Why do urinals block?

Here’s why:

Water fed urinals are designed to flush every 10 minutes using 100,000 litres of water per annum, so in addition to the costs of the water, the lime-scale in the water mixes with urine to form hard scale which will block the pipes. Much worse will happen when the flushing is reduced and static urine is left in the water trap below the urinal and in the pipes. This static urine mixed with debris then solidifies and blocks the pipes. Worse still is that the blockage is a breeding ground for bacteria and gives off the pungent smell normally associated with men’s washrooms.

Here’s the evidence:

Already Saving Water

Many of our clients are already saving water by reducing flushing either by reducing the flow to the cistern or spending money on all sorts of devices which reduce the number of flushes in order to save water. However, those same clients complain that reducing the water flow may save them some money but it costs them more in plumber call outs to unblock the pipes.

Switching to the Free Flow Valve solves the problem and also saves you money and the environment by using no water and no chemicals to keep the urinals clean and fresh!
