An outdoor sink is a great idea if you spend most of your summer outdoors. Outdoor sinks can be a great addition to your home, especially if your family is concerned about their health and well-being. These are just five reasons why you should have your plumber install a garden sink before summer ends.
1. Get Fresh Water for Your Kids Outside
Summer is when kids spend the most time outdoors. They often grab water from the garden hose while they are outside. Children who use the garden hose to water their plants are at greater risk of getting sick, such as Pontiac fever or Legionnaires disease.
They are also at risk of being exposed to dangerous chemicals. Because water from garden hoses can contain bacteria, chemicals, or other toxic materials, it poses a risk to your children’s health. Cadmium, lead and phthalates are just a few of the chemicals that can be found in garden hose water. Install an outdoor sink to provide fresh water for your children while they are outside.
2. Avoid Taking the Risk with Warm Weather Water Activities
Your kids will enjoy water balloon fights, and other water-related activities if they are like most children. You will end up with a messy kitchen and bathroom because they are likely to run inside to use your kitchen faucet. The leading cause of slip-and-fall accidents in the home is water on the floors.
You can provide water access right in your yard to help keep the watery mess out and prevent serious injury. Your kids can fill up their water balloons at the outdoor sink and wash their hands before eating their lunch at the picnic table.
3. Make Sure You Keep the Kitchen Clean.
Summer is upon us, which means you will have to maintain your home and yard. You should be aware that chemicals you touch in your home can get into your eyes.
This means that you can splash chemicals onto your counters and back splashes when you use the sink to wash them. You can also get grease and mud from working in your garden or on your car. An outdoor sink makes it easy to clean up all the mess.
4. You Can Wash Your Dog without the Need to Use the Bathroom
You should wash your pet once per week if you have allergies. Bath time can cause serious damage to your bathroom. If the water is too hot inside the hose, you can burn your dog.
An outdoor sink has the advantage of keeping your dog clean and not making a mess in your bathroom.
5. Outdoor Setup: Improve Your Outdoor Setting
An outdoor sink is essential if you have an outdoor kitchen. Outdoor sinks allow you to cook and clean up your dishes without having to return to your home.
You’ll also be safer. Similar to the water balloons you are less likely to slip and fall on any water that has been spilled while walking between locations.
