uridan waterless solutions
FAQ: Frequently asked questions
Without a flush? It must stink, right?
No, it doesn't stink with uridan urinals!
The heart of the uridan urinal is the patented uridan odor trap: it works with uriLOCK, a special barrier fluid that is biodegradable. As it is lighter than urine, the heavy urine automatically flows directly into the sewage system. The lighter uriLOCK remains on the surface and acts like a liquid lid that keeps 100% of all odors out of the sewer system.
How do I keep a uridan urinal clean?
Cleaning uridan urinals is very quick and can be carried out in 2 simple steps, as uridan urinals have no rim (behind which dirt could collect) and no protruding bolt or screw heads. For daily cleaning, we recommend our special cleaning and care product uriCLEAN. Simply spray onto the inside and outside of the urinal every day and polish with the uriCLOTH microfiber cloth.
Is the uridan® urinal not more unhygienic than a water-flushed urinal?
On the contrary! Urine is sterile. Bacteria can only develop in combination with water. Investigations by recognised institutes have shown that the bacterial contamination of waterless urinals is much lower than that of water-flushed urinals.
What to do if someone has thrown up in the urinal?
First remove the remains of the vomit on the surface. Remove the lid of the urinal using the uridan suction cup and flush the vomit down the drain with plenty of water. For heavy soiling, we recommend the use of our specially developed deep cleaner uriSTRONG (please refer to our cleaning instructions for details). Fill the siphon with plenty of water and replace the lid. Now empty 0.3 l of uriLOCK through the lid and your urinal is ready for use again.
How is the blocking fluid refilled?
Refilling the uriLOCK® barrier fluid is very easy and takes place in a single step. Simply empty a 0.3 L bottle of uriLOCK® over the lid and your urinal is immediately ready for use again. This is quick, odourless and, above all, touch-free. If the urinal is very dirty, we recommend deep cleaning the siphon with our specially developed deep cleaner uriSTRONG® before refilling the blocking fluid (for details, please refer to our cleaning instructions).
How often does the uriLOCK sealing liquid need to be refilled?
The uriLOCK barrier fluid needs to be refilled after around 3 months or 15,000 uses, as the urine in the siphon begins to thicken during this time. Which is completely normal! You will notice when this happens when the urine no longer drains well. Open the lid and check whether there is still enough colored uriLOCK in the urinal. If there is not enough sealing liquid, empty 0.3 l of uriLOCK through the lid.
When using the HighTech lid, the LED light signals that the liquid is being refilled (activation with the supplied magnetic pen). Green - filling level is OK. Red - fill level is at minimum, please refill barrier fluid (for details, please refer to the instructions for use under Downloads).
Always use uriLOCK, only then is the function guaranteed.
