The sticker price on this was $55 but because the box was open the guy gave me a deal and I got it for $35



I made a cheap faucet out of things I have laying around the shop – Note the quick disconnects and the shut off valve



I reduced the drain outlet down to 3/4 inch so I could connect a garden hose and a shut off valve so I can fill the sink up and don’t have to mess with loosing a stopper - Note that i haven't connected the proper fitting to the outlet to connect the garden hose the right way



I screwed one side of the sink down to a piece of plywood that I had laying around. This makes the sink more sturdy and compensates for the slanted floor that I’m planning to put it on



I also drilled holes where the legs meet the basin and used zip ties to bind the legs to the basin so the legs won’t fall off when I move the sink



So now, I’ve got a portable sink that is powered by a garden hose that I can move anywhere that I plant to brew



My GF loves it because it gets all my brew stuff out of her sink in the kitchen

nice setup. this is what i need....im sick of spraying water all over the kitchen.

I have been thinking of doing something like this for awhile, I never thought of doing it portable though, brillant!

Lowes used to have a similar tub, with a sweet utility sprayer faucet for $88. It is on my list for my basement, but I don't see it on their web site. Hopefully they still stock those.

That's where I got it and they did have the one with the faucet with it but I wanted to make a custom one that was more suited to my needs

Good idea.

That's not a bad idea with the hose sprayer. Certainly beats spending $$$ $for some fancy pull-out sprayer faucet.
