Abstract

A portable sink with at least one compartment and one faucet mounted on a light weight cabinet with wheels having hot and cold water produced through a faucet from either an internal self contained fresh water tank or an optional external source of water which pass from the sink to a self contained used water holding tank. The cabinet has two doors access the interior thereof. The cabinet holds one self-contained fresh water holding tank and one self-contained used water holding tank. Mounted within the cabinet is an electrical water pump connected to the optional external power source. The heater heats water coming from either the internal or optional external water sources, which is then pumped by the water pump to the faucet and then into the self contained used water tanks.
