I have a Blanco Silgranit super single sink of a similar depth. We installed a Delta Ashton pull-down faucet. So far, I've been very happy with the results. I really haven't had any issues with splashing. I just have to watch using the faucet as a sprayer with the water on full-blast...not because it splashes back out from the sink itself, but because it has a lot of force and splashes when I'm rinsing my dishes. Not complaining here, though, I love having great water pressure and it isn't the faucet's fault!

I'm not sure quite what you mean by splashing - I haven't really had an issue. When it's on it's normal mode there isn't any splashing. As above if DH has left it on spray mode and I turn it all the way on with a dish under it, it will splash! Doesn't splash when just going into the sink though. I like the nice strong spray for cleaning out the sink or insides of things.

iharpie - what make/model is your faucet?

Same as what lharpie said here too. My next faucet, if one is needed, will require you to hold the spray button down if it even offers a spray.

Debbie12153, there are two different features: one is having to hold the spray button down in order to spray, and the other is a default feature in which the faucet will automatically revert to regular flow when the faucet is turned off. The default feature is entirely separate from the feature where you have to hold the button down to stay on spray. From what you and Lharpie are describing, it is the default feature you want. Frankly, you couldn't pay me to own a faucet where you had to keep holding the button to stay on spray. But the default feature, for me, is a must.

I have the Grohe Ladylux3 Plus. You do not have to hold the button for it to stay on spray, and it defaults to regular flow when you turn the water off. There is also a toggle button so that you can choose to go back and forth between regular and spray while in use. The Ladylux3 Plus is a pull-out style, not a pull-down. The pull-out faucets tend to have less splashing than the pull-down faucets. I have never found that the "ergonomics" of a pull-out are not as good, at least with the Grohes, but that is an individual decision.

To the OP - excessive splashing may be from your water pressure, not your faucet.

If you are lucky it is your water pressure. In California they have reduced the water flow rate out of the faucet, very frustrating.

OP here. I'm in California so I don't think water pressure was the issue. In my last kitchen I put in a Grohe pull down (don't remember which model), and it splashed a lot. I hated it, However I love the pull down. I suspected it had to do with the wide diameter of the spray part (what's that called - the head of the faucet?).

I think I'm going to go with Kohler Simplic or Bellera, which look like they have a smaller (not as wide) diameter. Maybe that has nothing to do with it, but I'm going to give it a try.

Thanks.
