Understanding the Hidden Overflow Advantage
When water reaches a certain level in a traditional ceramic sink, an open drainage hole is usually visible near the top of the bowl. The Calypso series rethinks this detail by incorporating a hidden overflow channel. Think of it like a hidden backup drain in a bathtub, routing excess water safely down through the plumbing system before it can spill over the rim. This clever engineering keeps the interior walls of the D bowl completely smooth and uninterrupted, making the basin much easier to wipe down during regular weekly cleaning routines.
Installation Guide
Measure your existing countertop opening carefully to ensure it matches the 17 1/3 inch length and 21 1/4 inch width dimensions before cutting or placing the basin.
Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the underside rim of the ceramic basin to create a watertight seal against the countertop surface.
Lower the drop-in basin evenly into the countertop cutout, pressing down gently to secure the sealant and wipe away any excess material immediately.
Connect your chosen four-inch faucet and drain assembly according to the manufacturer instructions, taking care not to overtighten the ceramic connections.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing Rinse the white ceramic surface with warm water after each use to wash away soap residue and toothpaste splashes.
Gentle Cleaning Use a soft sponge or microfiber cloth along with mild liquid dish soap to clean the porcelain finish regularly.
Stain Prevention Avoid letting harsh chemicals, bleach solutions, or abrasive scouring powders sit on the ceramic surface for extended periods.
Hard Water Care Wipe down the bowl with a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar to dissolve mineral deposits safely.
Scratch Protection Avoid using metal scouring pads or abrasive brushes that could dull the smooth gloss of the white glaze.
