A sink system and methods of making and using sink systems including a sink basin and a discharge conduit coupled to the sink basin, which is positioned to expel fluid into the sink basin via an outlet thereof. The flow of fluid through the discharge conduit may be activated via a motion sensor or switch coupled directly to the basin or a spacer ring positioned between the basin and the countertop. Controls for adjusting the temperature and/or flow rate of fluid through the discharge conduit may also be coupled to the basin or a spacer ring positioned between the basin and the countertop, or alternatively, to a surface of the countertop.

Multi-outlet faucet systems

A faucet (102) is provided having a faucet body (106) and a faucet head (108), wherein the faucet head (108) comprises a first outlet (110, 112) and a second outlet (110, 112). The faucet is configured such that manual rotation of the faucet head (108) causes the faucet to toggle between a first mode in which fluid is dispensed from the first outlet and a second mode in which fluid is dispensed from the second outlet. Manual rotation of the faucet head may cause one or more valves to be physically/mechanically and/or electronically controlled to control flow of fluid to toggle between the different modes. One fluid outlet may be configured to dispense a first kind of fluid while the other fluid outlet may be configured to dispense a second kind of fluid.
