Aridian’s waterless technology offers an array of significant benefits, including:
Water saving
On average, each Aridian urinal helps to save 150,000 litres of water a year: a massive saving of an increasingly scarce and expensive resource.
Ease of installation
Aridian is quicker, easier and cheaper to install than conventional urinals, needing no cistern, flush pipes or bottle trap.
Lower maintenance
The absence of mechanical components such as cisterns, flushpipes and sensors mean that Aridian needs less maintenance than conventional flushing units.
Under average use conditions Aridian’s cartridge only needs replacing four times per year.
There is also no need to close down washrooms to eliminate salt build up in pipe work and there is no danger of flooding issues or water pressure drop during large useage.
Reduced odour
Tests carried out at The University of California in Los Angeles concluded that the Aridian waterfree urinal reduced unpleasant odours and had lower levels of bacteria than a flush urinal.
How it works
Like many great ideas, Aridian is based around simplicity. Installed in minutes and lasting years, it requires only minimal maintenance. But how does it actually work?
Urine which is 96% water, flows down the surface of the urinal and into the unique Sealtrap cartridge. The cartridge is filled with a special liquid called Allseal, which is not only perfumed, but prevents foul air from rising up from the drain and into the washroom. It does this by floating on the surface inside the cartridge and trapping an particles at the cartridge base.
Maintenance made easy
Aridian’s essential simplicity, with no mechanical components, make it much easier to maintain than conventional flushing urinals.
Regular cleaning of Aridian consists of spraying on cleaner, wiping it off, and that’s it. No water is needed for every-day cleaning.
Replacing cartridges, a simple job, only has to be carried out every three months under average use conditions. Full cleaning and maintenance instructions are included with all Aridian units.
