FALCON - Top of mind choice for waterfree urinals
Founded in 2000, US based company Falcon Waterfree Technologies Ltd has already installed over 400,000 urinals around the world. Some remarkably high-profile venues include the Rose Bowl, London's Heathrow Airport and India's Taj Mahal and its presence has even extended to some well-known facilities in China like Beijing International Capital Airport, Walmart and Siemens Headquarters Building. Falcon Waterfree urinals greatly reduce water and sewer costs, maintenance and repair bills because it does not require any water at all to flush like conventional urinals do but can still do an amazing job at disposing urine effectively and hygienically. A replaceable, proprietary sealed cartridge and liquid barrier is required for this advanced system and this has the powerful function to separate and store sediments every time urine enters the cartridge, whilst also preventing odor from escaping. The end result is the drainage pipes will be clean and free of crystallization and there will be no more stuck or broken valves to repair. Of course, the benefits do not end here. An average of 150,000 liters of fresh water can be conserved annually from each installation of Falcon waterfree urinals and users can gain 5 LEED points for its efficient water use. Also, the set up of flush valves and associated piping is no longer required, so one can save even more on installation, maintenance and vandalism-related expenses. Falcon waterfree urinals are popular with all kinds of facilities. Hong Kong International Airport, Hard Rock Caf¨¦ (City of Dreams, Macau) and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University have recently installed these urinals and are finding it an impressive yet cost effective way to achieve their water conservation goals.
Water is no longer a fixture in some cutting-edge urinals Men's restrooms are quietly undergoing a plumbing revolution that some say could make them a lot cleaner and healthier. Scientists who studied the technology say it drastically cuts down on germs in the restroom because there is less water in which bacteria can grow. The potential benefits are huge, they added, because so many diseases have been linked to public restrooms, including hepatitis outbreaks. With millions of urinals in the world, proponents of the no-water technology proves the new toilets could save billions of gallons of fresh water annually, help ease shortages in arid places and cut down on utility bills at the same time. As much as 45,000 gallons gets flushed away annually in a traditional urinal.
