Yay!! Ordered my faucet & sink- but which soap dispenser??

15 years ago

I am SOOOOOOO excited. Just ordered sink (Ticor S305) and faucet (Hansgrohe Talis S pull-out from Home & Stone)!!! Major progress, very satisfying!

BUT: I don't find a Hansgrohe Talis soap dispenser anywhere... what do people match with it? It has the thin, rod-style handle, and I got it in chrome.

Hi. I just put a bid in on ebay for the Talis S high ark pull out from Home and Stone. Can I ask you what you paid? I also put in a bid for the pot filler. Included in my bid was the Hansgrohe soap dispenser 40418800. I got it because although it doesn't match the Talis faucet, I wanted it to match with the steel optik shine. There is a very similar soap dispenser made by KWC that matches the Talis. I'll try to post a link to the picture.

Here is a link that might be useful: KWC soap dispenser

Thanks Kiki-

Ouch that soap dispenser is pricey!!

I ordered the Talis pull-out, which was listed for 315. I paid 275 on best offer... BUT I just noticed that in my notes from last week, the price was 229 to start!! So obviously they raised the prices. Wish I had noticed that before I made my offer, as I would have offered less! Bummer :( Still, my faucet budget was 250 so I didn't do toooo badly.

There was a Talis high arc on eBay last week for only 69, but it ended. I think that H&S's was about 317 in steel optik last week, if I am reading my notes right.

8'' Widespread faucet holes, but 1-hole faucet w/soap dispensers?
Q
Comments (9)
Old post but I have a similar issue. We bought a house with a bridge faucet (so just two holes in the marble top.) The faucet is now leaking and can't be fixed. To replace it, bridge faucets START at $350 and go up from there to the $1000 price range. We also have another sink on the other side of the bathroom, so if you replace one that will be roughly $400-$700, we probably should replace the other. The second option is to drill a third hole, for a standard wide spread set up. But for a third and budget option, I was looking at some single hole faucets, and putting a soap dispenser on the second hole. I am assuming you would put the water faucet on the left hole, and soap on the right (that is what comes to mind for a right handed person) but I am not sure. This is a home we will move from in about 3 years give or take. Trying to think budget, aesthetics, and function. And would a home buyer think "what the heck?" or say "awesome." You cannot see the other vanity area as the shower and toilet area are in the middle of the bathroom, so I am thinking I can have one faucet on one, and another set up on the other, as long as they are in the same bronze family and similar style (these have an old vintage look to them.) Thoughts?

We bought a Grohe faucet and at lowcostplumbing.com but it was still a nice piece of change and the $19.95 soap dispenser at Lowes. They look great together. I asked the question about the placement too. I had always had my on the counter dispenser on the left, and I had to really think why I did. I figured it out. With my right hand I turn on the water, and with my left I always would press down the soap into my hand. With my new dispenser, I didn't think about one thing, the spout is a little longer and at first, using the my old "moves" from the on the counter one, I squirted the soap all over and missed my hand. I wish it was a little shorter, but I've figured it out. I'm learning new "moves". Oh, I also have it so it hangs over the sink so it squirts into the sink if I make a mistake. I did fill the bottle that came with it, but I'm going to order a Never MT ASAP. At that time, I think I'll fill it with dish soap so it can do double duty. Good luck! Be careful, my hole was drilled too close to the sink and they had to come back to trim some sink off under the counter so it could fit!

Soap dispenser or no soap dispenser?

Can anyone recommend a dispenser with a LONG spout? The one we have now (Price Pfister) has an utterly useless 2" spout. I have found a 3 7/8" spout, also 3 1/2", but am wondering if there are any that are longer. The new sink is 10" deep. We weren't going to get a new soap dispenser, but after reading this thread, I thought, "I don't want ugly bottles on my new granite!" I could do a rack mounted on the sink cabinet door, but I think the dispenser is neater :-) It just needs a long spout so it can actually squirt dish soap into the pots, instead of dribbling down the side of the sink. Will definitely get a NeverMT--so glad that I heard of it here!

Thanks, everyone. Now can anyone recommend a place to buy a chrome soap dispenser? (modern looking). A quick google search led to an acceptable one for .....65 dollars!!! Why are these so expensive?? Mustbnuts, color suggestions for backsplash please? I am thinking light gray or a zen green. Helou, yes, KA Dishdrawer. It is properly installed (and pushed back) now. And we have been using it up a storm. I like it for the convenience. MY dh finds that it doesn't have much room - we keep things separate because we keep kosher, so we have to load the meat dishes in one, the dairy dishes in the other. That is the reason we bought it. But if you can have more fleixiblity, you will definitely have enough room to put large loads. ONe caveat: It is EXTREMELY difficult to install. Our plumber couldn't do it, the first installation team for ABT couldnt do it, we had to get the elite custom kitchen team from ABT to come out. I would only recommend buying it IF you have an installer who has installed it before! thanks for all the help, people. After all the money and the aggravation, i really need to hear that it turned out okay. Yours ever, LC

Congrats Staceyneil!! I was so happy when I finally ordered my sink and faucets too! One less thing to worry about!

Did you ask the folks at Home & Stone what they recommended to go with the faucet? Do you have a local plumbing store where you can go look at their displays to see what they paired your faucet with for a soap dispenser? What did they pair it with on the Hansgrohe site? Sometimes on plumbing websites when you click on a particular faucet they will pop up smaller pictures recommending items to go with the one you are viewing.

Good luck!

I got the Hansgrohe soap dispenser, brushed, and it is sitting--never been used-- in a drawer. I replaced it with a Kohler one. The spout was so short that it did not reach over the granite and to the sink. I would have been squirting soap onto my counter all the time. I know someone must have messed up somewhere. Anyway, I am happy with the Kohler which has a longer spout. Also, the Kohler spout is metal while the Hansgrohe is plastic--for all that money!

Thanks all- great info on the Kohler vs. HG dispenser, fin1, thank you. I had a Kohler at my old house and it was great. I think I will just wait till my faucet arrives and then go to some stores and see what matches best! (and is less money. I still say $100 for a soap dispenser is outrageous!)
