Wash basins for giving: types and step-by-step instruction of production

For the dacha owners, the issue of hygienic procedures is always relevant, since earthworks require a washbasin. This or that design is established depending on the availability of water supply and electricity. Consider how to solve the problem with the sink, based on different conditions, and what options can be used in the sink country.

The choice of device for washing depends on the method of water supply: water supply system or a manually filled tank.Modern villas are equipped with a centralized water supply, but most of the country farms use water from a well, imported or from an artesian well. This determines the separation of the sinks into two types of devices.

The standard crane device is powered by water pipes. At the dacha it is convenient to equip such a washbasin next to the garden or in the yard so that the land does not clog the drain sewer. The water supply is centralized, the owners of the site can only make a otvodka for the sink, sink and faucet can be bought in the store. Stand under the sink get ready or mounted independently to the desired height and placed in a convenient location.

The disadvantage of this type of washbasin is to limit the use of the warm season, as with the onset of the first frost pipes may burst.

In order to avoid failure of the water supply system before the onset of cold weather, water supply is cut off and the remaining water is drained from the pipes. A good way to extend the period of use of a sink is to warm the external plumbing with glass wool. This type of insulation will make it possible to lengthen the operating period for a couple of months a year, but in the late autumn a full supply of water will be required.The construction industry offers for winter use at the dacha specialized water pipes with insulation and electric heating elements inside the outer contour of the insulation, which prevents the water pipe from freezing throughout its length at negative temperatures.

The presence of electricity will allow the use of PETN and inside the sink. Hot water in the country - it is a luxury, in any weather often have to wash with cold water. Today there is a wide range of washbasins with elements for heating water to make your stay in the country house comfortable. Such designs will require good electrical insulation and float device. Capacity can be single-chamber, then the heating should not exceed 40 degrees. In devices with two cameras for hot and cold water used tap mixer.

Traditional bulk washstands are the simplest scheme that uses the pressure of a mass of water: the tank is filled with water, a hole is made in the lower part with a valve in the form of a rod, or a tap is installed.Various industrial models of this type are commercially available.

Country craftsmen show wonders of ingenuity, using scrap materials to construct washstands from plastic bottles or tanks. Place country washbasins in a sunny place for natural water heating.

First of all, you need to organize a drain. In the simplest models, mounted on a rack, it can be a specially equipped drain groove, the walls of which are concreted or used pipes, similar to the gutter roofs. For draining, it is necessary to provide a slope and sufficiently high sides to protect against splashes. It is more convenient to use a cabinet with a sink and with a sink, which is discharged into an underground tank or under a slope is diverted to a designated place on the site.

Let us try to analyze in more detail the models of summer washbasins that are diverse in design schemes and design.

To classify summer washstands can be mounted, frame and tumbovye, heated or without.The only mounted street model in the recent past is a metal or plastic tank with a valve at the bottom. These sinks are mounted on a pole or wall of a house or on a frame, and a regular bucket is used under the sink. They require fully manual maintenance and are cleaned into the room for winter.

The disadvantage is the small volume of the tank and the need to frequently add water. Advanced models have a larger tank - from 10 liters or more. Equipped with a tap to regulate the water pressure.

The large weight of the filled tank requires a frame stand and good fastenings to the support. The stand is equipped with a sink and a place for a container for used liquid.

The stationary wash basin for giving is established on the flat platform. The legs of the frame can be sunk into the ground. To maintain an even position, the legs are reinforced with a support made of solid material or the legs are used in the form of an inverted “P”.Drain in dense soils is organized into a drain hole or drainage ditch.

The next in complexity of water supply is a garden washbasin construction, attached to a street shower tank. In this case, two problems are solved at once: the natural heating of water and the presence of a large volume of liquid. Water supply pipes to the tank are installed; washstands are installed, a float system is installed, or manual filling is used using an additional tap at the pipe inlet.

On large plots or at a considerable distance of the garden from outbuildings, it is worth choosing a model with autonomous heated water. Here there are options for self-connecting the heating element to a conventional structure without heating the water or purchasing an already prepared tank with a built-in heating element.

To heat the water electric heating element used tanks made of plastic and metal. Choosing the heating element for self-installation, you need to calculate the required heating power. A too weak element for a large water tank will make the heating time very long, the powerful element will make the water burning hot.

Street washbasins differ in the method of attachment: on the frame and on the pedestal. The frame can be made independently of wood or metal, as well as purchased ready. It is selected at a convenient height, and the length of the support legs depends on the weight of the water tank, and the greater the weight of the tank, the deeper the supports are embedded in the ground. Massive structures will require concreting the legs to maintain stability.

Another common option is to mount the washbasin on a “Moidodyr” type cabinet. Here the frame is sheathed with a moisture-resistant material and has a neat appearance.

