The height should not be the issue. It would be the reach, how far does it reach out over the bowl. And how where the drain is located in the sink. The water should hit the drain.

Here’s my very unscientific take. These high arc faucets mean that whatever it is we’re doing is at counter height or higher and that means splash. Lean down into the sink to wash hands or dishes and you’ll see very little splash. That’s my experience with my faucet and sink. I have a Brizo faucet and Elkay sink, but I don’t think brands make a difference.

Anne, I agree. My DH was saying that out main kitchen faucet splashes all over the place ... not really, he manages to splash water with whatever faucet or sink he is using! ;-)

1. The drain is towards the rear. With off-center drains, the water cannot usually hit the drain since the water would be too close to the edge.

2. The water splashes without anyone disturbing the water flow. So, no, I'm not the one creating the splash.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm buying a faucet--could use the insight!
