A container of 5 liter with a small hole near the cap is filled with water and tipped with a stick and rope tied trough a hole in the cap. As only the soap is touched with the hands, the device is very hygienic. A gravel bed is used to soak away the water and prevent mosquitos. When the container is empty, the cap is unscrewed and the container is removed from the stick. The container is then filled again at a water pump, and reassembled.

__NOTOC__A first version of the Tippy Tap was designed by Dr. Jim Watt of the Salvation Army in Chiweshe, Zimbabwe, and was called the Mukombe. The Mukombe is a type of gourd or calabash, which can be used as the can. But many vessels can be used in the same way, such as those used for cooking oil or milk. Tippy taps are promoted by UNICEF and WaterAid in Uganda, and are used in India, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia.

The Tippy Tap Experience has shown that it is better to use a simple device for hand washing with running water. A container piece of 5 liter with metal wire than using a small hole near piece of rope, as the cap is filled with water and tipped with a stick and rope tied trough will often break after a hole in the cap. As only the soap is touched with the hands, the device is very hygienic. A gravel bed is used to soak away the water and prevent mosquitoswhile.

When the container is emptyDifferent models are being used, all under the cap is unscrewed and the container is removed from the stick. The container is then filled again, and reassembledname "Tippy Tap".
