    Washbasin for self-catering

    If you do not like any model of the heated washbasin among those on sale, there is always the opportunity to create a dacha laundromat with your own hands.

    Frame making

    The frame must be hard and strong enough to be able to withstand the weight of the sink and water tank. The shape of such a frame can be very diverse.

    • First make a sketch of the future skeleton, on which mark the location of important elements. Optimal choice for a self-made skeleton is called a metal profile. Before joining its elements, the profile should be treated with a composition with an anticorrosive action. Welding or fastening with bolts is used to connect the frame parts.
    • If desired, the frame can also be made wooden, because processing the beam is much easier than metal. However, even treatment with protective means does not provide long-term service to such a skeleton. Literally a few seasons, and it will have to be repaired or completely replaced.
    • Next, select the material to be sheathed skeleton. Usually the choice is represented by sheets of plastic or metal, as well as moisture-proof plywood, but you can choose other suitable materials. If desired, the cladding is decorated with a decor that can not only affect the aesthetic appearance of the curbstone, but will also become an additional protection.

    Discharge organization

    The sink may be old( for example, if it remains after a repair in the house), and a new one. If you buy a new sink, it is advisable to choose a product from stainless steel, as it is more convenient to operate and maintain.

    In addition to the sink, you should prepare a drain pipe( it can be conventional or corrugated), as well as a container into which water will drain. If there is a sewer in the area, you need to take care of connecting the washbasin to it.

    An old canister made of plastic, a new finished container of the required volume, as well as a metal construction made by welding can serve as a water reservoir. Pay attention to the installation of the valve in such a reservoir, using it as a sealant and sealing gaskets. Finally, install the TEN of the selected power.

    Safety

    Washbasins with the ability to heat water are safe devices, because they provide the heater shutdown in cases where the tank is not filled with water to a minimum mark.

    It is also important to follow these recommendations:

    • If you are leaving the dacha, unplug the wash basin from the mains.
    • Do not forget to monitor the fullness of the tank, regularly adding water.
    • If the device is on the street, it is advisable to protect it with a canopy.
    • When installing in a holiday home, check the wiring( will it withstand the load from the heater)?
    • Do not allow children to play with the unit.

    Operation in the cold season

    If you plan to use a summer washstand in the winter, it should be installed in the house, and it is recommended to choose a model with a minimum power of 1.5 kW( for a 15-liter tank).In another case, the device will quickly lose heat, so getting warm water( not to mention hot) will be difficult.

    For the period of absence of tenants in the country, the device must be disconnected from the power supply.

    Advice for choosing

    • When buying a sink with a function of water heating, evaluate the material from which it was made. If you need a product that can serve a long time, choose a model with a stand or pedestal made of metal or other moisture-resistant materials. The tank made of enameled or galvanized metal will last longer than plastic.
    • Evaluate the tank capacity you need. If a large family lives at the dacha or you plan to spend several months outside the city, it will be more convenient to use a wash basin with a sufficiently large tank. Those who come to the country house occasionally will have enough and small-capacity tank.
    • It is also important to evaluate the power of the heating element. If you want to quickly get hot water, then, no doubt, you will look after the model with a more powerful TEN, but do not forget that such a washbasin will require more electricity.
    • Learn what additional features the manufacturer offers. For example, there are models of dacha washbasins in which water temperature can be maintained, and a shutdown program can also be programmed.
