Sink Choice with Granite Choice
Comments (1)Please post a picture of Rich Paradise. I can't find a picture of it on the net....See MoreComplexities & choices of kitchen sink plumbing...
Comments (5)Thanks everyone. I haven't commissioned my own water test but i've read the reports from my water district on quality and I gather there's nothing particularly nasty. But more importantly, i've seen the condition of the pre-filters on my RO system after a short time and i've smelled the chlorine in the shower, so i'm convinced that a filter is needed (I've ordered the Rhino EQ-300). weissman, I checked the owner's manual of my KA KUDE70 dishwasher... Nowhere does it claim to heat its own water, although it repeatedly mentions the need for 120-degree (F) incoming water (stating the lack of which could be the cause for most all potential performance issues :-). Besides, I'll be happy to have immediate hot running water from the faucet without having to let it run for nearly a minute (so I've also bought the pou water heater :-). Still hoping for recommendations on instant hot water dispensers (near-boiling for coffee / tea ). On this, perhaps I could consider a hot-only dispenser (like the KitchenAid) if I could find a good main faucet with an integrated cold filtered water output - it seems I've seen such a thing somewhere (I'm also shopping for the kitchen faucet fixtures). Regarding the post-whole-house-filter drinking water filter, I'm still undecided... I like the purity & taste of the RO-filtered water, and although I probably miss the benefit of fluoridated water, I'm not otherwise worried about mineral deficiencies or other claims of health risks from drinking RO-filtered or distilled water (but I really don't like the wasted water aspect of the RO filter). Aquasana has offered a deal on their better under-sink drinking water filter (based upon my purchase of their Rhino unit), but I can't put it in front of the instant-hot tank or an ice maker... just over-thinking stuff, brian...See MoreRecommendation for sink. Franke Sink? Good choice?
Comments (3)I have the Franke Orca in Fireclay, which is a single bowl. I also have the grates. I love, love, love the fireclay. It's been in 8 months and it cleans like a breeze. I've never had to use more then dishsoap and a sponge to get it clean. No chipping or staining of any kind. The grates really help to keep pots from clanking on the bottom. I also have the higher grate which takes up 1/2 the sink so I can drip dry clean dishes on the grate....See Moreposted on kitchens as well...but WDYT about my kitchen choices.
Comments (10)Don't choose or order the backsplash until you have installed the cabinets, flooring, and counter top. I think the backsplash is great, just not with this counter top. I think the counter top is great with the cabinets. I just don't want you to be stuck with something that you can't return. Please wait until later for the back splash....See Moreelizht
