Hello, We live in an apartment with the average kitchen sink. What sort of water hook-up is required? I assume the drain just vents into the sink.

We live in an apartment also, and Danby provides you with everything you need to hook it up to an average kitchen sink. They give you a fitting that mounts on your faucet, and a quick disconnect on the hose so you can get it off easily. It vents into the sink, but we have to be careful to weigh the hose down or the water pressure forces it right out of the sink.

I just bought this sink and my husband installed it. And, no nothing special needed. However the disposal is heavy and awkward to get it installed. We finally ended up using a small jack to balance disposal while making sure it was secure. Good luck!

What do you mean? I dump mine into a nearby sink. If you mean continuous drain, you'd attach a hose to the back of the unit, and that could go into a drain.

It drains directly into the sink. I love this thing. Even with a automatic dishwasher I use it daily.

The drain is in the middle of the sink, so there is a slight gradation down, but not like a bathtub that will have everything drain. Water doesn't pool, but food particles do. I find that I have to regularly wipe the sink bottom to clear any bits of food that settle after rinsing dishes. I'm still happy with the sink as there is so much space ... but with more space, there is more wiping!

that should work fine. we had a sink that we tapped into the drain line, but your idea should work. we had no problem other than operator error and got good service when we did need help.

It would work fine if the landlord doesn't mind and additional hole drilled into the sink lip. You might be able to get a chrome plug to fill it in, but I would check on that first. The whole unit, other than the dispensing faucet, is hidden under the cabinet.

Kitchen would be difficult, I think. I don't know how you would connect the drain hose to a kitchen drain. Would probably require a plumbing pro. Obviously, you cannot use the sink drain because water runs downhill. We use ours in the bathroom, draining it into the shower drain, securing the hose in position by loosely closing the shower door. You could also use a bathtub.

This model has only one outlet (cold water only). I use it for filtered water only (it is hooked upto a filtration cannister.) It is for drinking water only and not suitable to fill a sink to wash dishes as it would take too long.

We installed in an efficiency apt. which has a shower and sink. But I guess it would depend on how long you took a shower or ran water in the sink.

It will hook up to kitchen sink if you remove the screen strainer, and leave the water valve off, you can just use the sink faucet to turn water off an on! You should not hav to purchase anything else!

Best advice is contact a plumber. In my area the plumber told me it had to vent out an exterior wall according to our building code. They couldn't use my existing vent.

It has a drain hole. They should NOT be plugged. This water should be allowed to evacuate the cabinet.

That depends on the kitchen design. You should take the measurements and see if you have enough counter space for the filter. Regarding the height, you will fill the reservoir from above, so you will need enough vertical clearance to allow you to pour the water in. Some small apartments will easily accommodate the filter. Others lack adequate vertical clearance. If you are flexible, you can put the filter in a pantry or closet or on a side board where you have room. I hope you can find room for it. You will love using it.

Yes and no: You CAN connect to your sink, but you'll probably (almost definitely) need an adapter or two, and you might need to connect where in a cabinet or something. Also keep in mind you'll be knocking poop into your sink; it won't always wash right down and could ultimately clog your drain. Backspray might also wind up places you don't want it. That said, there *should* be some access point somewhere to your toilet for emergency shut-offs. Sometimes there is a panel behind or near the toilet that will be covering the shut-off valve. There's a shut-off somewhere, you just need to find it, although it might be inconveniently far from the toilet itself. You might also considering hooking up to the sink in your kitchen if you have a disposal; same problem with reach and cabinets and adapters, but worth consideration. For that matter, you can hook up to ANY pipe bringing water into the house; just needs to be fitted and practical.

Well, this is made to go onto the main water pipe feeding your house, so you may not have access to that. For an apartment maybe one that fits onto your faucet might be better.

Also you need plumbing for sink if that's your question. These are fixtures that need to connect to separate water lines (hot-cold) not included and plumbing for water to drain into sewer Don't get cheap plastic lines, the metal braided is the best Good luck
