Abstract:
A water recycling hand washing basin assembly comprising:a main structure forming a basin and a hub portion; a drain positioned in said basin for receiving water collected in said basin; a filter assembly coupled to said drain whereby water received by said drain passes through said filter assembly; a water reservoir tank coupled to said filter assembly for collecting water passing through said filter assembly; a pump assembly for pumping water from said water reservoir tank; a dispersal conduit for receiving water pumped from said water reservoir tank; a water outlet coupled to said hub portion, said water outlet being in environmental communication with said dispersal conduit whereby water passing through said dispersal conduit passes through said water outlet, said water outlet being positioned above said basin whereby said basin collects water dispensed from said water outlet; a soap dispensing assembly coupled to said main structure; and said basin having an inwardly curved upper lip having a peripheral edge turning downwardly such that an apex of an interior surface of said basin is positioned offset and above said peripheral edge of said basin to minimize loss of water from splashing of water out of said basin over said upper lip.
