Country washbasin with heated water: rating of the best models + tips for potential buyers

What are there? Making the right choice

In order not to spend money on installing a separate water supply system, it is recommended to install a washstand in the immediate vicinity of the shower

You can pay attention to independent designs. The main design differences are in the presence of an electric heating system, a bedside table and the type of water supply.

Such products can be mounted anywhere: from a dwelling to a street gazebo. Species washstands for giving several:

• On a stand (pedestal).
• Wall (suspended) structures.
• With cabinet and sink.

With water heater

Such devices will help add much-needed comfort, provided that there is no centralized water supply on the territory. Heated washstands have significant differences from the usual boiler. For example, water must be poured into the tank manually, since there is no access to the common system.The liquid is heated by means of a heating element. For greater convenience, when choosing, it is recommended to use the comparative table, which is given by each manufacturer without exception.

Such devices are recognized as completely safe. If there is not enough water in the tank, the heating element will not work. Design flaws are not without, because the volume of the tank is small, and the cost of individual devices can be enormous. Do not forget about the possibilities of wiring, because in summer cottages this aspect is always given insufficient attention. In addition to quality washbasin for giving, you should also take care of a number of auxiliary accessories, such as:

wall

Such devices are mounted on vertical surfaces. A water tank is installed near them.Suitable for installation anywhere. Clamps are used as fasteners. The volume of such washstands rarely exceeds the mark of 5 liters. It is this option that should be bought for a summer cottage, which is rarely visited.

With bedside table

This option is considered the most popular. Popularly referred to as "Moydodyr". Used water flows into a special reservoir, which is placed inside the cabinet. It is possible to connect a complete drainage system. Often, popular models are equipped not only with bedside tables, but also with mirrors, towel hooks and shelves. Sinks are steel (metal) or plastic.

The kit contains all the necessary tools and accessories. Steel products wash better, but are more expensive. Bedside tables are made of impact-resistant plastic or chipboard. The volume of the tank does not exceed the mark of 30 liters. The optimal indicator is 15-20 liters, which is enough for a family of 3 people. If you plan to wash there not only hands, but also dishes, then it is better to take a larger tank.

On the counter

A great solution to wash your hands after hours spent in the garden. Hanging devices can be installed anywhere within the site. The design is a metal rack, the fixation of which is carried out on the ground and the tank, which is mounted on top. A volume of 10-15 liters is enough to solve everyday problems. The drain container can be omitted, as dirty water will soak into the ground. When choosing a site, preference should be given to a remote area where excessive moisture will not harm either crops or buildings. Goods of the world's best manufacturers allow you to purchase a high-quality sink with all the necessary characteristics.

Kinds

1. The pedestal washbasin is a cistern mounted on a steel pedestal. Their convenience lies in the fact that after pressing the crossbar with your foot, it can be installed in any place convenient for a person.
2. Plastic washstands. Bright, light, they are hung on any wall, tree or board, and place a basin downstairs to collect used water. When pushing the rod up, a stream of water begins to flow. After washing, the pressure tap returns to its original position and shuts off the water flow.
3. Washbasins with cabinets are more modernized models. They only need to be installed in one place, so transportation to different places is difficult. It includes a tank and a cabinet with a metal or plastic sink. More modernized models sometimes have a mirror, as well as a hook for towels and cosmetics. It is convenient to put it both outdoors and indoors, but before buying it is worth considering where it will be more convenient to put it.

For lovers of comfort, you can purchase a heated washbasin. This is especially true with the onset of the autumn-winter period. They can also be made of plastic or metal, depending on the preferences of the buyer.
We make a washstand with our own hands

Buying is always easier, but for those who like to do everything with their own hands, making a washstand on their own will not be difficult. You can do it in several ways.

The first method is the easiest, which even a teenager can do. Creation of a washbasin from 2 liter bottles and ropes.Cut out the bottom of the bottle with a knife or scissors and wind it to a tree or board with a wire or rope.

