We asked Perplexity (AI) What’s the Coolest Thing About Waterless Urinals?

Here’s what it said:

The coolest thing about waterless urinals is their ability to save massive amounts of water while still effectively controlling odors and maintaining high hygiene standards in restrooms.

A single waterless urinal can save up to 35,000 gallons of water per year depending on usage, translating to significant water reduction efforts, not just saving money but also crucial natural resources.

Beyond just water savings, their ingenious design eliminates the need for flush valves, water supply lines, and associated plumbing—meaning:

No splatter and lower risk of airborne bacteria or viruses, which makes restrooms safer and more sanitary.
No moving parts means far less maintenance and virtually zero risk of leaks or clogs commonly found in traditional urinals. This reduction in components makes them simpler and more reliable to maintain.
Odor control is handled by a specialized liquid trap (like the EcoTrap® system), which uses a sealant to block sewer odors without needing water, ensuring the bathroom stays fresh.

In summary, what makes waterless urinals genuinely cool is their clever engineering that delivers impressive water efficiency, operational simplicity, and a cleaner restroom environment while sharply reducing both environmental impact and maintenance headaches.
