Where Does Used Water Go In A Portable Sink?

Greywater tank, a separate wastewater storage tank

In a portable sink, used sink water drains into a separate wastewater storage tank, also known as a greywater tank. This tank collects the water that has been used for handwashing or other activities, preventing it from contaminating the freshwater supply. The wastewater tank should be monitored regularly to ensure it does not become too full. When the greywater tank reaches capacity, it should be emptied and cleaned according to the manufacturer's guidelines or local regulations. The collected wastewater should be disposed of responsibly, typically by draining it into a designated sewer system or approved disposal site.
