A portable sink and water system that is self-contained and stows and provides the desired functionality of a sink within a relatively small space. Water is contained within the unit internally and opens to an operational setup. The unit uses the volume defined by the sink to stow and contain items of the system such as a faucet spout, hose, handheld sprayer, etc. The volume of the sink is enclosed by a lid. The lid carries the faucet spout, and hinges open to an operational point. The sink can have features that make it easy to use, such as handles, drains, control modules, latches and funnels.

An apparatus includes a base, a reservoir, a vessel, a conduit, a sensor, a resistance measurement wire connected to the conduit, a microprocessor, and a pump. The reservoir is configured to hold a fluid such as water or soap. The microprocessor is configured to receive a signal from the sensor indicative of whether an object (such as a user's hand) is disposed proximate the sensor and receive a second signal from the resistance measurement wire indicative of a resistance measurement of the conduit. The pump is configured to provide a motive force to the fluid through the conduit in a circumstance in which the signal indicates that the object is disposed proximate the sensor and the second signal indicates that the resistance measurement of the conduit is above a threshold, wherein the threshold corresponds to a lack of the fluid in the conduit.

A membrane unit includes: a cross-flow membrane filter; a cylindrical casing housing the membrane filter; a cap provided with an inflow port that allows water to flow into the casing, a first discharge port that discharges, to outside of the casing, permeated water obtained as a result of water that flows into the casing from the inflow port permeating the membrane filter, and a second discharge port that discharges, to the outside of the casing, concentrated water obtained as a result of water being concentrated as a result of the permeated water permeating the membrane filter, the cap detachably occluding the casing; and a positioning member which is fixed to the cap taking the first discharge port as a reference, and which defines a position of the membrane filter inside the casing.

A portable staked accessory holder is an apparatus that is mounted into the ground to uphold various small items. The apparatus includes a post and a stake. The stake drives into the ground. The apparatus further includes a beverage holder with an attached mobile device holder. This holder combination is mounted to the post by a spring clamp. The spring clamp allows the position of the holder combination to be adjusted.
