Why waterless urinals?
Urinals made of ceramic, stainless steel or plastic have become indispensable in public and semi-public men's toilets.
Conventional urinals and hybrid urinals require 0.5 to 4 liters of water per flush; Waterless urinals (also known as dry urinals), on the other hand, work without any water or flushing device. Thus, 0-liter urinals save precious drinking water and costs, which is of great importance in times of rising water costs and the scarcity of drinking water.
On the smooth surface of the waterless urinal basin, the urine flows into a siphon with a membrane and a biodegradable odor stone, which serves as an odor trap and is the most important component in waterless operation. The rubber membrane of the odor trap opens when urine enters and closes again airtight when there is no urine. This means that there are no unpleasant odors.
The numerous advantages of this technology are obvious
- No fresh water is used, which protects the environment and reduces the amount of CO2 produced in the production of drinking water
- The costs for fresh and wastewater are saved overall (depending on the property, water price and frequency of use, an ROI of <2 years can be achieved, and then you make «profit»)
- The care and maintenance intensity is significantly lower compared to the urinal with water flush
- The follow-up costs, e.g. through repairs to the electronic urinal flushing systems, are lower because no expensive urinal controls are required
- Lower investment costs for new buildings because no drinking water supply, no electronic control, etc. are required
- Since no connection to the drinking water system is required, a waterless urinal can be installed with very little effort
- Sewer exhaust gases cannot penetrate the membrane odor trap
- Waterless urinals have no flushing rim or other joints in which bacteria could settle and are therefore perfectly hygienic
- Operation is completely contactless, as no actuation plate («no push button») has to be pressed to trigger the flush
- There is no urine stone (chemical reaction of lime-containing rinse water with urine) because there is no water, so biological sanitary cleaners are completely sufficient for cleaning
- The “pure” urine can be collected without dilution or contamination and used as fertilizer
- Last but not least, waterless urinals also reduce CO2 emissions and improve your ecological footprint
