A guidewire holder is provided that stores a coiled guidewire substantially immersed in a storage fluid and allows for a facilitated retrieval of the guidewire. The guidewire holder is generally configured as a shallow pan in a circular shape with an outer periphery to retain the coiled guidewire. The outer periphery includes a concave inner wall and a set of ribs that generally retain the coiled guidewire on the outer periphery. An access area is provided to suspend a portion of the guidewire away from the outer periphery to enable a medical practitioner to reach into the guidewire holder and grasp a portion of the guidewire in order to easily extract the coiled guidewire from the holder. An inner periphery reduces the amount of storage fluid needed to immerse the guidewire and is used in combination with the outer periphery to provide a location for comfortably holding the guidewire holder. Multiple holders may be coupled together so as to be stacked on top of each other.

The toilet tank with sediment removal assembly of claim 3, wherein the one of the number of walls of the water storage tank is an end wall. 5. The toilet tank with sediment removal assembly of claim 4, wherein the open free end of the sediment removal pipe is facing a side edge of the side wall. 6. The toilet tank with sediment removal assembly of claim 1, wherein the open free end of the sediment removal pipe is facing a side edge of a wall of the water storage tank, thereby creating a circular water flow in the water storage tank. 7. The toilet tank with sediment removal assembly of claim 1, further comprising: an annular member operatively associated with the water inlet; and a number of outlet ports to discharge water in laterally directed streams into the water storage tank. 8. The toilet tank with sediment removal assembly of claim 1, wherein the sediment removal pipe further comprises a number of discharge openings located on a portion of the sediment removal pipe that lies on the bottom wall. 9. A method for removing sediment in a toilet tank, comprising: providing a water storage tank with a bottom wall, a water inlet, a drain outlet, and a sediment removal pipe operatively associated with the water inlet, the sediment removal pipe having at least one discharge opening, the discharge opening comprising an open free end of the sediment removal pipe; laying the open free end of the sediment removal pipe on the bottom wall of the water storage tank; receiving an amount of water into the water storage tank through the water inlet; aiming the at least one discharge opening along the bottom wall; and raising an amount of sediment along the bottom wall and directing the amount of sediment out of the water storage tank through the drain outlet by discharging the amount of water into the water storage tank through the at least one discharge opening. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the aiming of the discharge opening along the bottom wall further comprises aiming the at least one discharge opening away from a first wall of the water storage tank and toward a second wall of the water storage tank, the first wall being located opposite the second wall. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the aiming of the discharge opening along the bottom wall further comprises aiming the at least one discharge opening along a lower edge of one of a number of walls of the water storage tank, thereby creating a circular water flow in the water storage tank. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein the aiming of the discharge opening along the bottom wall further comprises facing the at least one discharge opening toward a side edge wall of the water storage tank, thereby creating a circular water flow in the water storage tank. 13. The method of claim 9, further comprising: providing an annular member operatively associated with the water inlet, the annular member including at least one outlet port laterally directed into the water storage tank long the bottom wall; and discharging the amount of water through the at least one outlet port along the bottom wall. 14. The method of claim 9, further comprising: providing a number of discharge openings located on a portion of the sediment removal pipe; and laying the portion of the sediment removal pipe having the discharge openings on the bottom wall. aced within the carrier, said second hood being independently extendable to cover a portion of the bottom surface, said first hood and second hood having interfacing edges that can be closed together by a fastener, a first hood storage channel in the top end of said first hood, a second hood storage channel in the bottom end of said second hood, said first hood storage channel and said second hood storage channel each having fasteners to open and to close the channels, whereby said first and second hoods may be extended from their channels when the channel is opened and stored in their channels when the hoods are retracted and their channel is closed. 2.