A washbasin with a cabinet is equipped with soap dishes, towel holders, and a mirror. These devices create a comfortable environment for use.

Finally, the last type of summer washbasin without a tank and without heating is directly from the water supply system. Pipes are supplied to the sink on the cabinet or a decorative support made of wood, stone or metal is arranged. If conditions allow, then the water supply connected to an electric or gas water heater installed in the house is displayed on the street. Such a system should be located near a heat source.

Washbasins are made of traditional materials: plastic, metal, wood.Lightweight and practical plastic is used for simple mounted devices with valves or taps and heated models. Modern plastic is a durable material that does not corrode, is easy to use, and is easily kept clean. Tanks made of galvanized steel or metal more durable, they will last for many years, subject to the absence of rust.

The framework is mainly made of metal or wooden bars. Pedestal models are sheathed with plastic panels or sheets of fiberboard, MDF or natural lumber. Chipboards can serve only indoors, as under the influence of moisture, their service is reduced to one or two seasons.

Natural wood trim always looks noble, but moisture destroys wood and gives it a dark shade that will look unaesthetic over time. The wooden parts of the cabinet should be regularly treated with antiseptic preparations or coated with oil-based paint.

Garden sinks, made in the traditional rural style, fit well into the suburban life. Win-win - stainless steel trim cabinets. This design is provided with a long life and excellent appearance, which is supported only by wet cleaning with any detergent.

Material for the manufacture of sinks and cranes can also be selected according to their preferences and conditions of use. Choosing a country wash basin it is necessary to consider the time of year it will be used and how often. If you just wash your hands before eating or returning to the city, then pick up plastic models. For permanent residence in the country in the warm season, pick up a more durable material - metal sink or tank. Faience or ceramics in the country - not the most suitable choice because of the high fragility of these materials.

The size of the water tank depends on the number of users. For a family of four and trips to the cottage on weekends enough tank for 10-20 liters. The larger size (30 liters and more) is intended for permanent residence of the family outside the city. If you have to go far for water and you rarely go to a country house, then you can stop your choice on simple hinged models of no more than 5 liters in volume. Calculate the right amount of water and the size of the tank needed for heated models, so as not to waste excess electricity on the unspent balance.

The curbstone has dimensions, where to the size of the sink add 5-7 centimeters for the countertop. Standard cabinets have a width and length of 60 centimeters, a height of 75 centimeters for the sink and 1.5 meters for the support wall.

Ready models of wash basins have various design. For supporters of high-tech style, it is appropriate to choose a washbasin made entirely of stainless steel. Making villas in the style of Provence will support the model of plastic pastel colors. Classic are considered the cabinets, paneled under the natural wood with a tank, located behind the panel rack and with a large mirror.Ornament of flowers in the decoration of the outdoor washbasin harmoniously fits to the garden vegetation.

A simple country wash basin can turn into a work of art., if its standard design to decorate plants or give it an unusual shape. The whole summer kitchen in the open air can be made of a frame lined with slats. It is necessary to make a tabletop of a convenient length so that it can be cooked, transplanted flowers or canned vegetables. Equip the supporting wall and cabinet with shelves for storage and hooks for utensils and hygiene items.

The original solution will be to decorate the wash tank and the sink with a sink in the barrels, thereby emphasizing the rural style of its estate. Such a design is not difficult to implement if there are old barrels on the farm. They need to be treated with sandpaper, washed with a suitable stain, so that the supporting wall and barrels become the same color, and coated with wax or oil.A shell is inserted into the upper part of the barrel, the tank is decorated with a half of another barrel.

Modern minimalist styles welcome simple rectangular shapes with no decorations. Get a simple plain white or gray plastic kit with a drawer, install it in the right place. Next place the flowerpots with flowers, place the mounted washbasin over the pedestal with flowers. You will wash your face and the flower bed at this time will be irrigated.

A heated outdoor washstand will require a canopy to be installed to ensure safe operation. Even if the sink does not have heating, it will be more comfortable to have a roof over your head for hygienic procedures in rainy weather. The simplest canopy can be attached to the frame and be in the form of a single or dual roof. The roof can be made of profiled sheet, wooden slats or polycarbonate. The use of polycarbonate allows you to build an arched structure of metal arcs.

Famous Russian manufacturers offer a wide range of ready-made summer washbasins that meet the diverse needs of consumers and have a wide price range.The most popular models of heated sinks are "Elbat" - inexpensive devices with a powerful water-heating element, temperature sensors and a large water tank. According to responses of summer residents, they have good operational qualities.

Not inferior to them as sinks "Spring". They are made of stainless steel, which significantly increases their service life. Available as models with heating, and without, the tank has a volume of 16 liters or more.

"Sadko" - This is a compact model with a polypropylene housing, the water tank holds more than 18 liters. Consumers note the ease of assembly and installation, comfortable and durable fastenings of construction details.

