FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of this sink?

The sink measures 500mm in width and 1004mm in length.

Can I install a waste disposal unit in the Apollonia?

Yes, standard waste disposal units are typically compatible with this bowl design, but check your specific model's requirements for drain width.

Is the stainless steel finish prone to scratching?

Like all stainless steel, it can be scratched by abrasive materials. It is recommended to use soft cleaning tools to keep it looking new.

Does the sink include the plumbing kit?

Check your specific retail packaging; while the unit comes with the drainer, plumbing kits are often sold separately based on local pipe requirements.

How do I prevent limescale buildup?

Wiping the sink dry after every use is the most effective way to prevent limescale from hardening on the stainless steel surface.

Troubleshooting

Visible water spots on the surface

Wipe the sink down with a soft, dry cloth immediately after use to remove water droplets before they evaporate.

Slow drainage in one of the bowls

Check the waste trap and overflow for debris or food buildup and clear any blockages manually.

Loss of shine on the stainless steel

Clean the surface with a specialist stainless steel polish or a mixture of white vinegar and water to restore the finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile 1.5 bowl layout for multitasking
  • Large surface area helps contain kitchen messes
  • Heat-resistant and durable construction
  • Easy to integrate into standard countertop cutouts
  • Contemporary design suits most kitchen styles

Cons

  • Stainless steel can show water spots and limescale
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain shine
  • Large footprint may not suit very small kitchens

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a professional plumber or a confident DIY enthusiast, ensuring the countertop cutout is precisely measured to accommodate the 500mm x 1004mm dimensions. Always use a high-quality sealant around the rim to prevent water infiltration beneath the sink flange. For daily maintenance, avoid using abrasive scouring pads that can scratch the finish; instead, use a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Regularly rinsing the sink after use helps maintain the luster and prevents potential buildup of food particles in the drain traps.
