Frequently Asked Questions

How much water will I save?
Back to Top

The average urinal waste 151,000 litres of fresh water a year. Water savings depend on the water control system in the washroom. Many washrooms have no flush control and as a result the urinals flush every few minutes. Other washrooms have a control fitted depending upon how many people use the urinal. The header tanks in most urinals hold between 11 and 20 litres, so conservative estimate would be 10 litres per flush. If each person were to use the urinal 4 times per day, water usage would be 40 litres per person per day. If 10 people use the urinal for 365 days per year, estimated fresh water usage quickly increases to 146,000 litres per year. Some general conservative estimates:

School (500 male students): 2,850,000 Litres p.a. saving
Small Hotel (45 patrons): 982,800 Litres p.a. saving
Office Building (100 Male Staff): 880,000 Litres p.a. saving

What does the solution cost?
Back to Top

There is no capital outlay, conversion or retrofit cost. Simply add H2No to your existing urinal and turn off the water at the urinal tap!

A rough average cost for the replacement H2No and Multipurpose Cleaner is between £8 and £12 per month per urinal bay.

Savings in water supply charges and discharge fees alone readily offsets the costs of using the H2No Solution. Additional savings can be expected from reduced maintenance costs for deep cleaning drains, and from the elimination of automatic sanitisers.

H2No sits in the bottom of the urinal, so what keeps the face/wall of the urinal clean?
Back to Top

The face of the urinal does not normally cause any problems. Bacteria find it difficult to exist on the urinal face because it's exposed to direct light and it normally dries soon after use. However the entire urinal is cleaned daily with H2No biodegradable Multipurpose Cleaner as part of the Daily Maintenance (see menu bar), which contains proteins to activate the H2No microbes and surfactants and mild detergents for effective cleaning. Our Multipurpose Cleaner can also be used on the floor tiles and any other surfaces that require effective cleaning.

How will visitors know they don't have to flush?

At each urinal bay, a small information sticker informs visitors that this urinal is environmentally friendly and does not require flushing water. The sticker demonstrates that your organisation or business is concerned about protecting the environment.

How does the H2No solution improve hygiene?
Back to Top

Waterless urinals are designed to dry out between uses, unlike the surfaces of wet urinals, which are constantly damp. Bacteria and viruses thrive in moisture but simply perish when dried.

When you convert to the H2No Waterless Urinal Solution, your urinal becomes touch-free, reducing the transfer of pathogens to hands. The conventional flushing mechanisms in wet urinals are a dangerous point of cross-contamination because they require direct hand contact from each user.

What is the shelf life of H2No?
Back to Top

H2No will last for two years when the storage container is sealed and stored between uses in a cool, dry area away from direct light.

Is the solution safe for septic tanks?
Back to Top

Yes. The H2No Solution is ideal for septic systems because it adds beneficial microbes. H2No allows septic tank users to reduce water consumption significantly and reduce wastewater by the same amount. The result is fewer blockages and reduced pumping - a saving all round.

Is the H2No waterless urinal solution difficult to maintain?
Back to Top

No. Many of our referrals come from cleaning contractors who have recommended our solution after using it successfully for other clients. Contractors tell us that the solution significantly improves overall hygiene conditions in the washroom and makes cleaning faster.
