How is the water pressure with this item? Does the spray reach the top of the side walls of the sink (the place where it meets the counter)?

In my case, it doesn't quite reach that far, but I attribute that to the height of the faucet. My previous one was tall and curved, high enough to clear a fairly large utensil-attached to that one, this spray would easily have reached beyond the top of the sink walls.

I have two of these. One on the kitchen sink and one on my bathroom sink and I love them. The water pressure is very strong on both sinks and I can switch the nozzle to spray mode if I need a sprayer. No regrets from this purchase....

Both answers will depend on your sink, but I can tell you that I did not notice any decrease in pressure using this attachment, and in my regular-depth sink, this sprayer reaches the top of the sink walls with no problem.

No, it doesn't splash all over. It must have a built in restricter, my water pressure is about 60 PSI. I'm very happy with it so far, very solid feel, good quality product.

If you push the handle all the way back to the hot position or pull it all the way forward for cold. I would say the distance is less than an inch in either direction from measuring at that ring that you can see at the base of the faucet where it attaches to the counter mount. I have a granite surround which measures 5 inches from wall to sink edge, and my faucet is mounted in the center of it with approximately two and half inches behind and two and half inches in front from centerpoint and the handle does not get anywhere near the wall. I put a wooden spoon handle behind my faucet just now and it appeared to not go deeper than the actual water spout portion of the faucet, certainly not more than half an inch behind the actual faucet stem that transports the water.

I have never had a problem with water flow on the normal flow or spray. The goose neck does come out pretty far though, so you need a good amount of space between the front and back of the sink to avoid water spray outside of the sink.

Hi Jen, No, the faucet does not go to a spray. It remains in a regular flow. I prefer that, as it is easier to regulate the pressure, and does not splash. It works very efficiently to rinse the sink, as well as my hair when I wash it in the sink, and my teeth after brushing.

My spout hangs over the edge of my 6" deep sink approximately 2 1/2 inches. When I turn the water on full force, it makes contact with the bottom of my bowl approximately 2 1/2 inches from the end of the faucet. So the total from the back of my bowl to where the water lands is 5 inches. My standard water pressure is 60-65 psi.

About 16 feet, with no wind, the bottle pumped up to the max, and the nozzle adjusted for a tight stream. I use mine to spray a weak bleach solution on my house to get rid of mold (I live near the coast and mold is a constant problem), so I'm frequently trying to spray as high up the walls as possible. To get to 16 feet you're shooting such a narrow stream that it takes a long time to cover any significant amount of wall. On ground-floor walls you can widen the spray a bit and get good coverage. For the second story walls I resort to using an old stainless steel water fire extinguisher that I pressurize with my compressor. Works like a charm but goes through the water-bleach-soap mixture like, well, a house on fire. The garden sprayer is much more precise and economical in it's application of the bleach mixture. I've heard these sprayers have some use in gardening as well, but I have no personal experience of that.

Be prepared for a wet countertop as this thing sprays water everywhere. I think you're better off finding a faucet with a nozzle that comes straight down. Also connection from retractable spray comes lose at times and leaks.

I haven't had any water pressure problem with this it works awesome. The spray nozzles inside the unit makes an increase pressure. Great product

Mine does the way it was installed. Although there is not a lot of length in the neck of the faucet for reach. It reaches approximately 12" off center to each side. I have a 28" basin and I can just DIrect the spray to the sides of the sink with the sprayer.

We have this set up in our Kitchen Sink, our Sink is 11 inches deep. When we have the spray on, it does splash and when rinsing items, i often find the spatter gets on the coutertop and my shirt, so often i will use the spray only to clean off veggies and use the stream setting to rinse dishes. I will say that despite this nuisance, we are VERY Happy with our purchase, the Faucet has held up wonderfully and has a clean attractive appearance. Good Luck!

I suppose it depends on just how huge the sink is, but, in my experience yes. One thing I have noticed is that the water flow is much stronger when triggered by the sensor than if you manually turn the water on with the handle on the side. I find this not a major problem, it's just really odd. I'd prefer an equal spray pressure.

My sink is about 5 inches deep. Splashs only when dishes piled high in sink. You can have the tap not come on full blast by turning the little lever up at the tap. Then when you turn on the water full, it doesn't come out with as much force. I just took a video with my phone so you can see. I will try to attach it

We have this sink and do not have any issue with splashing. We have a wall-mount faucet from California Faucet and the faucet stream hits just on the back side of the pop-up drain. We did cardboard cut-outs of the sink and faucet in order to get a feel for scale and the right position of the sink on the top and the faucet on the wall (vertical, horizontal and how far out it needed to extend).

It doesn't splash. I've lessened the water pressure slightly so even if someone opens the faucet fully, there's no issue of splashing. It really is a great piece. I've installed three and we've had no issues with them. Not sure why I would spend hundreds off dollars more when this not only serves the purpose but looks just like the more expensive ones.

Good Question! I have about a 9" deep sink. As someone already said, it doesn't splash when it hits the bottom of the sink but the water pressure is so strong (great in my opinion) that if you are washing a cup up close, it will definitely splash if you have the water turned on all the way. It's an adjustment. It's easy enough to learn not to turn the knob on full. When you are used to that force of water, you'll never go back.

It doesn't reach real far but I have a 60/40 sink and has plenty because it is mounted in the middle close to tubs. It doesn't have extra pull out hose like a spray faucet.
