First ceramic urinals with serviceable water locks

Watersave has released the first ceramic urinals with serviceable water locks in Australia, cisternless urinals which work without flushing.

Until now, only fibreglass versions of the Uridan water-free urinals have been available in Australia.

Two ceramic models have now been released, KH-2 and KHC-2. KH-2 is the same shape as the existing fibreglass model GH-1 and KHC-2 is the same shape as the fiberglass model GHC-1.

Both ceramic and fibreglass models have high quality finishes.

The innovative urinals have become popular since Watersave Australia introduced fibreglass versions here in 2004. Thousands of them have been installed in commercial buildings across Australia.

Ceramic versions of the urinals seem likely to become just as popular, with 120 of them having been installed already in one office building in Sydney.

A director of Watersave, Paul Marsh, says, “Demand for our water-free urinals is highest among architects and other specifiers who chose them for office buildings.

“The urinals are so popular because they not only look stylish but also save money by not using water,” he says.

They are cheaper to buy and install in new buildings than flushing urinals because they do not need cisterns, flushing valves or water pipes.

Yet they are hygienic as the urine drains through a stainless steel cover and into an oil-covered waste trap, which acts like an “S” bend, into the waste pipe. A floating layer of biodegradable vegetable oil in the trap covers the urine and eliminates odours.

Uridan urinals are easier to clean and maintain than ordinary urinals, says the distributor, as they do not have a flushing rim and their lack of water prevents the build-up of ammonia and bacteria.

Watersave Australia Pty Ltd distributes the urinals throughout Australia and New Zealand for manufacturers in Denmark. Contact Watersave Australia Pty Ltd, 12/53 Myoora Road, Terrey Hills, NSW, 2084; phone 1300 368 603; fax 02 9986 2711; email info@watersave.com.au . #
