Designed by Nicholas Paterson, Kohler offers the opportunity to save water and reduce sewage and maintenance costs while also providing outstanding performance and stylish design to users. Once the liquid waste has passed through, the less dense sealing liquid maintains its position at the top of the trapway, thus providing an impermeable barrier that blocks odors. Quote from the website : “The geometry of the urinal not only provides a fresh, architectural design, but also virtually eliminates splashing. Additionally, the touch-free operation improves hygiene for all users and is more vandal-resistant due to the absence of a flush valve”. I think these are going to be used in all bathroom somewhere near in the future.

That is definitely a step up, but what about those who fail to step foward. Most of the public restrooms show signs of males failing to make that perfect aim, plus there will always be those who wish to mark their territory. “I got it!” How about a public restroom equiped with a PVC rod along the stretch of the basedoard that sprays thin multiple stream of disinfectant, which will clean the floor and deodorize the place. This type of rod that is activated by reverse motion sensors(when the restroom is empty. It’ll save the owners mone on dealing with the lazy restroom techs that hate cleaning urinals and floors.
Get ready to redesign the entire sewage system and sorrounding infrastructure associated with waste treatment and agriculture as a whole.

The missing the mark will always be an issue no matter what you put in.
1 The real problem is the smell of the waterless urinals, they have a small bucket setting inside the urinal with a compound which floats above the undiluted urine, (which is supposed to seal
against the bucket walls) but the urine wicks up beside the compound causing a horrible odor.
2 with pure urine going down the drain pipe without the dilution of water, the build up of calcium and etc will be very tough to unstop in a very short time.
Kohler says your supposed to maintain the urinal with pouring water into it daily and washing it down.
come on folks most places dont have a urinal flushing service to clean it, nothing replaces the flushometer yet. 3 Have you had to change the bucket after 6000 uses ????

@D. Lew,
your suggested idea about the automatic cleaning using the pvc rod seems perfect, no need to hire any manpower to clean up the rest room. your idea could be applied in the near future when waterless urinal is set up.
@Ron T
you don’t have to worry about the odor, its not just waterless but its also odorless. it can last forever if you well maintained it in a regular basis.