The lid will play the role of a tap: with a slight unscrewing, it will give out a small thin stream, and when twisted, the water will not flow. This method will be appropriate when you need to make a washstand in haste.

The second way is to use a bucket as a storage tank. The bucket can be made of any material, but it is welcome if there is also a lid for it. With a pencil or marker, we draw the place of the future crane and use a drill to make a small hole.

Then we mount the usual plumbing fixture and screw in the faucet. The finished washstand can be hung on the wall, and a basin or bucket for dirty water can be placed on the bottom. You can fantasize for a very long time choosing completely different objects, starting with canisters and ending with barrels.

Which sink is better to buy

The centralized water supply system was not carried out in all garden plots, and even in the private sector on the periphery. To ensure comfortable conditions, you need a good washbasin. The stores sell devices of various modifications. The most popular include:

• models of a rectangular or oval shape with a lid, a tap and a wall mount;
• washbasins with cabinet, water tank and sink;
• hanging products with a piston.

There are washstands with a water tank volume of 4-10 liters and overall devices with a capacity of 10-30 liters. They are usually made of plastic or stainless steel.

Washbasins made of metal are more expensive, but they are more durable and reliable.

For giving, two types of washbasins are produced: with heating and without. Which one is better is hard to say.The choice depends on the individual preferences and financial capabilities of the buyer. When people live in a country house permanently and have access to the electrical network, the best option is a heated tank. If people come to the dacha only in summer, heating water for washing hands is optional.

When buying, check the quality of all components. Make sure that the product has no external defects and meets your requirements.

Bottle washbasin design

Such street washstands have a common part - a plastic bottle fixed with its neck down. In a primitive version, the bottle is filled with water through the neck, and each time it has to be removed.

In a more complex version, the bottle is made fixed, and the bottom is cut off to fill it with water. It can also be used to make a cover to prevent water pollution.

However, the manufacturing time and minimal labor outweigh the inconvenience of use.

To make the use of such washbasins more convenient, you can improve the adjustment of the water drain. For these purposes, a faucet from an old washing machine or other unit is fixed on the neck with an insulating tape.

The previous model has a small amount of water. This disadvantage is overcome by using an installation having a larger volume of a metal or plastic canister or bucket.

The tap is installed in a drilled hole in the bottom of the tank. To seal the drain, they put a squeegee with rubber gaskets and fix it with nuts on both sides. A crane is screwed onto the overhang.

Material

Metal

Stainless steel is a great option that will withstand any atmospheric whims.
Enameled - also proved itself well in difficult conditions, the only negative is that it is afraid of impacts, because when the enamel breaks off, in this place, after a while, corrosion will pass through the sink.
Galvanized - usually a basin acts in this capacity, in which you can make a drain hole yourself.
All models are lightweight, so they do not need powerful cabinets

The price depends on the material and size.

ceramics
The product is not afraid of frost, rain or snow.
It is heavy, so you need to take care of the appropriate retaining structure.
The sink is afraid of impacts, so care must be taken during operation.
Drainage is normal - into the sewer or into a bucket.

Plastic
Ordinary material is not suitable for this, or you will have to bring the sink into the house when frost sets in in places where they are quite strong. Alternatively, you can use a nylon basin, in which you can make a drain in a convenient place with your own hands.
Wood
You might think that this is an exclusive option, but in many villages you can still find an outdoor sink made of a wooden basin

This design is not afraid of cold, rain and snow, so you do not need to hide it in front.
Stone
More precisely, a stone with a cement-sand mortar. You can make an interesting sink from these materials in the form of a small mound with a bowl inside on a suburban area.

Outdoor ceramic sink

The presence of water in the summer cottage, which is used not from time to time, but constantly, is a prerequisite. On a warm summer morning, you can drive away sleep with cool water from the washbasin.

It is not always possible to connect to the central water supply, and in some places only a well or well saves. But, in this case, it is necessary to properly organize the water supply of your own site so that the pipeline does not freeze in winter. So you have two options - to conduct water directly to the washbasin or use another option for this, such as Moydodyr.

