The main difference between units with a water heater is the ability to supply hot water for human needs. The principle of operation of such washbasins resembles a conventional boiler. The design is a small pedestal the length of a human being. A tank is located on top of the device, which is filled with water. It contains a heating element (power unit), which functions by connecting to the network through a cord.

Under the cabinet sink there is a container for collecting used water (usually a bucket). If possible, you can lead the pipe directly from the sink to the cesspool. For this reason, some models do not have a sump. They try to acquire such structures if all the necessary communications are supplied at the dacha. The basin of a country washbasin with heated water is usually of medium size. The capacity of the tank varies between 10-20 liters. Water is poured into the tank through the top cover. The heating element is nothing more than a conventional heating element with a mechanical thermostat. It keeps the water hot.

The electric country heated washbasin has several varieties.

Depending on the type of construction, it can be:

• on the counter - a tank without a sink and a pedestal;
• with a cabinet - tank + sink + cabinet;
• without pedestal - tank + sink, separate tank.

The first option is a small portable option, more like a boiler. Its volume can be quite small - within 5 liters. The design is based on a tank with an electric water heater and a lid, temperature control and a tap. The model is held by the skeleton-rack, it takes up little space, the drain occurs to the ground. The tank with the heating element is located on top of the metal rack. Below, for stability, you can provide supports that, when pressed, will drive into the ground.

Products of the second group are related to the famous washbasin "moidodyr". Such models differ in a complete set. They have both a tank and a cabinet, on top of which there is a small sink. The only difference from its famous descendant is the electric tank. Such designs are excellent for giving, they are spacious, have different shelves for hygiene products. Sometimes such models are complemented by small mirrors.

Products are factory-made and home-made. Own production is explained by the simplicity of the device. At the same time, the master has the opportunity to independently choose the volume of the future washbasin, the capacity of the tank, its presence, and the convenience of location relative to the source of electrical power. With a scrupulous approach to manufacturing, the finished structure will not be inferior to the factory counterpart in quality and durability.

Different raw materials are used in the production of sinks for summer cottages. It is problematic to find options completely made of stainless steel on sale. In order to reduce the cost, brands use a combination of materials. For example, the most budget type of materials for such washbasins is plastic. It is distinguished by its lightness, ease of maintenance, its use in production allows to reduce costs.

The tank is in most cases made of stainless steel, due to which it is the most durable part of the device. Manufacturers often replace stainless steel with enamel. However, such material deforms rather quickly, which affects the appearance of the product and its functionality. For the case of country (garden) washbasins, plastic, metal and wood, including chipboard, are used.

When buying a model of a country sink with heated water, it is worth considering a few simple recommendations.

This will help you choose a quality product that will last for many years.

• Ask the seller about the thermoregulation system. Thermostat options are more expensive, but the water will be hot all the time.
• If you plan to use the washbasin outdoors, pay attention to models with polycarbonate lining or metal products.
• Always focus on the quality of the material of manufacture. Plastic flexes under pressure.Choose the option with a stainless steel sink. There must be a special anti-corrosion coating inside the storage tank.

• If you want to buy a chipboard sink, it should at least be impregnated with moisture. It is worth remembering that such a product will quickly lose its original appearance.
• Pay attention to the volume of the water tank. For 1 user, 10 liters is enough, two will need a 10-15 liter tank. For a family, it is worth choosing a model for 20-30 liters.
• Check the operation of the heating element. It should consist of a copper tube with a nichrome heating coil. The heating must be securely fixed.
• If you need a simple stationary model, it is better to choose the first option between the version with and without a cabinet.
• The doors of the model with a curbstone must have magnetic closers, and the entire structure must have legs. This will allow air to circulate under the washbasin, which will extend the life of the washbasin.

Some models of devices are made from scrap materials. Consider a simple garden sink design. Depending on the option chosen, in the process of work, you will have to select and mount a tank, a supporting rack, a countertop, a system for collecting and draining used water, as well as heating.

Initially, you need to make a schematic drawing or a drawing of the future product... It should mark the position of each part, its dimensions. In order not to forget something important, the necessary nuances are also indicated here. It is preferable to use a metal profile as a frame. The connection is best done by welding. However, if such a device is not available, you can try to get by with bolts.

If the metal frame seems difficult to make on your own, you can replace it with wood. It is easier to work with it, but wood is inferior in performance to iron and will last no more than several years. Further, it may require replacement or repair. For the countertop, it is better to choose a material that is resistant to constant exposure to moisture - plastic sheet or polycarbonate. As additional protection (cladding) of the product, you can choose a variety of finishes, for example, mosaic.

To organize the drainage system, first of all, it is necessary to prepare the sink. You can use the old one or buy a new one in the store. You also need to take care of purchasing a corrugated pipe for draining, a container for draining. Be sure to need sealing rubber bands, as well as a sealant. The perforated pipe is laid in an area where the soil is highly absorbent. In some cases, drainage is performed. For this, the pipe is buried in the ground to a depth of 2-3 m. Sometimes it is wrapped with geotextiles.

As a tank, you can use a plastic tank with dense walls. A canister, cubic meter will do. The heating element is bought in the store. It is installed horizontally in the tank. In this case, it is necessary to fix it on the side wall and closer to the bottom. Such an installation system will guarantee that it will not burn out. With this method of fastening, the contacts of the heating element are located on the side, they will less often receive splashes from water. If the model provides for a sink, a back panel is constructed. A tank with a heater is attached to it from above. At a convenient distance, the sink is fixed at the bottom. It is better to select a durable and reliable material for the panel.

When making a curbstone made of metal, accurate measurements are made, sheet material of the required thickness is selected. The drawing is transferred to metal in full size. Since it may not be enough for a full layout, the parts are cut out separately using a grinder. In the right place, make a hole for the door. After that, the parts are connected by welding and the door is mounted.The shell is fixed from above. They select the desired height for the location of the tank and attach it to the base, connecting it with the curbstone into a single structure. If provided by model, make a shelf for soap. If desired, you can supplement the design of the pedestals with legs, having previously erected them immediately after welding the main parts.

If a stand is provided, it is not difficult to make a model. After the tank is assembled, the heating element is installed, it remains to make the rack itself. For this, you can use different raw materials, for example, metal. The pipe of the required length is bent in the form of a wide and low letter "P" in the form of parallel profiles. The bottom supports can be bent more.

Washbasins with a water heater are considered a good purchase for summer cottages. They really help out summer residents. As noted by buyers, these are convenient, necessary devices that make their stay outside the city more comfortable. Users note the relevance, compactness, modern design and successful fit of the products into the furnishings of the premises. The acceptable cost of such structures is also considered important.
