Thanks!! Is there an overflow on the sink? The drain they recommend requires an overflow, I think. Would any basic drain be better?

Yes, there is a built in overflow - it is the round silver feature on the right hand side of the sink just under where the faucet is attached. We bought this sink for our very small half bath and everyone who see it loves it.

It is normal for the drain. It will be nice to find a way to recycle the drained water for the garden!

I am very happy with this dish drainer and have not experienced any of the slight problems others apparently have had. You can use this drainer to the right or left of the sink, as you can easily rotate the draining mat around and position the metal drainspout over the sink. It is also possible to use the item with the shorter edge toward you, so that the drain setup goes narrow yet deep on the counter -- or the other way around such that the longer side faces the user and the setup is not so deep, in case you have a narrow counter. The spout can be installed either way. Totally flexible.

You will need to purchase the drain parts - all of them, including the part that you see from the top - as well as a faucet (obviously). I think you can choose to have a pop-up drain cover or a strainer, but i thought the strainer was wiser given that there's no overflow! I had a little bit of a hard time finding a strainer that I liked the look of (my local Ace hardware store only had strainers that looked very utility-sink), but I found a nice simple, modern chrome one at Lowes in the end.

Yes. The only thing you need to pay attention to is if the sink has an overflow or not. The drain type (overflow or not) needs to match the sink type.

the only problem I have is how to drain the hose. I thought the hose would drain into the kitchen sink . but in stead I had to buy large buckets . I only do family & friends (free) so it is a sink . But I only do one person a time every couple of weeks . I have it down to one bucket per person . So when they leave I empty the bucket. I wish I had a better place for hose to drain.

It has been awhile since I purchased the sinks and the drains. I believe you only need to know that you need a pop up drain and that there is an overflow in the basin. I got a drain that was from the same manufacturer as my faucets so that the coloring was identical. I can tell you that every time I show off the bathroom updates every one always comments on the sinks. They are so beautiful and functional (which I was not sure they would be), I Have not had a problem with splashing around the outside of the sink or a discoloration of the basin when water is left to dry. They are truly a great purchase and I would purchase them again and again! It has been awhile since I purchased the sinks and the drains.

Mine lets it COMPLETELY drain tho in my opinion, slower than my sink beside it. The circular edge on mine has some rubber stuck on underneath it but does NOT make a water tight fit so water does drain thru it too. I will say the fit is perfect for my sink drain and makes a MUCH quieter garbage disposal underneath this sink. Just for the noise reduction alone, I'd recommend this.

Hi Lakiesha, It drains because there is a drain slot on the side. That hole needs to stay over the edge of the sink otherwise the water runs out on the counter. The inside needs to be cleaned out occasionally but that's easy. Of many, many drainers I've tried this is the best!

I haven't seem the overflow in any other colors. You can change the drain to any color you want but the overflow comes with the sink and it is silver. The silver button is just a plug that clips into the sink, so you could simply remove it all together (which one we ordered didn't come with it anyway) and it looks just fine to me.

It doesn't have a drain. It's kind of open though, like smaller at the base and the top opening is bigger, so it gets some air. I haven't found it too bad with the mold and such. it's nice, and easy to clean.

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

Hi...When water is draining off the dishes,etc there is a small hole that allows for draining into the sink. I don't know how you would change this since it's the feature that makes this rack unique in that it doesn't need to have anything under it. It's very well designed, a bit small however, but it works for me. Good luck! Gabriel

Funny you should ask today...we are just installing it this afternoon. We actually do not have a disposal. I am sure it would be standard to instll it to the drain just fine. It is a very nice sink and we are happy with the purchase. Looks awesome.

John E. I bought two of these Ceramic sink and love them. I to had the same question because there is no overflow valve.However had a plumber install and he showed me how it all works. The drain will drain fast as soon as it hits its limit. He showed me that when you fill it up the water will make a burb, so to speak, and then the drain valve opens up and drains really fast. I bought these for my 6 and 4 year bathroom for an update and they play in them all the time and I have not had a problem. Did I mention they look fabulous and for the price you cant beat them. Goodluck

Overall, I love the sink! It drains fine, but you do have to spray water in the corners to clean it well.

Hi: If you are using a vessel sink, it is a good idea to use the mounting ring. It keeps the sink off the counter top, it is aesthetically pleasing and it helps to clean under the sink. The vessel sink sits on top of the mounting ring. As far as an overflow is concerned, you would use a drain with overflow only if your sink has an overflow. It depends entirely on the type of sink you are using. Usually, vessel sinks do not have an overflow, whereas under mount and drop in sinks do. So I suggest you check your sink. Hope this helps. I will add that this is a very good quality drain. I have two in my house. Thanks. Hi: If you are using a vessel sink, it is a good idea to use the mounting ring.
