I was lucky that I already had a floor drain that was easy to tap into. My sink is just one of the inexpensive double basin plastic jobs. Underneath it is a 5 gallon electric hot water heater that uses 120v so it was an easy hookup. Paid $25 used for it 10 years ago, still going. The faucet set has a hose thread on the spigot so I can attach the hose when I want to use warm or hot water. Next to the sink is a standard hose bib which is what the hose is normally connected to. That's mounted chest high; much more convenient than if it were lower.

The only thing I'd change would be to have a faucet set that included the side sprayer which would be convenient from time-to-time.

10 years ago I paid a plumber to put it all in because I was swamped with a big job and needed the sink. He charged $100 for the sink, $25 for the hwh, and $150 to run about 50 feet of copper pipe and install everything. It was a bargain for the luxury!
