I have the Rohl sink and the Hansgrohe faucet and yes it does splash a bit. I think with that type of sink and a large faucet its inevitable. You have to train yourself to keep your hands low in the sink so water doesn't go everywhere. I do love both my sink and faucet(steel optik). I'll be posting some pictures as soon as we finish up .Good luck!

Thanks so much for your insight :) I'm not so worried about my ability to keep my hands down, but the kids and their friends.... yikes!

Anyone have any recommendations of faucets that have a bigger arc but seem to go down farther so they are less likely to splash?

I find that our Vinnata (Kohler) splashes more in the "spray" mode than the "stream" mode. If your hands are above the top of the sink, splashing is inevitable....just less w/"stream"...in my experience!

I have a high arcing faucet and find I have no splash problem. Usually I find there is greater splash the closer the water source is to the item it's hitting--think about rinsing things under your faucet, the closer you get, the more splash. I would think the amount of splash would more depend on the water pressure. So I'm confused why there would be more of a problem with a high arc than with a faucet that has a lower rise above the sink. I love the large space between sink and faucet because I can manipulate any large item (think big stock pot) under it while rinsing the outsides.

I have zero splash in stream mode (the water doesn't have a lot of pressure and the flow is less than in spray mode.) When I have it in spray mode there is some splash but a lot less splash than I get with a separate hand held sprayer. I tend to use the faucet in spray mode most of the time and have it in stream mode only for filling narrow-necked items. I don't know if the difference in water flow is true of all faucets or if it's unique to our Cucina Andrea faucets.

I like the pull down sprayer better than hand held because I can have both hands free to manipulate items I'm washing or paring when the nozzle is seated in the faucet. One hand becomes unavailable when a hand held sprayer is used so everything has to be manipulated one-handed. I also like being able to leave a large pot on the counter, resting the nozzle over the rim, and letting it fill. I have my hands free for other tasks while I'm waiting and the sink doesn't have to be empty to get the large pot under the faucet.

I've been happily using our 2 hi-arcing faucets for more than 3 years. I wouldn't want anything different

I have the Kohler Simplice faucet, but it's not on one of the new deep sinks. I don't have a splashing problem, but maybe if the sink were deeper? Seems like it would actually keep the water in the sink even better, but that's just guessing on my part.

Thank you so much for all of the reassurance. And the Costco Hansgrohe deal is quite impressive. At that price, if it turns out I don't like it, it won't kill me to replace it!
