Pull Down A faucet in which the faucet head pulls straight down toward the bottom of the sink. For example, Kohler Vinnata, Kohler Simplice Pros Supposed to be better "ergonomically." The movement of grabbing the faucet head and pulling down is a more natural movement than grabbing it and pulling it out. It has to do with how you have to grab a hold of the head. Can fit taller pots, pitchers, etc. under them b/c of the high arc Look cool! :-) Cons Not easy to do "hands free" pot filling when a pot is on the counter next to the sink (as opposed to in the sink) If not careful, more splashing than a pullout or non-pull faucet Some here have noticed water pressure problems w/high arc faucets. If you have low water pressure to begin with, the fact that the water has to travel an additional 8 to 10 inches (depending on the height of the faucet) further reduces the pressure Some posters on this forum have reported that they don't like that the pull-down faucet is so close to the rear side of the sink. It means they have to reach their arm farther into the sink to get it, and that distance, combined with 4-5" of granite in front of an undermounted sink, can be hard on the back (side sprays are even worse, though) Some posters say they have more splashing behind their sinks. Pull Out A faucet in which the faucet head pulls out toward you. For example, Kohler Fairfax Pros Easier to fill pots on the counter next to the sink. You just pull the faucet head out, hook it on the side of the pot, and go! Then when full, just move/slide it over, no lifting it out of the sink. Less splashing than a pull down Lower profile, especially useful if you have a faucet in a small area (where a high arc would overwhelm) or if you have limited height to work with (like under a cabinet) Cons Unless you have a very deep sink, cannot fit a tall pot or pitcher under it Side Spray Pros May be less expensive to buy a non-spray faucet + side spray (it's all I could think of, sorry!) Cons Spray cannot be "locked" on, you must always hold down the lever to not only stay in spray but to keep the water flowing at all Sit very far back on the counter Personally, I have both a pullout & a pulldown...a pulldown at the main/cleanup sink and a pullout at the prep sink. The original reason I got a pullout at the prep sink is that it's in the corner close to the cabinets above and I wanted a lower profile faucet. But now I'm glad I got it as it's easier to fill pots on the side. The other thing it's easier to fill is the bucket for clean water for the fish tank! When it has 5 gallons in it it's too heavy to easily lift out of the deep sinks we have and then take it out...it's much easier to fill it on the counter and take it off w/o additional lifting up. Oh, and don't be "fooled" by display faucets. The heads will either be dangling or fixed. Some places lock them down so people [kids] can't play with them. Most, though,...

I was finally able to find a faucet that seems to fit without breaking the bank, though some on here have mentioned that they don't find Pfister to be that high quality. I did order this Pfister faucet, but looking at the back of the new faucet, there seems to be an area where a hex key could fit where the u-shaped part of the faucet meets the bridge. I looked that old faucet and there is a also a similar area on the old faucet. The leek seems to be coming from where the the U-shaped part meets the bridge. Would I be better off repairing this old faucet? Maybe it just needs a new rubber o-ring or something? Any ideas? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Pfister-Port-Haven-2-Handle-Bridge-Kitchen-Faucet-in-Polished-Chrome-GT31-TDC/301201915?cm_mmc=Shopping%7CG%7CBase%7CD29B%7C26-3_FAUCETS%7CNA%7CPLA%7CTop_Sellers%7C71700000032893889%7C58700003859506767%7C92700030997156045&gclid=Cj0KCQjwyYHaBRDvARIsAHkAXcuKpwHO5q1kvqhHUJL8fV1XNaG4Pi7mam-MVHetuIjzTLK9KctDVtwaAh1UEALw_wcB&dclid=CNr067-OjdwCFchKXgodIzcDzQ Another thought is this Kohler faucet but it's nearly a grand and I honestly don't know how long I will be in this house for, so maybe it's not worth it. https://www.homedepot.com/p/KOHLER-Purist-2-Handle-Bridge-Kitchen-Faucet-in-Vibrant-Stainless-K-7547-4-VS/203780881

The most common 3 hole vanity top typically has a 4" distance between the outer holes. This dimension is measured from the center of one hole to the center of the other, thus the term centerset. That type of hole drilling needs a 4" center set faucet which would Something like this The other common spacing is often just called widespread, or 8" widespread. Widespread faucets look like this If the holes on your top are drilled for a 4" centerset faucet, I think the 2 extra holes might be too close to the single hole faucet for the soap and lotion dispenser. The plate to cover the holes is called an escutcheon. When we redid our bathroom we wanted an 8" widespread faucet but our plumber mistakenly told the fabricator we were using a 4" centerset. We didn't catch the mistake until the top was installed. I really dislike centerset faucets so the plumber offered to replace the countertop but we didn't want to waste it so we used an escutcheon and a single hole faucet instead. It's not what I preferred but it really doesn't look bad. Here's how it looks Hope you can figure out a good solution for vanity/faucet.

24" is huge so I can see that would lead to two on most islands/peninsulas! They are lovely. I like that you don't think I need to put one over the sink. My guess is that my arch wanted to put one over the sink and so she brought them in tightly in order to avoid the cabinet on the right. If i have more flexibility with the sink (as you imply), I would keep the one on the left where it is and then shuffle the other two so they are evenly spaced but further to the right. I wasn't sure if there was something odd about not being centered on the sink. Would that idea work, seem normal?
