by Rebecca Walker — October 28, 2009—The City of Los Angeles has approved the H2Zero waterless urinal by Caroma for use in all buildings. The H2Zero urinal utilizes breakthrough technology to use zero water for optimum performance and water conservation.
The vitreous china urinal addresses key challenges that have been associated with other waterless urinals, including performance, operation, odor management, durability, and waste build-up, ensuring a consistently superior product, according to the company.
The H2Zero’s patented cartridge technology does not use an oil-based seal, as traditionally used in waterless urinals. Within the cartridge is a Bio Fresh deodorizing block that is activated during use. The Bio Seal allows urine to pass through the seal freely, eliminating unnecessary waste build-up within the cartridge. The Bio Seal, which lasts up to 10,000 uses, also acts as a one-way airtight valve to seal the cartridge from the drainage system.
