Waterless Urinal Products & Consumables

Waterless Urinal Cartridges

Waterless Urinal Cartridges

As well as reducing energy and water consumption, one of the unique features of this urinal is our efficient waterless urinal cartridge which eliminates unpleasant odours by reducing blockages and scale, sludge and uric acid build ups. The result of 15 years’ of research, field trials and continuous product development, these cartridges are purposefully engineered to fit a range of different urinal systems and they can also be used in reduced-flushes devices, as well as waterless.
The ground breaking cartridge uses integrated biological technology to achieve maximum results. By improving airflow within the urinal, the cartridge allows the urinal to self-ventilate, and the purpose-made mesh catches any harmful debris and stops foreign materials from blocking up the drains or entering the plumbing system. Meanwhile, the expertly engineered biological block contains ‘friendly’ microbes that combat harmful bacteria and prevent unpalatable smells from entering the washroom. These microbes also create a bio film and make damaging elements like scale, sludge and uric acid more soluble. Classified as
‘non-hazardous’ under COSHH Risk Assessments, each component is able to work successfully without harming the surrounding eco-system. Hygienic, cost-effective and eco-friendly, our water saving urinal cartridges are a vital part of any smart washroom system.
Waterless Urinal Adaptors

Waterless Urinal Adaptors

A number of Waterless Urinals and Reduced Flushing Systems do not functionally overcome common urinal problems such as odours, blockages and general poor hygiene. This being due to the technology utilized, the way in which they were installed and the maintenance practices adopted thereafter. For those who have made the strategic decision to go waterless and are not satisfied with the results, we have developed a range of adapters to retro-fit functionally inferior systems. Therefore, avoiding the costly need to revert back to water flushing or change the fabric of the washroom. All Waterless Urinal Adaptors are tried and tested and conform to relevant codes.

Frequently Asked Questions?

Are waterless urinals effective?
A waterless urinal is an effective replacement to a traditional flush system which saves water and energy, and enhances profitability at the same time. The water saving urinal also improves user experience by eliminating bad urinal odours, improves hygiene and reduces the frequency of urinal blockages and flooding. And because VERTECO’s waterless urinal systems are all retro fit, there is no need to change existing urinal fixtures meaning no plumbing costs and clients can achieve immediate, significant savings.
Do waterless urinals smell?
Waterless urinals not only reduce energy and water consumption, but they also address the issue of bad odours. Using an efficient cartridge, unpleasant odours are eliminated by reduced build-up of lime scale, sludge and uric acid. The cartridge improves airflow so the urinal can self-ventilate, and its built-in mesh catches harmful waste to prevent blockages in the drain or plumbing system. At the same time, the system’s biological block – full of ‘friendly’ microbes – ensure harmful bacteria is destroyed and unpleasant smells are unable to linger. These clever microbes also form a bio film which makes potentially damaging by-products easier to breakdown.
How does a waterless urinal work?
A traditional, flush urinal has a strainer which catches debris when water goes down the bowl. The trapped debris can cause odours above and below the bowl and as limescale builds up, acts as a breeding ground for bad bacteria and is a major cause of blockages and overspill. Waterless urinals such as VERTECO’s retrofit system, eliminates all of the issues associated with a traditional flush urinal. Through the use of their patented seal and cartridge, they offer a hygienic and cost-effective system. The cartridge allows the urinal to self-ventilate and its in-built bmesh stops and harmful material from blocking the system. The seal, full of friendly bacteria, prevents harmful bacteria and bad smells from developing, and helps to breakdown harmful things like lime scale and uric acid.
Do waterless urinals need a trap?
In traditional urinals, urine sits within a ‘trap’ until it is flushed away with water. This can lead to a build-up of things like lime scale and sludge and causes bad smells to hang around. Waterless urinals eliminate the need to flush with water. In waterless urinals, the unique cartridge and seal act as the trap. The cartridge allows urine to flow into the bowl without the need for a flush and allows the urinal to self-ventilate ensuring improved air flow and reduced smells. The cartridge features a mesh which stops harmful materials from blocking the system. This seal is full of friendly microbes which stop harmful bacteria forming and prevents bad smells from developing.
Do urinals save water?
Companies around the world need to address water waste to achieve their sustainability targets, and of course help preserve this precious resource. As much as 42% of all water consumption in many commercial buildings is flushed through urinals. Waterless urinals eliminate the need to use water for flushing. An innovative cartridge and seal systems replaces the traditional flush system – reducing water use to zero. Compared to flush urinals, VERTECO’s waterless urinal saves up to 157,000 litres of water per year, per urinal. Since its invention, it is estimated that globally, VERTECO’s water free urinal technology has saved an estimated 750 million cubic metres of water, AED 9 billion and 14.7 million kilos of carbon.
How much water does a urinal use per day?
Traditional flush urinals use a lot of water. They are often preset to flush regardless of use, to prevent odours or blockages developing, and wasting lots of water in the process. An average flush of a urinal, several times an hour, could use hundreds of thousands of litres of water per year. In commercial buildings, as much as 42% of all water consumption is via urinal flushes. Waterless urinals don’t flush, reducing water use to zero. It is estimated that they save on average 157,000 litres of water per year, per urinal. With proven operational, commercial, and environmental savings, waterless urinals cost nothing, but make significant savings from day one.
What is a water free urinal?
A water free urinal is a waterless alternative to the traditional flush system urinal. Not only does a water free urinal save water, it also saves energy, reduces the need for harmful cleaning products, and eliminates the bad odours associated with traditional systems. Water free urinals like VERTECO’s feature a groundbreaking cartridge, which eliminates the need for water completely. A cartridge allows air to flow, prevent bad smells, and features a mesh which stops blockages and overspills from happening. The waterless urinal also has a unique biological block, containing microbes which stop bad bacteria and improve overall hygiene.
