Introduction
Flow Sink is a novel product that combines the portability of a bucket with the water supply and drain of a sink, to provide clean running water to any work area where cleanup requires more than one bucket of water. It can be set up in minutes anywhere in a home or building, and provides a source of fresh water, replenished as needed, while discharging the wastewater outdoors or in a specified locations. Technical risk is extremely low, because we have a working prototype in hand, which can be easily mass-produced at an acceptable price point.
Working with a local patent agent we have filed utility patent.
Problem
I do a lot of kitchens and bathrooms which requires a lot of tile work. I found myself spending more time changing out my grout water, running up and down stairs and worrying about spilling dirty grout water in the client’s house. I started developing a bucket that would make my job easier. and as I developed the Flow Sink I found more uses for it.
Solution
Flow Sink is essentially a portable sink, with running water and a drain, for use in situations where clean water is a necessity. Setup takes no more than five minutes and the time saved during work is priceless. Flow Sink is a product that will improve the ability to clean in situations where it is difficult or almost impossible, offering the ability to setup a sink anywhere it is needed. Flow Sink will decrease work time for contractors and enable them to clean their working tools in the room in which they are working. Flow Sink will enable home owners to deep clean their entire house without having to carry heavy buckets through their house or pour dirty water down their sinks, possibly clogging the drain. Flow Sink is beneficial in other situations such as: Camping, Food Vending, Mopping, Painting, Grouting Tile, etc. For contractors in particular, the value proposition of the product is compelling and obvious, because the modest price of the product will rapidly pay for itself in time saved. And every contractor knows that time is money!
Target Market
My initial target market is the tile layers and painters. In 2013 the US had 66,000 tile laying business and 261,000 painter business, for a total of 327,000 initial target businesses. Flow Sink will decrease the time involved in cleanup while painting or laying tile. Flow sink will cut the time grouting tile in ½. Flow Sink allows painters to clean in the very room that is being painted. Alleviates using clients sink or outside area to wash equipment.
The Company
Flow Sink began in 2004 when Martin A. Wade owner of M & W Reality Properties (a general contracting company) found an issue with grouting tile. In the traditional method, huge amounts of time and effort is spent dumping, cleaning and refilling the bucket of water needed to clean the excess grout. After spending far too many hours running up and down stairs worried about spilling dirty water in the client’s house, I hatched the idea of a bucket with its own fresh water supply and drain hose. I have made numerous refinements and now have a prototype that works extremely well and makes the job much easier.
Mission
Our mission goes beyond simply creating a tool that will make a job easier. Overcoming adversity has given us the drive to succeed and the desire to create jobs for others. We are introduced to many challenges in life, and some are more difficult then others. But these challenges can make us stronger if we learn from them, pray for clarity, and apply ourselves with constructive actions to relieve whatever the situation may be. In this process of going through the dark there is always light. The light is the lesson learned and if we take the time to open our eyes to what is truly happening we will find the good in the situation. It is then that we can appreciate life’s struggles. These lessons are building blocks to future successes. It is only that the struggle applies more pressure then ease of life. If this is understood the struggle becomes more motivating and valuable. Future successes is the result of this process.
Passion
The passion for developing Flow Sink comes from a place that is completely not related. Experiencing my family and friends endure life’s struggles, from losing possessions and families being torn apart due to the economic slump in our country over the last ten years, has been more than character building. It has tested everyone’s faith and resolve. The beauty of it all is even through our struggles we still strive for a successful future. I am driven to offer another opportunity to boost our economy by creating jobs and offering long term stability to employees who are as passionate about life as I am, as well as offering an opportunity for those who are lost and need a to improve their situation. Building people up from their struggles and offering encouragement, success, love, understanding and personal improvement, help us all make the world a better place, one job and one product at a time.
