The world’s population is growing every day. This means that we need to be responsible stewards of the earth, so that the next generation can have a clean, healthy planet to live on, along with plenty of natural resources. One of the most important aspects of this task is making certain that there is enough water. Water is essential to life, and unfortunately, there have been several droughts recently which have diminished the supply in the world. The good news is that there are several ways in which anyone can save water and avoid wasting it. One of the easiest and most convenient ways is to use a water free urinal.
Is A Water Free Urinal Smelly?
As a matter of fact, a water free urinal is much less susceptible to odors than are standard urinals. Since the sides of the bowl are so slick and steep, every drop of urine always goes quickly down the drain. In fact, in the case of standard urinals, it is all the water that the urine gets diluted with during flushing that causes bad smells. The liquid that lingers behind is a breeding spot for bacteria. Since the sides of a water free urinal are so slick, it is impossible for bacteria to take hold. Everything that goes down the drain is trapped under a layer of drain liquid, which holds in odors and gasses.
Taking Care Of Water Free Urinals
Water free urinals are actually much easier to clean than standard urinals. They only require a brief clean up every once in a while. Wipe the bowl down with a soft cloth, then dry it thoroughly. In addition, since no water is involved, you don’t have to worry about lime building up in the pipes.
