Are Waterless Urinals Unsanitary?
No-Flush™ urinals actually improve restroom hygiene: Urine itself is normally sterile, 0% bacterial, unless one has a kidney infection. Fecal matter is 95% bacterial, and may include pathogens.
Microbes, bacteria and viruses thrive in moisture, but they die when dried. There are surface areas in water flush urinals that are constantly damp and where bacterial growths appear. These growth colonies are additionally seeded by fecal material carried in air-borne droplets and aerosols that were produced by the turbulence in flushing the restroom's toilets. When the restroom urinals are themselves flushed, they in turn create aerosols containing the new-growth bacteria, and inject still more microbes into the rest room atmosphere.
Installing No-Flush™ urinals with predominantly dry surfaces and no additional flushing actions lessen rest room visitor exposures to airborne bacteria.
Are Waterless Urinals expensive to operate:
Waterless No-Flush urinals are the most cost effective system on the market. Our EcoTrap® retails for $6.95 ea., and is changed out about 2 to 4 times a year. The competitor’s products are more expensive and unfortunately we are often equated with them.
