Portable Sinks in General |
What is a portable sink?
A portable sink is a self-contained and fully-functional sink that does not require any plumbing or installation as well as being portable. The compact size (of most models) makes them easy to transport in a small truck or van and most models (except model PSF-1000) come with safety-lock casters for easy rolling. |

Are portable sinks difficult to install?
Not at all. In fact, that’s the whole key behind portable sinks: they’re self-contained, easy to use and other than filling up the water tank and plugging it in, there’s no installation whatsoever. |

How do I empty and refill the water tanks?
You simply take them out of the sink cabinet and either refill them or empty the waste tank then replace them inside the cabinet. We have a folding hand cart that you can purchase to assist you in this process. We also offer a flex tube which connects the fresh tank with any standard faucet to make it easier to refill the fresh tank. |

How many uses does each sink provide?
Each 6-gallon tank provides an average of 150 hand-washing uses before it needs to be refilled. The number of hand washings increases if the unit includes an optional motion sensor, quick flow or foot switch. |
