Question
I have a few Muslim clients who keep watering cans next to every toilet in their homes. I would never ask them why because I think it would be much too personal.  My staff also find this very intresting yet none of us can imagine what they are for.  Is this too personal for you to explain this?

Answer
Hi,
I think that they are using these cans for "Wudhu" (Ablution for Prayer).

It is not Necessary to use such cans for "Wudhu". Any clean water from any source can be used.

for more information about "Wudhu" (Ablution for Prayer) you may refer to the follwoing link:
