The Types of Portable Sinks You Can Buy

Maintaining good hand hygiene is very important to help prevent and control the spread of many illnesses. People must be encouraged to wash their hands properly using portable sinks at regular interval of time to stay healthy. But traditional sinks cannot be installed everywhere as they have certain limitations like a fixed basin, need for continuous water supply, plumbing, and drainage system. 

Getting a portable sink is the first step to encourage people for proper hand hygiene and sanitation everywhere. Portable sinks provide high-quality handwashing facilities in environments where the installation of traditional sinks may be impractical, unfeasible or simply impossible. They are also called as self-contained sinks as they have everything needed for operation within one compact unit.

Portable sinks are independent units that provide handwashing facilities with hot or cold running water in circumstances where there is no access to plumbing or running water. They are very convenient to use, you simply unpack the unit from its packaging, keep the mobile sink in the desired location, fill the tank with water and plug them into an electrical socket. They can be set up and operated in almost any location that has access to a power plug. Also, some models come with battery or propane power so they can be operated without electricity too. 

How do Portable Sinks work? 

Whether it is one compartment, two-compartment, three-compartment or four compartments sink they all work in the same way. Within the cabinet, there are two different tanks, one for freshwater and another for wastewater. These tanks are very easy to attach and detach whether it’s time to refill the tank with freshwater or dispense out the wastewater.

The portable sink tanks are easily replaceable and removable as they are made from plastic. The warm water portable sinks contain electric water heater and pump within the cabinet. The water gets heated up to 40 degrees above room temperature or so. The hot water models use battery-operated or propane-powered heaters and the cold-water models come with foot-pumps.
