Introduction
Waterless urinals function without the use of water. They are not a recent invention, in fact have been around since 1991. Waterless or no-flush urinals were first developed and manufactured in the United States by Waterless Co. Inc [1] With growing interest in such technologies, many companies have begun to manufacture and modify the designs of waterless urinals improving ease of maintenance and odor control. Some problems have arise from this new technology including complaints by consumers of the cost of required frequent replacement of the units trap/cartridges.[2] However,there are low cost replacements at $7.00 and odors are easily controled by better sealing liquids; many consumers have reported overall reduction in water use and cost as a result from switching to waterless urinals. With rising water and sewer costs all over the world this is a technology that will stay around.
