There is no restriction on where you can locate this portable wash hand station. The large 20-liter fresh water tank and foot-operated water pump allow the provision of hygienic hand washing facilities where mains water and electricity are not available. No install required, just fill and go!
When you go to wash your hands using a normal tap there will be cross-contamination. You turn on the tap with an unwashed hand, which could potentially leave germs on the tap handle, this is then touched again after washing your hands to turn it off, which potentially transfers the germs back onto your hands and other people’s hands. The hands-free operation to prevent cross-contamination is the simple solution to this problem.
