Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Jonti-Craft portable sink require permanent plumbing?
No. Jonti-Craft portable sinks are designed to operate without being permanently connected to building plumbing. Depending on the model, fresh water and wastewater are handled through self-contained tanks, allowing the sink to be placed where it is needed.
Where can a portable sink be used in a daycare or preschool?
Portable sinks can provide convenient handwashing access near classrooms, art areas, food-service activities, diapering areas, and other locations where a traditional sink may not be conveniently located. Always follow applicable childcare and sanitation regulations for your facility.
Can a portable sink help a childcare center add handwashing where plumbing is unavailable?
Yes. This is one of the primary advantages of a portable sink. It can provide a handwashing station in areas where adding permanent water and drain lines would be difficult or expensive. Facilities should confirm that the selected sink and its placement meet applicable licensing, health, and sanitation requirements.
Do Jonti-Craft portable sinks need electricity?
Electrical requirements depend on the particular sink model and its features. Models equipped with components such as electric pumps or water-heating systems may require access to an appropriate electrical outlet. Check the individual product specifications before selecting a location.
How does a portable sink get fresh water?
Jonti-Craft portable sinks use a self-contained water system rather than a permanent water line. Fresh water is supplied through a tank or reservoir, while used water is collected separately for disposal. Tank capacities and operating features vary by model.
