Need a Way to Wash Hand with Fresh Water
I would like to know if there is a simple device for washing hand with
fresh water. My boat is a 18-ft center console that is too small for adding a sink and faucet in it; moreover, a sink and faucet is overkill for my need. I will wash my hand in sal****er, and then use freshwater as the last step to wash away the sal****er from my hand. Therefore, I only need a small amount of fresh water. I have a feeling that one- gallon of freshwater should be more than enough for several persons use in a fishing trip. I would like to know a neat way to accomplish this. What I am looking for is something works like a garden hand-pump spray bottle. Then I can put the water tank under the floor, run a short lengh of water hose to the back of the boat and connecting to a small water faucet, somehow having a small hand pump next to the faucet. When I need to use it, all I need to do is pump it several times, turn on the faucet to let out a stream of water spray to wash the sal****er away from my hand (or wash the eyeglasses), let the water to run down to the floor and get air dried or drained to the scuppers. When I am done, I simply turn off the faucet. The next guy who wants to use it probably doesn't need to pump because there should still be enough water pressure in the system. Is there such a thing available in the market? Currently, I use a one-gal water bottle and pour over my hands. But this is not neat and is not elegant. Moreover, this tends to use more water than I really need. I have thought of using a store-bought large spring water tank that has a small faucet at the bottom and use gravity to dispense the water. But this requires me to put the water tank a couple feet above the floor. I would like to put the water tank under the floor to lower the center of gravity as much as possible (afterall it is a small boat). Thanks for any pointer in advance. Jay Chan |

Jay Chan Why do you need to wash off the salt water all the time. Just pour a little fresh water from a drinking water bottle on the hands if you need to get the salt off. Sal****er will not hurt you. I wash off the bait juice all the time by dipping my hands in the ocean. Then use a towel to dry my hands. |

There are collapsable water tanks available and hand pressure pumps you can find at West Marine - they act like a regular hand pump. However, if all you need is a gallon or so, just get one of those gallon bug spray or weed killer bottles, empty out the chemical, wash with detergent and voila - a gallon of fresh water with a spray head. Or go to a agricultural supply store like Agway or Tractor Supply and get a pressurized bug sprayer. http://www.mytscstore.com/images/pro...00/4401062.jpg Or even carry a couple of cleaning spray bottles with water in them. There are lots of simple options. Including just rinsing your hands in salt water - won't hurt you. |

Something like a pump sprayer might do the trick. You know the kind you get at the home center for around $15.00. Its not going to pump out loads of water but it might do the trick. You could modify the nozzle and make something work Im sure. Otherwise, Switch over to a 2-liter bottle and embrace squeeze technology to regulate the water pressure and add just a dash of hand soap to the mix. I even use hot water when its cold outside. Let us know how you make out. db |

The portable hand wash stations I've seen for sale don't match your needs. I suggest a suitable vented plastic tank to which you attach a 12v RV-type pump, or an automotive windshield pump. You can run a rubber water line and the switch wiring to where you want it in the boat, spraying over the side or over a pan. Use a nozzle that produces the spray you want. The switch can be foot operated if you so desire. Not much different than a car windshield washer setup. It will be an elegant and useful addition to your boat if properly done, and soon your boating friends will want one too (-: --Vic |

What I am looking for is something works like a garden hand-pump spray bottle. Then I can put the water tank under the floor, run a short lengh of water hose to the back of the boat and connecting to a small water faucet, somehow having a small hand pump next to the faucet. When I need to use it, all I need to do is pump it several times, turn on the faucet to let out a stream of water spray to wash the sal****er away from my hand (or wash the eyeglasses), let the water to run down to the floor and get air dried or drained to the scuppers. When I am done, I simply turn off the faucet. The next guy who wants to use it probably doesn't need to pump because there should still be enough water pressure in the system. Is there such a thing available in the market? Currently, I use a one-gal water bottle and pour over my hands. But this is not neat and is not elegant. Moreover, this tends to use more water than I really need. I have thought of using a store-bought large spring water tank that has a small faucet at the bottom and use gravity to dispense the water. But this requires me to put the water tank a couple feet above the floor. I would like to put the water tank under the floor to lower the center of gravity as much as possible (afterall it is a small boat). Thanks for any pointer in advance. Jay Chan You cannot be serious. Please tell me this is a joke.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Why is it a joke? I always carry a water bottle for washing the salt from my hands after I have washed my hand in sea water.

Anyway, I am glad that I have several different choices available (a spray bottle, a hand powered water pump, or an electric powered water pump). I am all set. Nice to talk with you. Jay Chan |

This latest one just seemed extremely obvious and, well, odd..... and then I noticed that he was using the same posting schema as the old anon-posting smithers.... made me even more suspicious.... Gene, I have never used an anon-posting address or machine. Gene is clueless as usual. I really don't know, because I didn't bother to follow his previous thread or see if anyone was posting via an .edu account, but if he thinks I have ever used an anon-posting method or a similar posting schema as anyone else in here, then he is clueless. |

Have your pharmacy order you a bottle of U-Lactin. CVS can get it. $10 for 16 oz. My doctor and the pharmacist were at a loss to explain why it's not stocked along with all the other skin creams. It's great stuff. Non-prescription. |

One of my sisters has a similar skin problem. If she isn't careful about what gets on her hands she ends up with sores. That water bottle works. But it is a bit too ad-hoc and tends to use more water than needed. That's the reason why I want to find something more convenient. The portable hand wash stations I've seen for sale don't match your needs. I suggest a suitable vented plastic tank to which you attach a 12v RV-type pump, or an automotive windshield pump. You can run a rubber water line and the switch wiring to where you want it in the boat, spraying over the side or over a pan. Use a nozzle that produces the spray you want. The switch can be foot operated if you so desire. Not much different than a car windshield washer setup. It will be an elegant and useful addition to your boat if properly done, and soon your boating friends will want one too (-: --Vic Sorry to hear that your sister has a similar skin problem on her hands. Mine was coming from washing dishes, and may have to do with the use of detergent. Guess what, this problem tends to run in the same family (my brother also has the same problem). This means you may develop this problem if you wash dishes without wearing gloves. Anyway, I have found several hand-powered marine water pump fixtures in one of the marine supply store. Somehow, they are not as inexpensive as what I thought. In fact, they cost more or less the same as a simple electric water pump fixture. I guess I may have to go for the simple electric water pump instead of the hand powered version that I originally looked for. Oh well; but at least I have a choice :) Jay Chan |
