The Aridian Waterless Urinal from Armitage Shanks is a wall mounted urinal in vitreous china for exposed or concealed plumbing that requires no cistern or flush Pipes. This is the most popular waterless urinal bowl for commercial and public sector sites.

 

How it works

Urine, which is 96% water, flows down the surface of the urinal and into the unique Falcon cartridge. The cartridge is filled with a special liquid called Allseal, which is not only perfumed, but prevents foul air from rising up from the drain and into the washroom. It does this by floating on the surface inside the cartridge and trapping any particles at the cartridge base. Note that the effectiveness of the Allseal sealant can be impaired by sluicing or by incompatible cleaning chemicals, if proper care is not take,  However, there are no mechanical components to go wrong. Regular cleaning consists of spraying on cleaner and wiping it off. Replacing cartridges, a simple job,  has to be carried out every three to four months under average use conditions, but can last from 2 to 12 months, dependent on usage. Full cleaning and maintenance instructions are included with all Aridian bowls.

 

How to avoid blockages in waste pipes

Whilst the waste pipes of waterless urinals block less frequently than for most flushed urinals, uric acid salts can still form a sludge which eventually cause a blockage. Sludge can be a particular problem if the waste pipes are shared with sinks or are poorly configured.  Gentworks recommends periodic dosing/sluicing with Bactericidal Cleaner to break down this sludge and carry it away into the main drain. For Aridian bowls fitted with the Falcon cartridge, sluicing must only be done once the cartridge has been removed at time of cartridge change, otherwise the fluid sealant will be washed away. The solution used should be approximately 1 part Bactericidal Cleaner to 9 parts warm water from the washroom hot tap. Sluicing volume should be approximately 3 litres.
