Save litres of water with every non-flush! The average public restroom fitted with waterless urinal valves saves 1000s of litres per annum.
A dry urinal surface is hostile to bacteria as bacteria need moisture to thrive. Also eliminated – unhealthy bacterial aerosols!
Reducing water flow can lead to soft sludge build up and blocked pipes. With a waterless urinal valve there is no water, therefore there will be no floods.
Remove grate, waste fitting and trap. Clean trap, then firmly insert the waterless valve directly into waste line. Check for leaks then turn off the water!
Clean regularly with soft soapy water and replace valves every 6 months. That’s it!
No water supply pipes, flush control systems, cistern or downpipes to install or maintain.
No dome, so it is easily accessible for cleaning. Only mild soapy water required to clean and rinse. No harsh or expensive chemicals required!
Because urine drains into the patented airtight seal before draining down the waste pipe, the strong smells are trapped behind the seal unable to escape back into the restroom.
Remove the grate, waste fitting and trap form the existing ceramic unit.
Clean away any debris/old putty from the unit and make sure the waste line is clear of any sludge or blockages.
Install the waste and connect straight into the waste line using flexible piping or an elbow and connectors.
(Use sikaflex/silicon to make sure the waste is firmly fitted into the urinal)
Firmly insert the FreeFlowing Waterless Urinal Valve into the waste and check for leaks.
Turn off the water supply.
The FreeFlowing Waterless Urinal Valve requires very little maintenance. Simply clean with water and neutral detergent (soft soap) only. No acid or harsh chemicals.
We recommend using Sannitree’s Urinal Deep Cleaner – a specially formulated urinal cleaner that is especially effective for eliminating foul organic odours around urinals and is made from liquid enzymes.
Urine drains from the bowl into the Free-Flowing valve. It enters the patented airtight seal, flowing into the waste pipe. The urine simply drains away without the need for water and also eradicating bad smells and lime scale.
Regardless of what type of urinals or flushing system you currently have, water-free urinals will make your men’s restroom an even more healthier place.
As well as offering significant water savings, water-free urinals eliminate many of the problems associated with flushing urinals, namely scale, odour, blockage and subsequent flooding.
The water-free or waterless urinal is healthier and more hygienic than other alternatives because it is both dry and flush-less. With waterless urinals, bacteria don’t have the moisture they need to thrive.
The dry urinal surface of a water-free urinal is liquid repellent and hostile to bacteria. Urinals that are flushed are known to spread bacterial aerosols, which then seed in nearby wet and damp spots to form new growths. All of this is eliminated with the waterless FreeFlowing Urinal Valve.
Reducing the water flow or pressure can cause a much bigger problem that could cost thousands in the long-term. Soft sludge builds up in the pipes leading to blockages and floods.
BUT controlling the flush is a hidden disaster waiting to happen! Here’s what happens:
When the mixture of urine and water is static in the S-Bend, the uric acid salts in the urine and the lime-scale in the water crystallize and form hard residues. Over time this severely blocks the outflow pipes.
Therefore a soft sludge forms, mixed with debris such as hair, this forms a “hedgehog” which causes blockages and bad smells.
