We asked Barb, an artificial intelligence service now being introduced by Google, to answer this question:
What are some things we need to know about waterless urinals?
With some corrections noted below, here is what Barb said we need to know about waterless urinals:
Waterless urinals are a type of urinal that does not use water to flush. They work by using a barrier to prevent odors from escaping, and they can save a significant amount of water.
Waterless urinals can save up to 50,000 gallons of water per year per urinal. This can be a significant savings for businesses and other organizations that use a lot of water.
(NOTE: This figure is too high. It is estimated now that waterless urinals save about 35,000 gallons of water per year).
Waterless urinals are also more environmentally friendly than traditional urinals. They do not require water to operate, and they do not produce wastewater.
Waterless urinals can be more expensive to purchase than traditional urinals, but they can save money in the long run, due to no water charges and maintenance costs.
(NOTE: Waterless urinals typically cost less to purchase than conventional urinals. There are fewer components).
Waterless urinals can be a good option for businesses and other organizations looking to save water and money. They are more environmentally friendly than traditional urinals and can save money on water and maintenance costs.
Here are some considerations Barb suggested when choosing a waterless urinal:
Type of cartridge: There are two main types of cartridges used in waterless urinals: liquid sealant and microbial. Liquid sealant cartridges are the most common type, and they are easy to install and maintain. Microbial cartridges use bacteria to break down urine, and they can require more frequent maintenance.
(NOTE: Liquid sealant is the type of cartridge used in urinals by Waterless Co., Inc).
Material: Waterless urinals can be made from a variety of materials, including ceramic, stainless steel, and fiberglass. Ceramic urinals are the most common type, and they are durable and easy to clean. Stainless steel urinals are more expensive than ceramic urinals, but they are more resistant to vandalism. Fiberglass urinals are the least expensive type but may be less durable than ceramic or stainless-steel urinals.
Color: Waterless urinals can be made in a variety of colors, including white, black, and silver. The color of the urinal may be influenced by the décor of the restroom or by the users' preferences.
Price: Waterless urinals can range in price from $200 to $1,000. The cost of the urinal will vary depending on the cartridge type, material, color, and features.
If you are considering installing waterless urinals in your facility, it is essential to do your research and choose the right type of urinal for your needs.
That’s all folks! (NOTE: Oh, we added this)
