I bought a high-arc faucet that's driving me crazy because water splashes everywhere! How is this faucet in terms of water splashing out of the sink?

Hi. I actually bought it for my rental property. I haven't gotten complaints about the faucet. Sorry that I couldn't provide more information.

We installed this faucet in our 5th Wheel trailer so the sink is even smaller than a regular kitchen sink, and we have had no splashing at all. Love this faucet.

The Premier 120438LF Bayview has worked fine for me but that is not a high-arc faucet

It doesn't when on the normal single stream. However it does a bit when switched to the spray as the pressure increases. My sink also isn't very deep so it could just be my setup.

From the base of the faucet where it attaches to the sink at it's highest arch is about 10 inches tall - and it stretches about 5 inches out into the sink area. It does swivel. It isn't a lot in the way but you do have to watch what you're doing if you're using that area of your sink - I was moving a little too fast one time and knocked a pan into the faucet - that blow loosened the faucet - not at the base where it's attached, but where the water comes out - so now it wobbles a bit. But no leaks and water comes out fine. So as far as being in the way - it won't keep you from doing dishes, or washing vegetables etc. - the main thing you have to do is avoid hitting it with a hard blow, otherwise, it will cause it to loosen up. I couldn't tighten it down after that happened with mine - so I figured I broke something. So I leave it alone and just use it otherwise, I'm afraid I could break it further and it would become completely dislodged. I had one before from a local water company that was more expensive - therefore it was more sturdy and heavier. This one is lighter weight and doesn't withstand a blow as well as perhaps a heavier weight faucet. I like the valve that turns the water on - easy to use and lots of good water pressure.

It is a metal faucet, but the underside that would run from the counter to the faucet IS plastic. It doesn't look bad or noticeable, but yeah, it's not ALL metal. We have had 2 of these for a year with no issues.

I haven't noticed that much splashing except when the spray function is on & you have it on full blast. If it does splash just turn down the force of the stream& it seems to be fine. So far it is loved by all.

Sorry, this was a gift I gave my father. As far as I know he has not had a problem with the sink or faucet.

We have the satin stainless which matches our brushed stainless steel sink and love it! The only thing I am not happy about. the way our plumber installed it, and said it could only be installed this way in our house, is the the soap dispenser just clears the edge of the sink - if I had known before hand I would have had only the faucet installed. Enjoy the faucet, we love it, and would very much think you would enjoy it!

I purchased a farmhouse sink which is 9" deep, I don't have any problems with overspray or splash, however I replaced my sink which was 7" deep and even with a normal faucet spray went everywhere. However you can adjust the spray strength by not turning on water all the way, that will reduce overspray. The only problem I have with this faucet is I wish it extended further down. Oh well.

I have seen mixed opinions about the water flow. I personally had this same issue. But I took the filter off the faucet then took unscrewed the filter out of its housing and made sure all the water was out of filter then did the reinstall steps like I was puting a new filter in. I then put the fu lter back on the faucet. Then very slowly turned the water on to slowly fill the filter with water. And behold I got my flow back I had before. I think there was a air pocket in the filter. Give it a try see what you think. i hope this helps let me know.

The spray is not fine and comes out in straight line rather than an uside down cone shape. It's about 1 1/4" diameter spray and doesn't splash. You can also pull out the spray head closer to the sink and it doesn't retract into the faucet.

I haven't had any problems with it. I will tell you that I really liked this faucet and was glad I got it.

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.

I love this sink!!!!! I also have a tall faucet and I don't get any splashing. These sinks are quite large and cover a lot of area, which helps reduce water splashing completely

I have it installed over a single bowl rectangular stainless sink as well. It sits in the middle of my island and is a show stopper. It looks fabulous and not to tall to me. It's sleek design keeps it from being overpowering like so many other tall faucets. I've had this faucet for 2 years now and I still love it!

From the top of the rim to the drain is 5 ⅛ inches. The faucet I installed hits the center of the drain, but the faucet swivels. There is absolutely no splash problem.

We have been using it in our sink for about a year now and it's still working, but since we have high water pressure my husband wasn't able to adjust it properly to get the right amt of water to come out with out making a mess. Not sure if that's a plumbing issue or the faucet is more for a bath tub.

Get a 10" deep sink regardless of whether you get this faucet. Even with a 10" sink you get some splashing if the faucet is turned on full blast. It puts out a lot of water.
