Waterless AirFlush urinals

The UK gets through 14 billion litres of water everyday. It is estimated that more than 3 billion litres of that is wasted through leaks. On average, 30% of domestic water use is for flush toilets and, nationally, including water used for toilets in work places, about 2 billion litres is flushed down toilets every day.

All of NatSol’s products are waterless in that they do not use water for flushing.

It appears that 0.6 billion litres are used everyday in the UK for flushing urinals and yet these can be operated without flushing. NatSol sells what is probably the best system for waterless urinals – the AirFlushTM. Years ago the Building Research Establishment discovered that simply turning off the flush to urinals reduces odour because flushing generates an aerosol and makes the smelly components of urine become airborne.

NatSol’s urinals go much further than that by drawing air down the urinal pipework and expelling this through a vent, usually at roof level. No scented blocks, oil filled traps or consumables are needed – as typically used on other waterless urinal systems. In many cases it is possible to convert existing urinals to AirFlushTM without the need to install new urinal bowls. The AirFlushTM components have a long life expectancy thereby reducing maintenance costs, and they use very little energy. Go to: AirFlushTM to find out more.
