I think I would look for another brand.

Why another brand please?

Cheap Chinese quality with no guarantee of purity of the copper, and no accurate list of exactly what the impurities in it might be. Which can be a recipe for all kinds of health risks when there is no real standards of manufacturing or testing. Remember Chinese drywall? Lead paint on children's toys? Melamine in infant formula?

When something is too low priced, there IS a reason it's so cheap.

I did not consider it cheap at $500.00

That's absurdly cheap for copper. A good quality copper sink starts at about triple that. That's about the material costs alone. Copper is expensive.

Yes, I suppose it is but it was what I could afford so I got it. It does as well & the same as my friends that paid much much more for theirs. I think it's crazy to pay that much for any kitchen sink--$500 that is.They all do the same thing as far as useful goes & I'm not a big user of the kitchen unless I'm forced into it. If it's cosmetic why pay more? Besides many people up-grade or remodel about every ten years or so & it would seem I would be long tired of it by then so ready for a new look.

There is a very significant difference between the copper sink you'll find at a big named box store, versus an artisan crafted piece! We wrote a 3-part blog article about our findings after comparing the two, which might interest you - Read it online here: http://blog.coppersinksonline.com/bigbox-retailers-vs-soluna-copper-pt1/

I have the one Pegasus from Home Depot. I have not liked it much & would never get another one. I had a nice granite sink prior to getting the copper & many days wish I had it back!

Had no idea it would end up looking so very ugly as it is used! Wish I knew a solution for it other than replacing it already!!
