water would be permitted to flow down the drain 34 importantly when the bucket 18 is suspended in the basin 14 or placed on a rack 16 in the basin 14 the openings 42 of the bucket 18 place the inner volume of the bucket 18 and the basin 14 in fluid communication with one another thus when the bucket 18 is filled with water by the faucet 24 and the water level in the bucket 18 reaches the openings 42 the excess water overflows through the openings 42 and into the basin 14 of the sink 12 it should be appreciated that in addition to providing overflow capabilities the openings 42 of the bucket 18 may serve as a pouring spout this may be beneficial when the bucket 18 is filled with water the clothes and cleaner are placed in the bucket 18 and left to soak outside of the basin 14 when the water in the bucket 18 needs to be emptied the bucket 18 may be tilted such that the water runs out of one of the openings 42 the openings 42 may be formed on a non vertical surface for surface to easy pouring for example if the openings 42 are formed on the angled side portion 38 of the walls as shown it reduces the angle at which the bucket 18 must be tilted before pouring action begins i e the water level will more quickly approach the openings 42 when the side portion 38 of the walls are angled further the openings 42 of the bucket.
