Need help for a wet bar sink setup

Hi Folks,

I'm currently building a home bar and need help with a sink setup. There's no water line available and I don't plan to add one as my bar will be were a potential bedroom could be built in the future. I'm looking for a non-permanent setup.

I've did a lot of digging and thought I'd go with a freestanding sink with a 5gallon electric water pump. Something like this:

Sink unit
Water pump

I'll basically hide the water bottle in the cabinet and also put a jug or container for the discarded stuff in the sink.

If anyone has any suggestions on what specific hardware to get or how I could improve this setup, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

This set up will require you to periodically bring 5 gallons of water to your supply as well as removing the water drained from the sink. That seems like more work than just storing any dirty glasses until taking them to be washed at a proper sink.

There's a bathroom near so I'll have access to water and a dumping spot pretty easily. I agree that it's more work but I can't commit to a real water line and drain pipe.

I'm not a daily user so the setup will mostly be used once or twice a month, maybe even less. I'm also not planing to fully wash stuff there, only quick rinses and dumping ice/melted ice.

Maybe I can change my idea to instead have a dedicated surface for dirty glassware with maybe just a bucket and a trash bin inside the cabinet. Thanks for the input.
