Urinals
Bathrooms can become more eco-friendly and hygienic with the installation of a urinal. Urinals require less water per flush and can be used to increase the functionality of your bathroom. Common in commercial installations, urinals now are becoming increasingly popular in residential design. It is a specialized toilet for urinating only. Typical urinals require 1 gallon per flush or less.
As a way of saving additional water you may consider a waterless urinals. Similar to touchless models, waterless urinals do not use manual flush valves, thus reducing the spread of germs and bacteria in a busy restroom setting. When used in a commercial setting, each waterless urinal fixture can save your business an estimated 40,000 gallons of water per year.
How a Waterless Urinal Works
To use a waterless urinal properly, it is necessary to purchase two chemicals agents that work along with the fixture. One, an oil-based preparation, is called sealing fluid and is placed beneath the debris filter or strainer that is an integral part of the urinal. The sealing fluid traps urine in a low-oxygen environment before it flows into the waste pipe and eliminates unpleasant odors. Some urinals are cartridge based and use pre-filled sealing fluid cartridges. If you use non-cartridge waterless urinals, you can purchase the sealing fluid separately.
The second item you need is a cleaning fluid that simply keeps your fixtures odor and germ free and ready to use. The unique shape of waterless urinals is constructed with anti-splash surfaces that may be cleaner than traditional fixtures. Waterless urinals, much like remote-controlled bidet toilet seats, make it easier to take care of personal needs with the advent of high technology.
