any experience with a waterfall type faucet?

12 years ago

I'm considering a Delta one for my pedestal sink, but am a bit concerned about how the water flows. Anyone have any experience with them? Do they really work like a waterfall, or does the water just sort of go all over the place?

Thanks...

We have a similar one with our vessel sink in the powder room. We like it alot--it's a neat feature to watch the water come down the chute. It's a 'Wow!' factor. It does work like a waterfall (nice stream of water) and you control the water pressure with how far you open the water lines coming into the faucet + the water control on the faucet itself. This helps control the splash factor. The water is in no way as "forceful" as the standard aerated faucets we are all used to--but then it doesn't have to be as it's not aerated. I noticed on the Delta site the tall single hole version is available in stainless--very similar to brushed nickel...

It's called the Nyla. It only comes in chrome, is sold exclusively at Lowe's, Or so Lowe's claims and has not matching accessories. DH loves it, but I'm a bit skeptical ( plus I wanted brushed nickel). I wish I could see it run, but.....any experience or thoughts?

I ordered a Kraus Fire Red Galaxy Sink from overstock. It was beautiful, packaged well and came with everything including the waterfall faucet, water lines, mounting ring and pop up drain. It was made very well and was 19 mm so very heavy and substantial. I loved it but the color was not red but burgandy so I had to return it. After, I ordered 2 more, a ruby red and a clear glass. The clear glass is Kraus but the ruby red is Vigo. The Kraus is far superior but for my design, the Vigo red matches better so I am keeping it even though it is only 1/2" thick. I can find a few closer matches but they are more like $600 and up just for the sink so for under $200, it just can't be beat. If I had to pick a different sink, I did fall in love with the millenium Kraus faucet also on overstock-sooo cool but just the faucet is more than I paid for the whole set. I would not hesitate to buy again but none are installed yet so I am hoping I really LOVE the waterfall faucet as it is going in my master. I am doing all white rectangle tiles with red glass accents so the sink and light fixture will really be show stoppers! Just wish the contractors would hurry up-sigh. They work a day and then gone for a week, another day, gone for another week-ugh.

We bought the kitchen sink and faucet set. Now a year after installing we have a leaky hose near the pull-down sprayer. I removed the hose and took it to Lowe's (where we bought it last year) and Home Depot. Neither could find a replacement hose. I call around a few local plumbing supply stores and they recommended contacting Ruvati company in Texas to get the part number. I had to open a warranty ticket to find out they have no replacement hoses and they do not have any information on parts. Sink, faucets and accessories look good, but with the time I've sunk into trying to find a simple part, I wouldn't recommend anything of theirs. Stay with a company that sells replacement parts for what they sell.

Yes, I still like the Virage and haven’t had any discolouring issues. I have the polished chrome finish with 2 widespread faucets, Roman tub filler with spray, slide-bar hand shower, wall-mount rain shower head, robe hook, 2 towel rings and the paper holder. The only piece I have regrets about is the paper holder as it is still the tension type, not the lift type I have in every other bathroom. That said, it’s a very very minor regret - just that men seem more likely to replace a roll on the lift type.

Hello, Can't comment on the delta but we have a Kraus waterfall faucet that goes with the vessel sink. We've had it for the past two years and it works wonderfully. Our guests are always commenting on how cool it is!!! Ours is emerald green...attached is a link for you to see! Good Luck!

Wondering if a waterfall faucet might be good for a kids bathroom? The flow direction and strength - in theory - seem like they would prevent splashing. Our toddlers always turn the faucet on full blast and place their hands right under the faucet (and above the sink) so water splashes everywhere. It seems like a waterfall faucet could mitigate these issues. Any thoughts?

Get a regular faucet. Have your plumber install an aerator with a restrictor to 0.5 gallons per minute. When the kids get over their splashy period, replace it with a regular aerator with a 1.5 or 2.2 gpm flow rate.
