4 FAQs About Hand Wash Stations

What Kinds of Events Require Hand Wash Stations?

While portable hand wash stations are great for almost any event, some actually require them. These include parties at which people are handling food, such as outdoor weddings, marathons, music festivals, and construction sites. Generally, if your event has portable toilets, hand washing stations are typically expected.

Do They Require Access to Any Plumbing?

No: Portable hand wash stations are completely self-contained. They each hold a clean water container that, once plugged in, will distribute water through the faucets. The system has an individual pump and heating system that will allow the water to flow steadily as well as provide your guests with the option of warm or hot water.

Where Does the Dirty Water Go?

Each portable hand wash station comes with both a clean water container and a wastewater one. After the water is used from the former, it goes down the drain and into the latter.

How Often Will They Need to Be Refilled?

A hand wash station that carries a five-gallon clean water container will last for roughly 100 hand washes. After that, it will need to be refilled with fresh water, and the waste container will need to be emptied. There are different-sized systems available to accommodate any event.
