Is your marble sealed - Mine is sealed with porous plus 511. I have 2 years with heavy use no stains, lots of etching. However, there have been a couple of times where there appeared to be a stain - basically the stain was sitting on top of the 511 and need a nudge to come off. The first month back in the house I set the crock pot on a cutting board that had a design on it, you know the one where there is a cow for meat cutting, a carrot for veggie etc. At any rate, I had set it with the design face down by accident, and the blue design was transfered to the marble with the heat of the crock pot. No amount of gentle washing with dish soap removed it. Now I'm NOT RECOMMENDING this for your problem, but just to let you know that if your marble is sealed you will get the stain off in all probability, I took a tiny bit of barkeepers friend, tinyiest bit, on a wet cloth and gently buffed the different areas to remove the blue streaks. I tested a spot on the edge before trying this and did not see an etch. After removing the blue "paint" I washed with dish soap and dried the area and then reapplied the 511. The stain came off, and there was no etching. Would I do this now? NO, I would call my fabricator and ask what he recommends. I tell this story to let you know that you will in all likelihood get the stain out if you have sealed it. If you haven't sealed it, I would use 511 after you deal with this problem. Honestly, I have no stains.

Hi Madeline, Thank you for remebering me. I ended up with one Hansgrohe soap dispenser on the prep sink and one Grohe soap dispenser on the clean up sink. We are moving back into the house this week end and will likely hook up the NeverMT either this week or next. I'll let you know how it goes. We will use dawn dish detergent. Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully someone with experience will respond to you regarding the spring mechanism on your pump. If not, try starting a new thread. Best of luck! MJ

This year we've made a 10 pound cold processed recipe. We've split it into 2 x 4 pound recipes and 1 x 2 pound quantities. The first 4 pounder, we used a Coconut FO (my daughter likes it straight, no other scent with it); the second 4 pounder, we used Spearmint EO (I don't really like the Peppermint EO); and the last 2 pounds, we used Yuzu (if memory serves) using the last of that FO. This time of year we like to bring some soap over to friends homes, and leave it by one of their sinks (we dont tell them) they'll know who left them. :D It is a nice gift that is home made, and we avoid gift exchanges that way as well. Just a little something, ya know. Peace and health your way. Best of the holidays! (when they come).

Swap out the air gap for your second dispenser after inspection. On my big single sink I had one hole for faucet, one for instant hot, one air gap, one air switch, and one for soap. Some things you need, but I'm ready to skip the soap next time. I got a dish drainer that hangs in the sink...had to hang over the air gap and disposal. Same with my veggie washing basket. I didn't think all those things LOOKED bad, but they FUNCTIONED badly. Didn't appear that cluttered because my faucet was the size of a rocket.
