Does anyone have any problems with splashing using the standard model. Is the aerator worth the extra cost? can it be purchased at any hardward store?

These sinks are very common in Japan and it is also common for the Japanese to put a base of decorative rocks or pieces of glass in the sink to deal with splash back. But of course, depending on how they are placed, this could make the splashing worse...

We havent had any problems with standard model ,but I'm guessing your water pressure setting would make it a problen if turned up too high.

You can control the water flow volume by turning down the water supply valve. Granted, it takes longer for the tank to fill. I haven't found that to be a problem. It's such a small sink, that no matter what, you're going to have some water splashing around it. Not enough to be a problem though, especially, with the reduced flow.

I have only installed the sinkpositive that does not have an aerator and have received no complaints about splashing. The aerated version was not available at the time of my order or I would have ordered it simply because I prefer a wider/ aerated stream to wash my hands with as opposed to a narrower/ high pressure stream. As far as purchasing an aerator after the fact from a hardware store, I doubt you would find a aerator for a 3/8 spout and I have no idea if the faucet is threaded under the 3/8 outlet, so you might be hard pressed. I hope this response is helpful!Andrew/ Apex Plumbing

Good luck! My tank leaked on mine and I was unable to find just the tank. This is reportedly a problem with this model. My faucet was ok, just the tank....would have purchased something else, but due to no clearance on the splashback am stuck with this model. If you find where you can buy just the tank, I would appreciate your sharing, since the lifespan is only about 3 years from what I have read. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Hello friend, I've never owned the wild whirlpool or water wheel version but I can tell you this since I did a lot of research on all of them before I purchased the big splash waterpark. The deal breaker for me (besides the fact it got the BEST reviews over all of them) was that all the parts simply snap into place rather than screw in. Over time the screws will rust and you wont be able to ever disassemble it. Also, it doesn't leak. It was very easy to put together and my daughter LOVES playing with it. All the reviews on this product were right! Hope this helped. Heidi

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).

Yes, you will need a tall faucet. The one you name should be a good fit. We haven't had a problem with splashing because the sink is quite large, but our faucet is the pour spout type. Could be different with an aerator spout if your water pressure is high.

The aerator comes out easy, but the spray assy. seems to be fixed. It appears you might have to use a very fine gauge wireor drill bit and clean any plugged holes manually.

Im sorry to say but you have wasted your money. Return it now. I had mine and it was one problem after another one. The reason why water splashed out is because it is not built right.

I wasn't satisfied with the product, but I use it with other tools that help avoid splashing due to wild hairs. I didn't bother to contact the manufacturer. They would have that answer. Call their tollfree number. it's probably on their website.

Yeah, a tall faucet is required for this sink. But, the sink size is large, we don't have any splash problem. Also, we have tap pressure set on the lower side, so it eliminates any splash if there is any due to water pressure.

Yes, I have no problem with splashing unless I turn it up full blast, which isn't ever necessary. I hope that helps. It's a beautiful sink and we are really enjoying it.

I have two different versions of this model and I'm very happy with them. If you just flush it might not release a full force of water. If you hold the hand down, however, it seems to provide much more force of water. Try holding it down. You could also call American Standard and talk to them for some advice.

I use mine for a Bearded Dragon so there's no splashing going on. I would have to guess NO. Contact the manufacturer to make sure.

I did buy a round plastic tray from Party City to set it on for any splashing. I love it.

I have not had any problem with anything splashing through the center hole. It's only an inch in diameter, so no issues.

No problem with water splashing. Perhaps your sink is much more shallow than mine though. I love the look and quality of this faucet.

Hi, I purchased this item for a friend and gave it to him. Honestly I didn't open the box but I think it was the splash not the spray. Sorry, I couldn't be anymore helpful as it was difficult to figure out I realized.
