Does it have to be installed under sink?

Nope...can sit topside or be installed under...comes with all hardware for both.

No. It sits on the counter or you can hang it on the wall close to the sink. But it needs to be near your sink as you attach it to the faucet. Mine has been faithful for over 2 years now. Like it a lot.

nope there is another unit that goes under the sink. This is above sink model.

There are only practical considerations that would limit its location. For example, you'd just need more tubing, etc. I guess you could have it just about anywhere. It's just more simple to put it under the sink.

No, the sink is completely covered by granite except the bowls. You would need a "drop in" style if you want to install a tap on the sink itself.

Absolutely! The tray underneath fits right up against the lip on the sink so that it will drain right in. We are very happy with this purchase!

I had to look it up on YouTube. Go to youtube and lookup "Installing an Under Sink Water Filter System" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwCvH7TilsM

I believe this is an undermount sink. We installed it under the granite countertop.

We installed it as an undermount and put the smaller section on the right and the larger section on the left. As an undermount sink, you can install it either way, because the faucet gets installed directly in the countertop, rather than in the sink itself. We are very happy with this sink so far.

Hi Christina.Unfortunately the sink is designed specifically for that.I'd not recommend to install it any other way.Angel

John, I believe it can be installed under the counter but you may have to provide some ventilation at the rear of the unit.Graham

I don't see why not. It has a plastic water collection tray that it sits in when it's placed on the counter. If you wanted to put it in the sink you wouldn't need the tray underneath the rack. I love my rack. It's perfect for a small apartment with a galley kitchen.

I was remodeling my entire kitchen and the contractor did have to rework the plumbing. Though I'm not sure if it was required because of the depth of the sink. I absolutely love this sink though. I recommend it highly.

Yes we do, it's an easy install, and works great.it does take more space under the sink though.

The unit is pretty big but it should fit in the cabinet under any standard size sink. I installed ours on the right side on the back wall. We don't have a disposal unit, but they're usually on the left side.

We had this sink installed onto a polyurethane sealed butcher block. The sink sits on top of the countertop, with a hole drilled underneath for the drainpipe and water hoses. Our carpenter (we did not install this ourselves) used some type of clear caulk underneath the sink and around the bottom rim where it meets the countertop to hold it in place. The sink comes with instructions for drilling the holes.

Yes, the under structure had to be reinforced to accommodate the weight, not a big deal. I love my sink. Everyone that comes to my house comments on it.

I was advised that this sink should only be installed when using solid countertops. (Mine is granite - so no problem).

It is part of the unit and it does have to be connected otherwise it would leak. The sprayer could stay under the sink if not wanted.
