The unmounted sink rocks on the counter. Is this normal and will the sealant fix this problem?

Mine did not. I will say when we mounted it we used a crystal clear silacone to seal the plunger. It worked and I'm really pleased with it.

Yes. Ours is recessed into the countertop and did wobble a little but once the sealant was applied it was fine. Now it's strong and sturdy and we love it!

Mine does not rock. I have used sealant and it has worked quite well. I mounted mine on tempered glass that I had made.

Ours is the same and I can assume it has to do with a potential tilt in the bottom of the sink so it stays flat. Our sink is pretty flat all across and the protector sits at a slight angle but it does not interfere with anything that has to be done. It is a sink protector and it does a good job for that.

No, it doesn't! I put mine on the sink and counter and it has never been a problem for me though! :) I hope that helps!

When this sink was orginally installed by the plumber they left it sitting on the granite. It moved fairly easily. I called my plumber back because I was worried that the sink moving would damage the pipes. He applied clear silicone caulk to hold it in place. It does not move at all and you cannot see the caulk.

No concerns about this fabulous sink!!!! I have put it in two kitchens and LOVE it. It is a very heavy gauge of stainless steel. If I ever do another kitchen I would definately put this sink in again. Just buy the sink and enjoy!!! I am a cook so I am constantly using this sink, love love it!!!!! Mary Ann. p.s. I am looking at the picture of my sink, and just want to be sure that you knowl that mine is a undermount sink.

I have a regular kitchen counter. Please look the specification of the sink. You can get it's accurate measures.

It has dawned on me that maybe the reason you aren't getting good results...is old porcelain layered on metal. It may have worn thru to base ?Just a reminder that sinks are one of our least expensive items to replace in kitchen :) Un-less you desire one of those top of the line "farm sinks".Anyway, good luck...just thoughts I wanted to share.

I had wall studs exposed, so I mounted a 2x6 between the studs before sheetrock to give it something strong to hang on.After all sheetrock and paint done I just mounted brackets on wall w screws into that board. Culk and the plyming keeps it from moving around. Another option would be lag bolts w washer.I to found the brackets hard to understand, more the casting on the sink fault though. Just remember people, kids, have a tendancybto lean or rest on sinks.. so make the mount strong.Love the sink, works great!

Mine is an undermounted under granite. The sink on the right is 8" and the sink on the left is 9 1/2" deep.

Thank you for your question. This is an over mount sink. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Mine is under mounted with granite counter tops. It is fantastic !! I think you can have it either under the counter or over, pretty sure it can be done both ways. It's a big sink and I can't tell you how many people make comments on it . Just get it, you don't regret it. I tried to attach a photo but can't for some reason. I'll send you the photo if you send me your email.

Could be mineral buildup. It happened to mine along the seams at the bottom, but it took took two years rather than two months for it to happen. You might have particularly hard water. We have one of those filters at the sink, so the water is less mineral laden. You'll have to get a cleaning kit from Simplex since just about every other product on the market messes with the tin. I wasn't happy about paying an additional $40, but Simplex customer service told me I'd get more than 20 cleanses out of it. And it worked like a charm.

I've bought the sink in May 2014. No problems with dents or rust. I'm a single retired guy that doesn't use it all that often. Don't know mfg.

I don't believe so. My sink is halfway in a 6' run of countertop and it looks great. I'll see if I can dig up some pics. It's a beautiful sink with no scratches after 3 yrs of use.

I think the "above counter" reference is a mistake. The title itself says "wall-mounted".Mine is wall mounted. The sink has two holes in the back for lag screws. Just make sure you're attaching it to solid wood (cross-member) behind the wall. Hope this helps.

I have stainless sink and it looks good, but my sink is an undercounter placement so you don't really notice.

No, I don't have that problem. My water pressure is very good, so I doubt if water pressure is the problem. I have 2 suggestions. First, make sure their is a gasket between the fixture and the counter top. Second, I had to tighten internal parts before the fixture would not unscrew itself and come apart. So you could have something loose inside. For all accounts, I completely disassembled it and used loctite in a problem area.
