Sink for giving - habitual comfort with the minimum efforts

Only a relatively small percentage of country houses can be compared to a house within the city limits by the degree of livability. In most suburban areas there is no water supply and other amenities of civilization. But this is not a reason to abandon the usual comfortable conditions, making a minimum of effort, you can get the opportunity to wash the dishes in hot water, and wash and take a shower.

Features of washing to give

Summer washing in the country is quite different from the usual kitchen. Rather, to say that the requirements for it are different, but the problem it solves the same.

She must:

• be resistant to moisture, UV radiation, nevertheless, it can be located not only inside the country house, but also directly on the adjacent plot, for example, not far from the barbeque;
• also the sink should be practical, beautiful marble or acrylic models are definitely not suitable. They weigh a lot and are quite fragile;

• the price should be as low as possible.. Still, this is a dacha, so that no one is immune from accidents. The failure of a simple iron or plastic car wash will be almost imperceptible for the family budget.

Note! The cost of polypropylene sinks does not even reach 400 rubles, so you can immediately purchase several of these sinks. Reserve pocket does not pull.

Simultaneously with the purchase of a car wash, you should think about the device under the base for it. Purchased options, as a rule, are made of chipboard, so for the street just do not fit. An exit can be the construction of a vanity cabinet for the sink with your own hands, this issue is discussed in more detail below.

On the selection and installation of summer sinks

In addition to purchased models, it is allowed to install self-made counterparts of sinks in the country, in some cases it looks even more appropriate than, for example, a sparkling stainless steel sink for gardening. In the issue of installation, there is also an abundance of options.

Hot water in any weather

The lack of hot water in the country can be a serious inconvenience if you live on it at least for several days in a row. Bathing water can be heated in the sun, usually in a metal container, but here it is better to wash the dishes in hot water, and the weather is not always sunny. This problem can be easily solved by washing to the cottage with a heater.

The difference from the usual model is that it comes complete with a tank with a heating element of accumulative type. The heater power is not enough to provide a constant high temperature of running water, so the tank is filled with water and after a certain time we get almost boiling water (the maximum temperature of water heating depends on the model).

Note! A significant disadvantage of such a solution is the dependence on the supply of electricity. So, if in the country with the power supply problems, then such a kitchen sink will be almost useless.

Sink with heated water for giving is usually sold immediately with a pedestal and a tank, which is mounted on the wall above it. All elements are made taking into account the specifics of operation in the country. That is, it uses either durable plastic or stainless steel.

As for the power of water heaters built into the tank, they may differ. If the capacity is plastic, then, most likely, the maximum for such a model is water heating up to 60? С; if the capacity is made of metal, then you can count on 80? С. The power of such sinks is usually in the range of 1.25-1.5 kW.

If you need to provide only the opportunity to rinse your hands after agricultural work, then it is possible to confine ourselves to a simple option and install a washbasin to give separate from the sink. The simplest design is a hanging sink with a lever at the bottom, lifting it, the water flows out of the tank. You can install it literally anywhere; you just need to drive a couple of nails into the wall and hang a washbasin on it.

You can make a wash basin from a plastic container and cut into it an ordinary faucet, ball or ordinary. In this installation manual will require a separate frame device.

A few ideas for installing suburban washing

When choosing a material, we immediately discard those that are not distinguished by durability and strength. Given this, for the frame can be recommended to use metal and plastic. It is allowed to use wood as well, but not only as bearing elements, but, for example, for covering an already assembled frame.

Sometimes the sink for washing dishes is installed in the immediate vicinity of the barbecue. It is much more convenient than worn with plates into and out of the house. In this case, a brick sink in the country can be used - the sink itself is most often installed metal, but the brickwork plays the role of a pedestal.

The “mobile” installation option also deserves attention. In this case, the sink can be transferred within the site to the right place. For such a project, you will need metal tubes from which the frame will be assembled, wood or plastic for plating and the sink itself.

The metal frame will have sufficient rigidity to withstand the numerous "crossings", while the weight of the whole structure is unlikely to exceed 20 kg. This option would be almost ideal for summer cottages with summer water supply, a summer sink for dishes in the country can be connected to the water supply almost anywhere in the area.

Note! For the convenience of connecting the water supply system, it is possible to fix a plate on the frame and attach a section of the pipe from the tap to the sink to it. So you can quickly connect the water to the sink.

Country sink for dishes does not give so much waste, but if you use it regularly, you will have to attend to the removal of wastewater.

This issue can be resolved in two ways:

• arrange a small drain hole in the area (special for washing). If the soil on the site is sandy, then there will be no problems with water accumulation;
• organize the discharge into a separate container and drain the water from the sewage system manually from it already.

It is also worth noting that the sink for dishes for giving can be connected to the sewage system without a siphon, if it is located on the street. Its main purpose is not to let odors get into the room, and on the street it is an absolutely unnecessary function.

In conclusion

Installing a sink is an easy way to achieve almost urban comfort at the dacha. Especially useful will be the function of heating water, which is implemented in the sink, combined with sinks. It is also important that it does not make a serious gap in the family budget.
