When I'm camping with limited
water, I use a small, pressurized tank with a spray attachment, as is commonly used for chemicals or
wood stain. The water blast will rinse hands or dishes with a small fraction of the water I use from a flowing hose. The water all gets right down to the job, and breaks up the boundary layer without other scrubbing.
Given the water shortage in the US Midwest, I'm wondering if someone here can persuade one of the plumbing manufacturers to make a kitchen faucet accessory to replace a standard aerator.
What I'd like to see would probably have a button that could be pushed in from either side to switch between a standard aerated stream, and a low-volume, high-pressure spray. The current kitchen sprayers are more like sprinklers, and require a hand to use, as well as installation. This would save far more water, and would be easy for most people to install, even in a rental. I'd present it myself, but I don't have the skills, and I don't need the money. I'd be happy to help with design if a company wants help, but usually, the problem is to accept any ideas from outside.
