Lots of busywork compared to regular flush urinals that can be cleaned with a johnny mop and a bucket of water with bleach. Sloan told me that only certain kinds of cleaners can be used. They don't even want neutral cleaner or water getting into the cartridge. Otherwise the floating sealant is destroyed. I can vouch for that. Sloan will not sell the packets of liquid sealant by themselves! Three times a day, the urinals get misted, wiped, misted and wiped again. We are going through a lot of paper towels and latex gloves! I'd much rather have the regular flush urinals as they required much less busy work and materials. The Sloan waterfree urinals are quite maintenance intensive and require special cleaning techniques.

The acid in urine (uratic acid maybe?) actually is very abrasive to a china finish if it is not cleaned from the surface(such as a flush cycle) Maybe a flush valve could be designed that use a combination of a fraction of a gallon mixed with a biodegradable sanitizing solution for each of the manual flushes and then have a maintanance flush that flushed based on a cycle count and would be a full volume flush to clean the surface more thouroughly. The waterless sounds great on the surface but the maintenance/housekeeping issues make it the not so perfect solution I have been in the plumbing supply business for over twenty years and i think ron is much closer to the solution.

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. @D.

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 ???? The missing the mark will always be an issue no matter what you put in.

Lew Wed, 15 Aug 2007 03:10:28 +0000 http://tuvie.com/waterless-urinal-from-kohler-avoid-splashing/#comment-4 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.
