Q. Are Waterless Urinals hygienic?
A. Yes, they are hygienic. Because bacteria needs water to grow you will find less bacteria in waterless urinals than you will in traditional flushing urinals.

Q. Will they smell of urine?
A. No, they won’t smell of urine. The blocking fluid in the waste trap stops any smell of urine coming from the urinal itself. The daily cleaning process, using antibacterial wax spray, helps prevent urine sticking to the sides of the urinal.

Q. How often will I replace the blocking fluid?
A. It all depends upon how often the urinal is used. It lasts for approximately 5,000 to 7,000 visits, so it may be once a year or several times a year.

Q. Is it expensive to change existing urinals to waterless?
A. No, the savings in water and wastewater charges together with the reduction in maintenance costs offset the original expense. Once the original cost is recovered there are considerable savings made which provide a positive return on the investment.
