Delta Faucet Pilar Kitchen Soap Dispenser for Kitchen Sinks, Stainless RP50781SS

Works great and the finish matched my faucet. Very pleased.

Converted a kitchen sink hole from a water sprayer to this soap dispenser (replaced our faucet with one that had a built-in hose) and it was the best thing we ever did. The soap is so much more convenient, and we don't need to clutter the nearby countertop with a separate bottle of liquid soap. The Delta dispenser is easy to refill & the bottle holds quite a bit so we don't have to refill it too often. The dispenser was also easy to install. Definitely a worthwhile purchase!

The first thing to know about this soap dispenser is that it is fully plastic. The finish is a metal look but it is plastic & lightweight. Is this a bad thing? I'm thinking not. I have some plastic soap containers that I've been refilling for 8 or 10 years that still work and I have had several metal in-counter soap dispensers fail in that time. I went with Delta because I have had a Delta soap dispenser in my kitchen which is still working fine after 10 years. In the same period of time I have had 1 Moen and 3 Kohlers fail in my bathroom, not to mention they have not worked well and been a pain in the neck to use even before they fail. Over time, the metal soap dispensers react with soap, turning it green, and then it clogs up and stresses the pump and the pump fails. Delta lines their metal soap dispensers with plastic so you don't have that problem. This one is all plastic, as I noted, but it still appears to have a second plastic lining where the soap comes out. It works smoothly and easily and looks great. As you can see, the stainless steel finish is slightly lighter than my older Delta stainless steel bar faucet in the photo but it works for me. The soap dispenser has a good reach so it clears the side of the sink and it's easy enough for my grandkids little hands to operate. A possible down side is that the neck of the soap bottle is the narrowest one I've seen and this may make it more difficult to fill. I haven't had to refill it yet so I don't know.

This is an exact match to the original that broke. It came with all the attachments so I just unscrewed the original and replaced it. You will not regret your purchase.

Here's the trick to refilling this: use a drinking straw.No, really... the straw creates a vent that lets air escape from the bottle as you're pouring dish soap in. Without it, the thick liquid soap forms a bubble in the bottle neck, turning everything slow and messy.What you'll need:* You'll definitely want a funnel. You can use Delta's official RP30395 Funnel, or anything else that fits.* A short length of tubing that will fit down through the center of the funnel and leave room to pour soap around it. A bendy straw is ideal (see below). I've also had good luck with a short length (~8") of 1/4" drip irrigation tubing.Here's what to do:1. Remove the pump from the dispenser, and put the funnel in its place2. Insert the straw/tubing down through the funnel. You want the bottom end of the straw to be inside the bottle -- below the neck, but above the level you'll be filling the soap to. And you want the top end of the straw to be above the top of the funnel, where you can hold onto it without dropping the straw into the bottle. (DON'T drop the straw in the bottle -- it'll be hard to get out.) If you use a bendy straw, you can hook it over the edge of the funnel and not have to worry it falling in.3. Pour soap into the funnel AROUND the straw (not into the straw). The soap should flow right down into the bottle.OK, now that you know how to refill it, here's the review: this is a good, but not great, soap dispenser.Pros:+ Looks good with Delta faucets (at least at first)+ Because it's plastic, won't corrode like some metal pumps do+ Easy to install (if you already have a hole in your sink)+ Easy to refill from above the sink (if you own a straw!)+ Delta lifetime guarantee -- free replacement if it breaks (and genuinely friendly and helpful phone reps)Cons:- Finish starts wearing off the base after a few years- Soap bottle is not as large as some alternatives- The plastic pump tends to break (after ~4 years for me; other reviews report different times)- So you'll probably need to use that Delta lifetime guarantee (and sit on hold for a while before you get to speak with a genuinely helpful phone rep)

Kept us from having to buy a completely new kitchen faucet.

I purchased a beautiful Kohler faucet with an under the sink dispenser. An air gap was drilled on the granite for the dishwasher. My new dishwasher goes straight into the garbage disposal, an air gap is not required. I think no problem matching a stainless steel under the sink dispenser is a piece of cake. I can always use the 2nd dispenser for hand lotion, now I won't purchase the fancy bottles of soap and lotion for the kitchen counter or have to refill them. This frees up the kitchen clutter all I have to do is search and order an extra dispenser from Kohler. No such animal. I go to home improvement stores to purchase a simple dispenser, the look of these ready to install products look like crap. I don't like crap,not for my newly remodeled kitchen. I figured Kohler would manufacture accessories for their products, no faucet company does.The search went to every water faucet company imaginable. Sometimes what I think will be easy is difficult, and what I think is going to be difficult is easy. I ordered a dispenser online what looked to be decent and reasonable. I sent it back and paid a bit extra for this dispenser. I'm glad I did.
