The
superior hygiene properties of the Waterless Urinal are
directly attributable to its unique design and non porous
gel coated surface which is highly resistant to water deposits,
urine accumulation and bacterial residue; and the fact
that the Waterless Urinal requires no water for flushing.
Urine in its natural form is sterile and only contains
bacteria when water is added. This defies the common belief
that the conventional water using urinals would be more
hygienic then Waterless Urinals. A recent study by an independent
German government agency, LGA (Landesgewerbeabstalt Bayern)
found that using Waterless Urinal system reduces bacteria
concentrations in the urinal bowel area dramatically when
compared to the conventional water using urinals.
More
specifically, LGA found bacteria concentrations levels
of between 114.42 to 360.54 KBE/100cm2 inside the conventional
water using urinal bowl areas, compared to .6 to 42.30
KBE/100m2 found inside the Waterless Urinal bowls indicating
63% to 99% reduction in bacteria concentrations. The report
also displayed the advantages of touch free operation.
As part of the process, LGA tested the flush handle and
found that the handle contained 275.00KBE/100m2. The table
below displays the results of the bacteria concentrations
analysis performed by LGA, the study displays the testing
of 2 conventional water using urinals, the flush valve
handle and 4 waterless urinals all tested under normal
conditions. |
