Waterless Urinal Products & Consumables
Waterless Urinal Cartridges
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.
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
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.
Cleaning & Dosing
We manufacture a number of bespoke Biological Solutions for plumbing and drainage applications and are considered a leader in this specialist field.
Our Cleaning & Dosing solutions are readily available directly through VERTECO as a serviced solution, or via selected distribution channels and OEM partners
Installation Packs
A number of installation pack variants are readily available through selected channel partners, distributors, OEMs, and direct. VERTECO also provides all pack variants as a turnkey installation solution.
Frequently Asked Questions?
Are waterless urinals effective?
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?
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?
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 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?
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?
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?
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.
