Ok you have all convinced me to not get rid of it! Thank you
I'm ecstatic for you. That may be a little overboard. But you won't regret it.
Sooo handy and great to have when you need it....for all the reasons people have said.
You don't HAVE to have the resin style on four legs.
Any decent sized sink will do.....the deeper the better because that's just more versatile.
As I said put the old kitchen sink and cabinets in my garage and it looked great. People loved all the storage and convenience of the sink. I'm a SINK* (single income no kids) -- no pun intended -- with no pets to wash. But I used it plenty for cleaning paint brushes, buckets, my hands after gardening, tools......anything that was dirty enough that I sure as heck wasn't going to use my kitchen- or bathroom sink.
I could work on the countertop -- and do crafts. And IF I needed water a faucet was right there.
I hope you enjoy having one.
*Phrases economists/financial planners use: SINK: single income no kids....DINK: dual income no kids.
Definitely a keeper. I had a utility sink installed at my previous house. New house has a large one in basement near laundry. Recently had plumber move laundry from basement to garage and add utility sink in garage. So now I have one in basement and a smaller one in the garage but use both. I would greatly miss having a utility sink if I didn't have one. Well worth the extra expense. KEEP IT. My advice.
We love our utility sink. And now there are pull-out and pull-down faucets available for such sinks with hoses and wands. They are similar in design to a kitchen faucet, but are sold as laundry faucets due to their higher flow rate (kitchen faucets are limited by law not to exceed 2.2 gpm). Kohler offers a pull-out model, and Moen offers a pull-down model; we have the Moen pull-down. Note that most standard laundry sinks are only pre-drilled for standard 2-hole centerset utility faucets, so you will likely have to drill a center hole with a hole saw to install a laundry faucet with a hose and wand.
There used to be one in the laundry room of my house but it was removed by a previous owner, why I don’t know. I’m not replacing it because that is now where a couple of dogs eat & drink, but it sure would be handy for many reasons. I’m glad OP decided to keep theirs, although I have only heard them referred to as laundry sinks. Maybe it’s a regional thing.
I wish almost every day I had gone ahead and had the plumber put a laundry/utility sink in when I bought the house and had him doing my other plumbing stuff. I decided to put it off under the belief of "don't make any major changes until you've been in the house for a year".
All I have is kitchen sink, bathroom sink and stall shower.
