 TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT NEEDED

Cut-off Machine​ – is used to cut 2” pvc pipes

o a hacksaw or ​“lagaring bakal”​ is our proposed alternative tool; however, this would affect the build time of Sanitent.

Hacksaw blade – is used to strike the edges of the pvc pipes in order to increase the efficiency of the solvent cement in joining the pvc pipes to its
fittings.

Hand Drill​ – is used to screw the pvc strips and blue sack to the pvc pipes.

o a screwdriver is our proposed alternative tool; however, this would affect the build time of Sanitent.

LABOR QUOTATION

For those with skilled workers, this would take 1-2 persons (1 skilled, 1 helper) to build at a maximum of 1.5 days.

o Skilled (700.00php/day - 1,000.00php/day)

o Helper (550.00php/day - 650.00php/day)

For those who will be doing this themselves with no helper, this would take at a maximum of 3 days to build, but would be able to save up on the cost.

While we finish the instruction manual for the diffuser system,

client may proceed with purchasing a ​Plastic Knapsack Sprayer
with the following specifications:

- that has a built-in motor

- an optional pump for remote areas
- has an option of being plugged to AC and/or is
rechargeable

We are using the knapsack sprayer shown in the photo but

any sprayer with similar specifications will do. This particular model
has a built-in motor, is rechargeable and can also be pumped
manually. Please consider the electric ones for ease-of-use.

We will be releasing more detailed instructions soon.

Chemicals must be handled with care by duly licensed professionals.

Please stay tuned for updates.

 About SaniTents PH

SaniTents PH is an idea which was concretized and put into work by hundreds of concerned, knowledgeable, and capable individuals.

August Patacsil is a BFA Industrial Design graduate from UP Diliman who saw the immediate need for a ​movement-friendly and ​readily available
solution to the sanitation problem which COVID-19 brought to the fore. At the onset of the pandemic, he posted a rough sketch of the idea on
Narinig ko sa UP, also known as UP Overheard, a Facebook group composed mostly of members of the UP community and started crowdsourcing.
It garnered an overwhelming amount of responses offering suggestions, assistance, and willingness to include everyone in the fight to survive the
health crisis.

Thus, SaniTents PH mandate is that of Urgency, Efficiency, and Inclusivity.

Specifically, SaniTents PH wants to:

1. create sanitation corridors​, or SaniTents, which are:

(a) safe and effective in disinfecting persons passing thru the product;
(b) user-friendly, durable, and long-lasting;
(c) easily replicable in public spaces, considering costs and physical constraints.

2. to make the idea ​available for general consumption​, with emphasis on the actions of Local Government Units (LGUs).

3. to encourage ​a culture of cooperation and correct social distancing​ in the climate set by COVID-19.

In order to put this into concrete action, the team has conceptualized SaniTents to have 3 main components: ​Structure, Diffuser, ​and
Disinfectant Solution.

 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Booth Frame

Q: Can we use other material aside from PVC Pipe?

A: Yes, as long as it will make the booth sturdy and stable.

Q: Can we use Galvanized Iron or any other metal in lieu of PVC Pipes?
A: Yes, but we recommend ​plastic material​ to avoid corrosion.

Q: Our area is windy and it causes the booth to sway. What should we do?
A: Place strings on both sides to prevent swaying (same concept with tents).

Q: Can we use a smaller size of PVC piping?

A: We do not recommend smaller sizes of PVC Pipes. As much as possible, use 50 mm or 2 inches in diameter pipes and fittings.

Q: Can we make a smaller booth? We think that the area of 1.5m x 1.5m might be too large for a single person and is costly.
A: Yes, you can. However, we recommend that you follow what is designed because it complies with an architectural clearance standard (1.5 m)
which accommodates Persons With Disabilities (PWDs).

Q: For the PVC Curtain Strip, can we use a normal plastic cover?
A: Yes.

Q: Can we use any thickness of plastic cover?

A: Yes, but we recommend at least 1mm.

Q: Are there any alternatives for the plastic enclosure?

A: Yes. You can use ​trapal, tarpaulin, garbage bag, celluloid​, or anything that could enclose the booth.

Q: For the anti-slip matting, what do you recommend?

A: Dog house flooring
 Q: What is the recommended maintenance practice?
A: Always ensure the drip tray is drained once the day ends and the whole booth is washed with clean water.

Q: Can we upgrade the design?

A: Definitely. We classify our design as “open-source”. Anyone who wants to build our design can revise it as one deems necessary for their area.

Knapsack Sprayer (Garden Sprayer)

Q: Can we use any garden sprayer?

A: Yes, but we recommend the Knapsack sprayer that has a ​micro-misting feature​.

Chemical Solution

Q: When will you release the information about the chemical solution?
A: We are just ironing out the details. Please stay tuned for more updates.
