We all hear about how important it is to conserve our natural resources. We need to ensure that the next generation has enough to survive and we want to be good stewards of the planet we live on. One of the most important natural resources we have is water. If we are going to keep our planet beautiful, the oceans intact and everything alive and healthy, then each of us should do our part to conserve the amount of water that we consume each day. One major way that many businesses are starting to save water is by using non-water urinals in their restrooms.
How Do Non-Water Urinals Work?
A non-water urinal does not use any water at all, not even for flushing. The bowl of the urinal is slick enough that no urine lingers inside. It all goes down the drain and through a thick layer of blue liquid, underneath which it is trapped. This blue liquid seals in any odors.
Why Install Non-Water Urinals?
-Conserve Water – With non-water urinals, you will notice that your water consumption has been significantly decreased.
-Save Money – With non-water urinals installed, you won’t have to pay nearly as much for water and sewer bills. In addition, since no water is involved, you don’t have to worry about the possibility of the pipes freezing or a water leak causing the urinals to overflow.
-Avoid Bad Odors – Did you know that it is actually the water that causes most of the bad smells associated with the restroom?
The water reacts with the ammonia in the urine, strengthening the odor. With non-water urinals, of course, you avoid this issue entirely. The blue seal liquid keeps all odors and sewer gasses securely down, and there is no need to buy deodorizers to keep the restroom fresh.
