No-FlushTM urinals resemble conventional fixtures, and easily replace them. They install to the regular waste lines, but eliminate the flush water supply lines. Flush valves are eliminated as well; there are no handles to touch, no sensors, no moving parts! The urinal bowl surfaces are urine repellent; urine is 99% liquid and its drainage is effected without flush water. Daily cleaning procedures are the same as for flushed urinals. The conventional water-filled urinal's trap drain is replaced by a disposable EcoTrap® inserted in the urinal outlet. It holds a layer of the immiscible BlueSeal® liquid floating on top of a urine layer. This combination trap seal blocks out sewer gases, and the covering BlueSeal® layer blocks out urine odors from the room. A 3-oz. dose of BlueSeal® lasts over 1500 uses, replacing at least 1500 or up to 4500 gallons of potable quality flush water!! BlueSeal® is biodegradable and the EcoTrap® is recyclable. A recent article written by the Energy and Engineering Department of the Secretary of Defense stated, "After a balanced consideration the Waterless urinal seems to be a water conservation fixture who's time has come. It clearly reduces maintenance costs, and may do so dramatically and immediately for some installations. For about the price of a flush urinal, you can automatically save 1.5 - 3 gallons of water per usage, depending on the model of flush urinal you're replacing." "In any new construction, or whenever you plan to replace a flush urinal, Waterless urinals should be given serious consideration."
