January 10, 2007—Facility managers may now take advantage of a free evaluation sheet to determine if waterless urinal systems will help them save money, along with water.
Developed by Waterless Co., makers of Waterless No-Flush urinals, the evaluation sheet asks facility managers a series of simple questions, such as: how many males populate the facility, the number of urinals in the facility, the hours of operation, and the amount of water per flush.
Most urinals use between one and three gallons of water, depending on whether they were manufactured before or after 1992, says Waterless. Studies also indicate that each male in a facility uses a urinal about three times per day.
“This evaluation sheet lets facility managers know approximately how much they are spending just to provide potable water for urinals,” says Klaus Reichardt, managing partner of Waterless Co.
Although some assumptions must be made, Reichardt says most facility managers find the evaluation sheet provides a workable picture of how much money conventional urinals are costing them. “In some facilities, they may find a waterless system will not save them enough money to warrant their installation,” he says, “but others may find that waterless systems will save them considerable sums annually.”
Waterless Co. offers a full line of Waterless No-Flush urinals, cleaning liquids and cost-saving accessories. For more information, or to receive a free copy of the evaluation sheet, visit the Web site.