Good washbasins are offered by companies such as "Cascade", "Summer Resident", "Chistyulya", "Double", "Leader", "Waterfall", Obi. Production of the company "Aquatex" gained popularity due to good quality and budget rates. Washbasins have a diverse design, tank volume over 20 liters and heated. When choosing a model, you need to pay attention to the heating method. "Dry" heating provides steatite tube with a teng inserted into it.This method allows you to quickly heat water without scaling, they do not break when connected without water. "Wet" heating is similar to the operation of the boiler, it is less safe and more prone to breakage, which makes the price for such sinks somewhat lower.

Choosing a model in the store, you need to be guided by the following arguments:

• season of use, will require heating or not;
• street or home mode of operation affects the choice of production material;
• tank size based on the number of users;
• case design.

Having defined these criteria, it is enough just to pick up and install the wash basin at the cottage with your own hands. The main task is to secure the tank with water on the support. If this is a finished model with a case, you need to follow the instructions exactly and firmly fasten the tank on the panel, this will ensure safety of use.

Self-placement will help implement a set of terminals and fasteners that are included with the sale. The frame is purchased in finished form or made from improvised material. The metal legs of the frame are sunk into the ground in proportion to the weight of the filled water tank - the heavier, the deeper.The height of the frame is calculated on the basis of proportion to the height of a person, but so that the tank hung at least 1 meter from the ground.

For greater stability is the frame in the form of thumbs. It is made as follows: they prepare corners of steel 25x25, or a wooden bar with a section of 50x50. Measure the size of the sink and calculate the dimensions of the frame. The required length of the part is cut from the metal profile or bar and screwed or welded by hand welding. If you wish to make a closed structure, the skeleton is sheathed with wooden slats, chipboard panels or MDF or plastic and install the sink.

Plastic sheathing frame - a more practical option for use on the street. The cabinet can be coated with moisture resistant paint. It should be noted that the paint on the street sink will have to be updated annually. Chipboard and MDF panels are suitable only for the home. To extend the service life of the frame you need to isolate the legs from soil moisture. To do this, the metal is painted with an anti-corrosion compound, and the wooden parts of the structure are treated with anti-rot agents. Drain water is organized or autonomously - in a bucket under the sink, or permanently - in the drain hole.For a stationary drain, a sewer drain pipe is mounted at the back of the pedestal.

The rear wall is built on a vertical frame, on which the water tank, mirror and towel hooks will be strengthened. The side walls of the cabinet are sewn up with panels, the back wall can also be sewn up with a panel, and when installed against the wall it is left open. On the front wall of the cabinet hang the door on the hinges or leave it open, if desired, this place can be decorated with a curtain. Street washbasin is better to put on a solid paved area.

Independently make the heating system is easy, you need to purchase a heating element of the desired power. It should correspond to the size of the tank with water. It is better to opt for models with a thermostat. Attach the heater on the side wall of the tank at the bottom of the tank. The top location will make heating less effective; the heating element will often burn out due to a decrease in the water level. The installation of the heating element requires careful insulation of the terminals and the wire.

For long-term operation of the dacha washbasin, you must follow certain rules.Before the beginning of the winter season, be sure to drain the water from all tanks and pipes. If, however, the pipe is frozen in case of early frosts, then the damaged section will be repaired: install couplings for breakouts or replace a pipe piece. It is easier to perform this operation with polypropylene pipes. Heating elements are replaced with new ones when they fail. To do this, you need to purchase a model with a similar design and capacity.

Heated washbasins are best used indoors. Outdoor heated tank must be placed under a canopy. In winter, a washbasin with a heating element must be retracted in a shed or in a house. All metal parts need to be well dried and wrapped the sink with a dry plastic wrap for winter storage. It is advisable to remove plastic tanks of liquid washbasins for the winter from the support and put them into the room, since ultraviolet and temperature drops destroy the plastic, and the ingress of moisture into the tank during freezing contributes to the deformation of its shape.

Placement of the sink in the country depends on the needs of the household. A simple construction is installed in the garden, where the tank is mounted on the frame. Curly annuals can be planted around the frame legs in order to decorate the supports. In the courtyard it is more convenient to use the cabinet with the sink. The advantages of the angular location are to create a hygiene zone hidden from prying eyes. If it is decorated with plants or paintings, this area will acquire a special charm. Advanced gardeners cabinets with computers to adjust the heater is placed in the country kitchen, bath or shower.

It is very convenient to purchase a washbasin model with a pump for pumping water using a foot pedal, where the tank is connected with a special hose to a common water tank intended for household needs. The pump allows you to contactlessly fill the tank for washing with water, which will be a great advantage when working with the ground and for hygiene purposes.

Country craftsmen with imagination and fantasy equip corner for washing, creating stylish compositions of wood, stone and metal.
