Whether you’re planning a festival, wedding, or construction site, it’s smart to rent hand-washing stations with your portable lavatories. People often prefer washing their hands with water and soap, rather than using a simple squirt of hand sanitizer, which is why biffy hand stations are becoming increasingly popular.

To ensure you make the right selection, the experts at Jiffy Biffy in Chetek and Bruce, WI, have shared a few options to consider. They say you should keep the following features of hand-washing stations in mind to determine which model will work best for you:

• Capacity: Portable hand-washing stations come with a tank of fresh, non-potable water. There will be another empty tank for the grey, or used, water. Additionally, you will be provided with some paper towels and soap, all designed to accommodate a certain number of washings. To determine which size tank is best for your needs, talk with your technician about your estimated guest count and whether you’ll plan for servicing during the event.
• Mounting: There are a few mounting options to consider. Decide if you’d like a free-standing unit, a wall-mounted station, or one that requires a flat surface. The free-standing unit is typically the most popular because it does not require any added accommodations to set it up.
• Control: You’ll also have a few options for controlling the water flow in your station. Some units have typical sink handles to turn on the faucet. Others have foot pedals, which allow for more sanitary control and remove the risk of leaving a faucet running. Higher tech ones have sensors, which eliminate wasteful water usage and are good for higher end events.
