I know this sound baffle pops into the sink, but how do I remove the old splash guard? Does a splash guard and sound baffle serve the same purpose?

Erin: Just reach in and pull out the old splash guard/baffle and press in the new one. Wetting the new unit will make pressing it in that much easier.

Yes, I have no problem with splashing unless I turn it up full blast, which isn't ever necessary. I hope that helps. It's a beautiful sink and we are really enjoying it.

They do splash and with kids I find the splashing is contained within the sink. I did lower the water pressure on all the sinks installed to minimize splashing and it worked great!

Yes. We use Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser. It's a nice looking sink and when we use our garbage disposal you can hardly hear the disposal run. The sink does a better job to muffle the sound than our old Stainless Steel one (the new garbage disposal helps also). You can look on Blanco's web site to see their recommended cleaners. We chose Bar Keepers Friend as the price is reasonable.

We have this sink and do not have any issue with splashing. We have a wall-mount faucet from California Faucet and the faucet stream hits just on the back side of the pop-up drain. We did cardboard cut-outs of the sink and faucet in order to get a feel for scale and the right position of the sink on the top and the faucet on the wall (vertical, horizontal and how far out it needed to extend).

You can use the rubber baffle. We always do. You can also use the strainer portion on this disposal on top and seal off water with the lid that comes with it. FYI - because this is deeper, the disposal will be a bit lower than if you use the cheesy plastic flange that come with the Evolution.

All units make a slight gurgling sound after they are used. The gurgling is the water coming from the drain tube into your drain. If the noise is coming from anywhere else I would say that there is an issue with the unit which I have heard of this happening in the past. If the water draining into the drain is extremely loud there is a few things that you could try to reduce the splashing or gurgling. I would look to see how your drain line is inside the drain it is possible that the angle or the amount that it is sticking into the drain is causing a splash or for the water to hit the water in the trap instead of running down the side of the pipe, pushing the line in a little more so the water hits the side of the drain would reduce a splashing sound. If this is not the issue and the unit or drain line gurgles like there is air inside i would try the following. Make sure all air has been purged and confirm that bladder in tank has not ruptured which you can do with a tire gauge. If that all checks out then the last thing I would try would be to slightly close the inlet valve everyones water pressure varies and if you have really high water pressure it could make the unit gurgle. I have well water but my water goes through Iron filters, water softner, and charcoal filter before the R.O. and I have never had any issues. Hope this helps.

Speaker is encased in rubber or hard plastic material. I see no problem with splashes.

No splash guard. I wear a rain suit (but I live in Oregon so I am use to moisture:-) ) And it IS the best machine out there. I am very pleased with it.

The black rubber baffle is part of your disposal. Those can be purchased for $5 at Lowe's and are specific to your disposal.

no splash guard, even ones that have it are useless IMO, the water supply goes inside and exits in the center of the hub via several small holes. This is a great handheld polisher, I have used many others and Flex tools are top notch! Made in Germany.

It has been awhile since I purchased the sinks and the drains. I believe you only need to know that you need a pop up drain and that there is an overflow in the basin. I got a drain that was from the same manufacturer as my faucets so that the coloring was identical. I can tell you that every time I show off the bathroom updates every one always comments on the sinks. They are so beautiful and functional (which I was not sure they would be), I Have not had a problem with splashing around the outside of the sink or a discoloration of the basin when water is left to dry. They are truly a great purchase and I would purchase them again and again! It has been awhile since I purchased the sinks and the drains.

I do know that you can take your baffles out of any new monster rounds. Or you can take the insulation material out as well. They're not that loud. But they get louder as the insulation material wears down due to heat and usage of the bike. But different baffles? Not that I know of.

Yes, it does. As I mentioned in my review the mounting parts were interchangeable with the old ones so I avoided removing the old collar and mounting bracket. The splash guards were also interchangeable so I used the new one, placing it in the old collar.The new disposer is so quiet you have to listen closely to hear whether it's running. Don't go off and leave it running by mistake!

Splashing has not been a problem for us. I think splashing is related to the water pressure and how hard the faucet is turned on, not on the sink. If you turn the faucet on full blast there will be some splashing.

1. I am not sure. 2. you could use the old clips if you are replacing sinks. 3. call any vendor. Google.

I needed to order an extended flange for my sink and don't recall if it also had a splash guard but I ended up with a spare so I just keep it for that.
