does anyone have problems with draining? or standing water in sink

I've used this sink in my last two remodels and love the way it looks! The water drains best if you point your sprayer at the wall, rather than the base of the sink. It would help the design if they pitched the base a little more steeply. The Vigo looks just like the $1200 Koehler version, but that's probably the difference, for an extra $800 you getter better draining? I'll take the trade off in savings!

Hi, we haven't had any problems with draining or standing water in this sink at all.

Not me. We put this in our new kitchen in August 2013. The only thing I would change is that I waited a few months to buy the grate that fits into the bottom of the sink (keeping dishes about an inch off of the bottom while letting water and food rinse down the drain). I would definitely recommend making that small investment - but we've loved this sink!

Yes. The slope is not great enough. Water drains, but very slowly. It is painful. And not very hygienic at all. The sink is gorgeous, but it's a hot mess when it's used. Sadly mine is under a $4000 slab of marble so I'm stuck with it.

As far as I'm concerned, there are zero drainage issues. The sink won't be completely dry after it drains, but no sink is. There is no standing water, if that is your concern.

That is correct. We've had ours almost 3 years now and have had absolutely no problems with this sink. Known others who had one for a lot longer period than us and never had a problem.

Customer service told me to soak the filters longer, at least an HOUR. (I submerge and lay horizontally in large bowl of water). I hold the filter vertically, right side up inside the sink, slowly rotate filter while tapping against the side of sink. Try at least a couple of rotations of tapping. I always do this and have not had one issue since.

Mine drains pretty often certain times of the day. Not every 20 seconds but sometimes it is more often than at other times. I haven't studied it but maybe it is when I open the door and get ice.

I have the same problem and I fiddle with hose and tilt the basin to the side where it drains,and the water comes out. You will never get all the water out,and you need to turn the basin upside down in your tub or sink to get the rest of the water out.

I have no problems. I dump immediately after brewing and rinse well with the sink sprayer. Cleans it perfectly. If something does stick, I use a toothbrush.

Is the drain hose hanging I've the sink high enough? (Once you get it working, consider buying a lint trap to zip tie around the end of the drain hose. You'll be surprised at how much lint collects. Not the best for general plumbing.) Good luck!!

I haven't had any problems either. Turn it upside down on your dish drainer to make sure it dries thoroughly.

I had the same problem when using it in a vessel sink. The rubber washer kept water around the drain causing hard water lines, so I returned these and ordered some Mobile Home drains which was a perfect solution. They arent the same quality but it looks better.

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. We just moved (the reason for the new sink) and have not had internet access until today. The sink does drain perfectly. It does not hold water in the bottom. Hope that helps

no, I haven't had that issue, but I had a carbon filter on sink for drinking as well. Use it as whole house filter due to having a cistern.

Ive had mine for about a year now, no issues what so ever. I also am bad about leaving it in a sink full of wet dishes. I liked mine so much I bought one as part of a gift for my father in law. I hope this helps!

it's never happened to me but you might want to fill it with CLR or vinegar then invert it so the liquid doesn't come out the drain holes. Let it sit like that for 1/2hour. That usually works for other hard water deposits.

Yes that was the unfortunate thing that happened with us also. We went to lowes and got a new one to replace the one that came with it. Also we had to go back in and reseal so it worked with the plumbing. Kind of a pain. But we love the sink. Good luck !!

I have never had a problem with the drain hose clogging, nor any of my friends with this product, I use this table mainly for cleaning fish, of course if you let any fish guts lay in the sink, it will slow drain up but there again try cleaning fish in your home sink and see what happens. If the drain is clogged maybe its bent or kinked as its a flexible hose.