Do-it-yourself stationary washing in the country house on the street, connected to the central water supply

It remains only to decide where to put such a structure:

• the place should be as accessible as possible so that the washbasin can be used at any time;
• to warm up the water tank, we recommend choosing a site on the sunny side. Although, if it is made of plastic, many recommend a shade;
• the design of the cabinet for the sink can be portable, or it can be strictly fixed in one place.

This single design consists of a cabinet with a sink and a water tank attached above it. Finding the first one may not be difficult if you or your parents used it back in Soviet times and, as usual, kept it in the country.

In the photo - an overhead sink from an aluminum basin

We didn’t find such a cabinet in the barn or garage, don’t despair either, we will create it ourselves.

1. Prepare wooden bars for the frame, the cross section of which can be from 50x50 mm to 80x80 mm, it makes no sense anymore, or steel corners with a shelf of 25-40 mm. The latter are much stronger, but it will be more difficult to work with them.
2. The height of our pedestal should not exceed 1 m together with the legs, so it is enough to cut off 4 racks of 850 mm each.

1. To fit the sink, cut 8 pieces from a bar or corner.
2. Assemble the frame by fixing it with self-tapping screws (for wood), bolts or welding (for metal). In this case, the inner edges of the frame are your guideline, since the sink will be inserted exactly there.

Washbasin option for giving

1. Sheathe the frame with plywood, boards, polycarbonate, plastic panels or steel sheet. Be sure to varnish the wood and plywood, protecting the material from moisture.
2. Make the front wall open or with a door, the back wall - deaf.
3. The floor is made of wood, leaving a gap of 10 mm between the boards for draining water and air circulation.

For dishes in the country, a combined version of wood and a metal frame is suitable

Plastic washbasin

Everyone in the country has a few empty and unnecessary plastic bottles, they can be used to make a plastic washbasin for giving. They remain from drinks that are brought with them and drunk after work, or during rest. Of these, you can easily and quickly build an outdoor wall mounted washbasin.

The simplest washbasin

There are many ways in which a plastic container can be easily converted into a personal care product.

But they all boil down to simple actions:

1. Rinse the container in order to clean out the remnants of the unfinished liquid.
2. Next, you need to cut off the bottom of the bottle.
3. The resulting tank must be fixed on a vertical surface so that the neck looks down.
4. The cut off bottom can be left and used later as a washbasin lid.

The design is almost ready, then those who do not want to bother much can leave everything as it is and pour water through the top.To open such a faucet, it is enough to turn the lid until the water from the tank flows in a thin stream. But this design is not perfect, because if you open the lid too far, you can accidentally open the bottle completely, and all the contents will spill out.

Scheme

Therefore, many masters are trying to come up with interesting variations of various water supply mechanisms that allow you to wash your hands without the risk of being doused with water. Here are a few options that are most often found in such designs:

1. A large diameter nail is taken and blunted. Next, you need to remove the cap of the washbasin bottle and make a hole in it, into which the nail should pass freely, but it should be smaller than the cap. Further, the structure is assembled in such a way that when the lid is screwed on, the cap is inside the structure. Now, if the container is filled with water, it will hold it, but if you lift a nail, water will pour out of the opened hole.

This scheme has several drawbacks: firstly, the nail will rust over time, polluting the water, and secondly, such an outdoor washbasin for giving will constantly leak, since the nail head has bumps.

1. It's even easier to make a hole in the top of the lid. Then you do not have to turn and open it completely, just turn the cap on the bottle a little, and water will pour out of the hole.

There is only one downside to this design. It is quite difficult to adjust the required width of the water jet.

1. Simpler, but more expensive, may be a scheme with a simple water tap instead of a lid. It can be purchased separately. Or remove from old technology. The main thing is to choose the correct diameter that matches the width of the neck.

Also, syringes, taps from boxed wine and other improvised means are used as faucets and “spouts”, here, as they say, who is good for what. Do-it-yourself washbasin for giving, photo and video:

Washbasin from a plastic bottle

This type of washbasin is quite simple both in manufacturing and in use, but from the practical and aesthetic side, they clearly lose to competitors. The washbasin can be hung on a tree branch with a rope.

