Why Waterless Urinals Are a Smart Choice for College Campuses

A publication focused on college and university operations recently asked us about the key benefits of installing waterless urinals on campuses. Here's a look at what makes them a valuable addition:

 Key Advantages of Waterless Urinals:  

>Significant Water Savings: Waterless urinals eliminate the need for flush water, leading to substantial reductions in water consumption. This not only lowers utility costs for the institution but also supports environmental sustainability efforts.

 

>Reduced Maintenance: Without flush valves, sensors, or water supply lines, waterless urinals often require less maintenance than traditional models. This can free up facilities staff for other tasks and reduce repair costs.

 

>Improved Hygiene and Odor Control: Properly maintained waterless urinals can actually offer better hygiene. They don't create the aerosolized plumes of contaminated water associated with flushing, and specialized trap designs prevent odors from escaping.

 

>Cost-Effective in the Long Run: While the initial installation cost might be comparable to traditional urinals, the long-term savings from reduced water bills and lower maintenance can make waterless urinals a more economically sound choice over their lifespan.

 

>Enhanced Sustainability Image: Implementing waterless urinals demonstrates a commitment to environmentally responsible practices, which can be a positive factor for prospective students and faculty who value sustainability.
