Abstract: A portable hand wash unit is comprised of a tank having a dispenser housing hinged to the upper portion of the tank. The dispenser housing is shaped to define a pair of wash basins, each having a water outlet connected in continuous communication with a metering receptacle and each basin having a soap dispenser pump connected in communicating relation with a soap reservoir. Each wash basin is provided with a manual water pump which pumps clear water from a bag of water within the tank through the inlet of each metering receptacle. The inlet for each metering receptacle has a cross-sectional size approximately twice the cross-sectional size of the water outlet, thereby allowing a user the time needed to wash his hands after the user has finished operation of the water pump.
