Good hygiene made portable
Most plumbing fixtures are heavy, complicated and require assistance from a specialist if anything goes wrong. In schools, this often means that basic hygiene like handwashing is limited to bathrooms. Can you have a sink without plumbing? With portable sinks, the answer is a vehement and convenient yes! Portable sinks and handwashing stations allow clean water to be accessed anywhere, indoors or outdoors. These types of sinks are useful in a number of situations but in school spaces especially, the benefits are significant.
Portable sink benefits
Teachers, students and staff often find that a portable sink can enhance educational spaces beyond encouraging students to frequently wash their hands. In fact, there are eight incredible benefits to adding one to any learning environment:- Zero installation. As a self-contained unit, portable sinks require little set up, eliminating the added cost of hiring a plumber for installation. The components for operation are housed beneath the basin and are safely secured from tampering.
- Mobility. Four swivel casters ensure free-standing sinks are easy to move both inside and out. Locks on the wheels keep it in place during use.
- Customization. he range of options available for portable sinks means you only pay for what you need. Choose a portable sink with hands-free operation, a built-in soap dispenser, dual basins, splash guards, with or without hot water and more.
- Low maintenance. Easy to follow cleaning instructions keep the sink in prime condition. Just refill the water basins when needed and your sink will be ready to go.
- Convenience. Save time and energy during clean up after activities and projects. Handwashing stations avoid having everyone trek down the hall to use the restroom sinks.
