What happens here

Recognize how the grommet system within 'The CleanOut Sink' lid addresses a common issue for painters: keeping the intake hose submerged and stable. The grommet allows you to press the intake hose down into the bucket and secures it vertically, ensuring it stays at the bottom. This prevents the hose from pulling out, floating up, or sucking air, which can disrupt spraying. This innovative solution replaces the need for makeshift methods like cut lids, wet rags, or cardboard to hold the hose in place, and prevents debris like leaves or bugs from entering the paint, or paint from skimming over in the sun.

Goal: Prevent intake hose displacement and air suction, and keep paint clean.

Tools and materials

  • Intake Hose — Drawing paint from the bucket
  • Paint Bucket Lowe's — Containing the paint and sprayer components
  • The CleanOut Sink Lid System — Securing the intake hose and sealing the bucket

What they say

Hide

As painters we all fight this. Your intake hose wants to come out of your bucket. You're trying to find where it sets in the bucket where it stays at the bottom. With this grommet it's going to go on here. You're going to press it down inside and then you're going to tighten the cap on. It's going to hold it vertical up and down. It's not going to come out. It's not going to suck air. That's actually a pretty cool solution to one of the problems we find spraying all the time. Absolutely love it. No more cut lids. No more wet rags that are going to dry out. No more cardboard lids. No more trying to find a towel to put over your bucket to keep debris out of your bucket, leaves, bugs and no more paint skimming over in the sun.