Types of washbasins

Modern washbasins can be classified according to the following criteria:

• fastening method;
• the presence of additional elements;
• the possibility of heating water.

Ways of fastening washbasins

The main criterion by which modern washbasins differ is the method of fixing sanitary equipment. Distinguish:

• hanging (hinged) washbasins, which are mounted on the walls of a room or a country shower, a fence, and so on;
• stand-mounted wash-hand basins mounted directly on the floor or ground.

The wall-mounted washbasin (picture above) is different:

• simplicity of design, which ensures its durability and lack of breakdowns;
• low cost (on average 150 - 350 rubles);
• the possibility of installation anywhere: on the street, at home, in the garage, and so on, if there is any support;
• variety of shapes and colors.

Garden washbasin on the counter is a more advanced design. However, it requires sufficient free space to install.

As a mounting rack can be:

pole - the most simple and inexpensive models for installation on the street;

Single foot wash basin

special stand.Models with a stand are more stable. They are not subject to the negative effects of wind and precipitation.

Wash-stand mounted on a special rack

Hanging washstands and washstands, fixed on the rack, can be installed both inside the garden house, as well as anywhere in the summer cottage.

Wash-stands with accessories

A standard washbasin consists of a container of a certain size with a lid and a faucet (outlet) from which water flows. Drainage of water can be carried out:

• on the ground if a street washstand is used and drains will not harm the plantings;
• in a bucket - when installing equipment indoors, the possibility of damage to landings, the desire of the user, and so on;
• in a septic tank - when installing the structure, laying pipes to the treatment plant is required.

The washbasin can be supplemented with:

Cabinet. A washstand with a pedestal is a stationary sanitary equipment, which, as a rule, is located indoors.

Distinctive features of this type of washbasin are the presence of a sink, large weight, which prevents the constant movement of the device, high cost, ease of use.

A bucket designed to collect wastewater is installed inside the cabinet, which limits the spread of odors and allows you to get a more aesthetic appearance of plumbing. In addition, shelves for storing any hygiene items can be located in the cabinet.

Washbasin complete with sink and cabinet

Sink and frame.

A washbasin without a cabinet on a frame differs from the previous version in its lighter weight, lower cost and the possibility of installation both indoors and outdoors, since the frame is made of durable materials (most often metal) with a protective anti-corrosion coating. The only drawback when using at home is the visibility of the drain bucket.

Wash basins with water heating

For the possibility of using sanitary equipment in the cold season, the washbasin can be supplemented with a heating element for heating water.

A heated washbasin is most often installed at home, as it requires electricity to operate.

Wash basin with water heating function

Electric washbasins are equipped with:

• heating elements of different power, on which the maximum water temperature depends;
• pedestals;
• sinks;
• temperature controllers or built-in sensors that turn off the heating inside the tank when the specified parameter is reached.

A non-heated washstand differs from heated plumbing in cost and ease of use.

Country washbasin Aquatex AT-White

Aquatex AT-White is a beautiful and compact washbasin cabinet with an electric water heater. Unlike the previous participants in our rating, it is covered with a pleasant matte white paint, which allows it to fit into almost any country interior.

The cabinet stands on four barely visible legs, slightly lifting it off the floor. This makes it much easier to clean under the washstand without having to move it from place to place.

Aquatex AT-White is quite narrow, so it can easily fit even in a small living area and does not take up too much space.

The volume of the filling tank is seventeen liters. Unlike the tanks on the Dachny Duet or Whirlwind, here the tank is organically integrated into the design of the washstand and does not look like something alien. This is an undoubted plus of Aquatex, because not everyone is indifferent to the interior in the country.

Aquatex's heater is quite powerful, fully heats the water to the required temperature in about half an hour. The heater is powered by a household electrical network.

The average cost of Aquatex AT-White in Russian retail chains is approximately 2,500 rubles, which makes it affordable for almost everyone.
