is metal.
I had to replace the original "laundry faucet". It's operation is downright silly "made cheaper" and it causes problems with other people using the sink too.
With the original faucet, UP was on and DOWN was off. The new one, it depends if it's the hot or cold water. You never find that out until you buy one. The faucet is too high so I made a removeable extension. The replacement was an emergency (from Lowes I think) and the only way to replace it was to turn off the water to the entire house. I did find the OEM faucet online somewhere.
There is a shutoff that does laundry sink, washer and outside faucet. The washer and outside have independent shutoffs and the entire area was re-plumbed. I silver-soldered a pipe to the thumb-drain-valve for the outside faucet, then to a small valve and 1/4" plastic tubing. The drain then empties directly into the laundry tub. The line meanders through an unheated brick, insulated, and dual pane windowed porch. The line can and has froze.
