Transforming standard urinals into waterless urinals

France waterless urinal device

Transforming standard urinals into waterless urinals

Within minutes any urinal can be transformed into a waterless urinal by installing a siphon and bung designed to perfectly evacuate urine and prevent any upwelling odors. The kit’s disposable impregnated disk has been especially designed to eliminate any odors in the entire room.

The urinal problem: urine is not the culprit

Paradoxically, urine is not the problem posed by urinals: urine is 98% water, its odor as such is not pervasive, and it is generally sterile. The problems originate with the bacteria found in urine solids and the combination of water and urine splashed on toilet walls.

The offensive odor associated with urinals stems from fecal bacteria digesting mono-proteins and setting free ammoniated gases in the process. Humans have low tolerance for ammonia, even at low concentrations.

Toilets are covered with bacteria from fecal matter, which spread in the air every time a toilet is flushed. The bacteria end up on humid toilet facility surfaces, where bacteria can feed and find protection from direct light.

A traditional urinal provides the perfect environment for bad hygiene

Hygiene is a difficult issue in wet or moist toilets. The flushing button can easily transfer pathogens to a person’s hands and thus spread infection.

Our waterless urinal kit impedes bacterial digestion, which produces bad odors, and contributes to improved hygiene by turning the urinal into a “no hands” model.

Water is the ideal environment for harmful bacteria

The constant presence of water in traditional urinals/lavatories results in plenty of wet or humid surfaces, on the bowls, the floors and other parts of the facility, where bacteria develop, and also increases problems related to calcareous, siliceous and salty deposits. Tartar and calcareous deposits, created by the combination of water and urine salts, form a protective barrier for colonies of bacteria. Bacteria and calcareous deposits continue to grow, much like a coral reef, until they form an insoluble uric deposit, which is the main source of offensive odors in urinals, visible as unpleasant spots and capable of stopping up the plumbing.

The absence of water will also prevent uric deposits on the porcelain and in the plumbing. Fecal bacteria can no longer accumulate on urine solids, their feeding ground. Odors are eliminated right from the start.

Unlike traditional urinals, the waterless system keeps surfaces dry, depriving bacteria of the moisture required for the development of harmful bacterial colonies.

Maintenance is low and avoids the use of chemical products which cause damage to both the equipment and the environment.
