washtub Explanation: I don't know any other word for this. I realize that in many cases, the "tanque" is actually a built-in sink, or set of twin sinks, outside the house rather than a separate portable tub. Washtub should do it. Washboard is the term for the ridged surface built into a tanque OR for a separate plank with such a surface (usually a metal ridged surface) |

washtub, laundry sink Explanation: If it's fixed, it's a sink, not a washtub. This in spite of the name "bathtub". |

washtub/ laundry sink Explanation: In my experience, both words will do. You can use any of them: washtub or laundry sink. |
