Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your SINKVINE sink, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Slow Drainage: Check the basket strainer for debris. If clear, inspect the plumbing for clogs.
• Water Spots: Ensure the sink is dried with a soft cloth after each use, especially in hard water areas.
• Scratches: While the sink is scratch-resistant, minor scratches can occur. Use the bottom rinse grid to minimize direct contact with heavy items. For deeper scratches, consult a professional for stainless steel repair.
• Leaks: Check all plumbing connections and the drain assembly for proper sealing. Tighten any loose connections or reapply plumber's putty/sealant if necessary.
