Unfortunately, when rinsing dishes with the spray, water does splash a lot. Probably not as much because I have a 9 inch deep sink but I still have to pull the head down into the sink to help minimize this. I think all sprayers do this. I had a separate sprayer with my old faucet and it did the same thing.

We have this set up in our Kitchen Sink, our Sink is 11 inches deep. When we have the spray on, it does splash and when rinsing items, i often find the spatter gets on the coutertop and my shirt, so often i will use the spray only to clean off veggies and use the stream setting to rinse dishes. I will say that despite this nuisance, we are VERY Happy with our purchase, the Faucet has held up wonderfully and has a clean attractive appearance. Good Luck!

I have this setup in my laundry room andI haven't had the problem with the over spray/ splatter. I have a different setup in my kitchen that sprays all over and I'm considering replacing it with this faucet. Hope that helps.

It does if you have the faucet fully open. reduce the flow to solve the problem.

I've had this faucet since Oct 2013. My granite composite sink is 10" deep. The spray is powerful and does get onto the countertop if it's fully open. You learn to regulate the spray or pull the head down into the sink. The faucet is beautiful and only requires 1 hole in the countertop. Love it!

With high pressure and full open valves it will spray all over. The wide spray is very fine and therefore it splashes.

It really depends on the depth of your sink. If you have a standard or shallow depth then yes it will because it has good power. The deeper the sink the better

It can be either. I have my undermounted with the granite coming even to the edge of the actual sink. You can have it backed off to the edge of the flange and mount your faucet to the sink itself but still have the countertop over some of the deck flange too. -it is an awesome sink!

The new EL Mustee sinks come with a pull out faucet. I saw this at Lowes but no brand or model of faucet was listed of stamped on the faucet. It looked cheaply made but the good thing was it pulled out and also wasn't too wide for the top of the sink. You need one that doesn't extend over the ridges on top of the sink where it mounts. When it goes over the ridges or lines that are where the faucet connects, you can't clean under the faucet cover plate. It is very hard to find a faucet that its cover plate doesn't extend past the flat spot where the faucet mounts. The flat spot on top of the sink is very narrow, (the area that you drill to accomondate the hot and cold water valve piping. The new EL Mustee sinks come with a pull out faucet.

The faucet pulls out and down from it's holder with ease. It will cover your 32 inch wide sink with ease. There is a weight that attaches underneath the sink to the black hose that will aid in retracting the hose back in to the faucet.

I purchased a farmhouse sink which is 9" deep, I don't have any problems with overspray or splash, however I replaced my sink which was 7" deep and even with a normal faucet spray went everywhere. However you can adjust the spray strength by not turning on water all the way, that will reduce overspray. The only problem I have with this faucet is I wish it extended further down. Oh well.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. You can see where the faucet pulls out. The only time I pull it out is when I need to use the sprayer & need a longer extension like cleaning the sink. Otherwise, I rarely pull it out.

Yes. There is a slight gradient directing water to the drain. Good question I lived in an apartment with a sink that didn't have the gradient and it made clean up difficult. The gradient was one of my criteria in selecting the sink. I would like to bring your attention to the fact that the side walls of the sink slope in slightly so that the hole in your joinery face will need to taper slightly. I had a pre-cut joinery face, so I added a small scotia to cover the wedge.

I used it on a cream granite and left a small residue. The residue is now gone so I don't think you should worry about it but just in case test it on an area where most people can't see. My installer left behind the pieces where the apron sink was to be installed so I test it there first to make sure no issues. If you have any un used pieces test it there first if not, just go where you got the stone and they typically have broken pieces they don't mind giving away. Hope all goes great!

I'm guessing you are asking what would be best, pull out or pull down. I have used both. I bought this faucet for a stainless steel sink right under window sill. Another high pull down would not look good over window in new home. However the pull down was easier to use. This Krause is good quality, very heavy duty, no leaks or drips.

We have this sink and do not have any issue with splashing. We have a wall-mount faucet from California Faucet and the faucet stream hits just on the back side of the pop-up drain. We did cardboard cut-outs of the sink and faucet in order to get a feel for scale and the right position of the sink on the top and the faucet on the wall (vertical, horizontal and how far out it needed to extend).

You can toggle between spray and stream while the water is running. The spray is vertical but but as others have stated fairly wide. We recently renovated our kitchen and we love the faucet. I would definitely purchase this faucet again.

We had new granite counter tops installed the same time this was installed and when they did the cut for the sink they said we only had the option of installing the faucet on one of the corners. We purchased a Delta Faucet 19912-SSSD-DST Deluca Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet, Stainless and we had the facet on one corner and the soap dispenser on the opposite corner.

I haven't noticed too much of a back-splash than a normal spray would put out. Our sink is deep, so we do not have a lot of water outside the bowl.

We have a Moen Old World Bronze faucet with this sink. We undermounted the sink under granite...it looks great. Be aware though...if you have hard water this sink spots easily.

Yes, it does. We have it on a cast-iron utility sink outside our back door. We are very happy with this faucet so far. We've had it about a year, and we don't use it every day, but when it's used, it's for lots of work and does well.

I bought it for a small prep sink in my kitchen island where I needed a srayer. It works well but it's sometimes hard to turn the faucet from spray to regular flow. You twist the nozzle to switch back and forth. The first one I bought leaked under my cabinet and the company replaced it free of charge with a new one.

It seems to me that it drains like most sinks. I usually use my sprayer to easily wash down the sink. I too am very careful with water as we use a cistern for our water.
