Hi Kim , what sort of filter are you referring to ?

Any advice pls .

THANKS Kim76!! Din know that some sellers/items do not ship direct to Spore. Ok will seriously consider your recommendation! Does this sink "slope" slightly so that water will be able to flow naturally to the hole? The corners are square - easy to clean?

& suprt big thanks for the tap advise. I am not aware of compatibility as well! Any recommendation as well?

No Prob! Now to answer your questions.

Yes, the sink slope slightly. U can see from the photo there are 4 lines leading to the hole, those are formed to have a gentle slope.

The corners are not exactly square. There is a round radius. U can see the photos I posted in the beginning of these thread. Not hard to clean at all.

My tap is Grohe Zedra. Maybe too small for your sink. Below is my sink plus tap.

Actually this thread got quite a number of taps recommended by other. Go thru it.

Hi Twinklebell, below is the filter I use. I had a hard time looking for adapter.

Below is a post from a guy who got his tap from Amazon. His plumber manage to settle the connection. So if you already had bought your tap, maybe u can ask your contractor/plumber to help. Mine don't want to help with my filter connection so I had to find myself.

Item shipped and now ETA 4 March. Cham, I actually don't need it so fast. Kiasu-ism at work. I notice the website now no longer says limited stock - **** - should have ordered later.

Hey lot85, I am contemplating also a Kraus double sink but rounded corners : Kraus KBU22 32-Inch Undermount 50/50 Double Bowl 16 gauge Kitchen Sink, Stainless

Did you order other accessories like the faucet/tap for the sink as well as your vanity cabinets? When yours arrive, can I check it out?

My renovations will start next week and carpentry expected to be end March. So I am thinking to order it only beginning of March.

Thanks Kim for posting the link for the filter

Beginning march should be just fine, as now the peak period has passed...

This photo inspired me for my new kitchen top. Bought an under mount sink over white solid surface.

The only risk as i was told is that IF the sink is damage, my whole solid surface may need to be replaced in order to change the sink!!

Overall length is 25feet!

Thanks for the compliment! :yamseng:

Well, that's why must get a decent thick sink... And of course don't throw the pot into it... Once a while check the silicon between the sink and the solid surface is still intact... If not water might leak into the structure... If do all that, I think you should be fine....

Shower head is fine because it connect to the hose. Only those that connect directly to the USA pipe fitting need to take note.

For e.g. kitchen taps, bathroom taps, shower mixer, water filter (I got bad experience in the filter)

Hi kim76, will i have this problem if i purchase from Taobao? not sure what measurement is China using...

I think it should be fine, since most of our stuff come from China anyway, but I can't be 100% sure. U can search around in the T-blog section.

I used epoxy over the silicon after my contractor finished the installation. Those epoxy that hardens like solid stone/steel type. Good thing abt these epoxy is that mould does not grow on them so easily. Keeps the water permanently away from the cabinet structure.

That's good advice.. U got a name for the epoxy? Since there are so many in the market. I probably will get one to try it out!

Thanks!
