Attach it easily to your existing furniture. This hack is great for street vendors, creches, and other places where handwashing is essential. It’s hygienic and operated with a pedal.
Use nails. Then, hammer 2 nails directly in the big planks.
The nails and the wooden pieces will serve to hang the structure to the table or the kitchen module where the tap will be. If this doesn’t work, you can also nail the planks directly onto your furniture.
Here, you will attach the rope that is pulling the canister later on.
Hammer the nails one-third of the way and then bend them with pliers.
After the nails are curved like arcs, hammer them again to fix them in the board.
On the surface where the pedal will be fixed (make sure it’s a stable surface), hammer and bend nails just like in the previous step, but this time in a perpendicular direction. The curved nails should interlock and create a hinge.
For this instruction we used a wooden board because we did not have a surface where we could attach the pedal to.
One at the front and one at the back. The front hole is where the water will come out. The back hole is important for the water flow.
Make sure the rope is not falling on the front of the canister but on the side where you will put your pedal. Then close the lid tight. Put a nail on the rod next to the handle of the canister (on the side where the pedal is) to stabilize it.
In unused position the pedal should be almost vertical like on the picture.
