Find out the water saving solution to waterless urinals that are installed by Zerodor to reduce water, save on maintenance and provide odorless hygiene to many people in India.
The amount of clean water wasted every time one flushes a standard urinal is almost 2 to 4 liters. Take that multiplied by hundreds of uses per day, and you can see what a colossal waste in business toilets all over India is going on.
That is where the concept of the waterless urinals will come in and this is an innovation that is transforming the way we view sanitation and sustainability. At Zerodor we have come up with a no-flush urinal system, which is environmentally-friendly and saves on water, sewage, and odor without the application of even a drop of water.
Conventional urinals utilize continuous flushing to flush off wastes and smell. Nevertheless, the waterless urinals of Zerodor are different, they rely on the power of gravity and clever design, as well as bio-mechanical principles, in ensuring that the sanitation and smell are natural.
1. Smart Mechanical Design
The urinal traps of Zerodor are constructed in such a way that they stop backflow as well as odor emission of the drain lines.
The system has a valve in the form of a mechanical sealing valve which is easy to pass urine but it closes down as soon as it is used.
This does not allow gases and odors to escape - no chemical closing or expensive cartridges required.
2. Gravity Flow Technology
This system is dependent on the use of natural gravity to channel urine into the drain without flushing.
Electrical and mechanical parts are not needed.
The design will guarantee even in high traffic restrooms, the design offers **clog-free operation and long durability.
3. An operation that has no maintenance requirements, and is non-chemical
However, as opposed to imported models which work on sealant liquids or removable cartridges, Zerodor operates on a mechanical trap which implies:
No cost on refills or chemicals.
Cleaning with neutral PH cleaners.
Indian environmental conditions A sustainable solution constructed to Indian environmental conditions.
Zerodor Waterless Urinals have the following key advantages.

Simple Maintenance Tips
To maintain your waterless urinal in its highest condition:
Wipe off the urinal top using neutral pH cleaning agents.
Never use acidic or aggressive chemicals.
Flush with the help of enzyme-based cleaners (once a month) to avoid accumulation in the schedule.
Look inside the mechanical trap every now and then to check on the debris or residue.
Conclusion
This is not a mere innovation but a must-have urgent need as far as waterless urinals are concerned in the name of sustainable sanitation.
They conserve water, minimize the creation of sewage and enhance environment-friendly hygiene to the contemporary facilities by eliminating the aspect of flushing.
Under the patented mechanical design of Zerodor, organizations in India will be able to make long-term cost savings and environmental impact, without having to trade-off on cleanliness or comfort to the user.
