UK Schools Go With “Waterless” Toilets

by kswanson56 on January 11, 2007

24Dash.com reports on a “new” technology that is turning urinals in UK schools into “waterless” urinals:

Eco-cube is a proven system that uses microbial technology converting standard washroom urinals or troughs into water-less urinals. The unique system uses naturally occurring microbes and does not require any regular flushing water to convert any washroom into a healthier and more hygienic environment.

This is said to save the schools “millions” of liters of water each “year.” What’s this “business” all about? Why am I putting so many words in “quotes?” God only knows….

Implementation of the eco-cube is immediate with no urinal modifications required other than to turn off the running water to the urinals. It works effectively as the friendly bacteria break down lime scale, uric scale and ammonic salts naturally ensuring there are no bad odours or scale build up that could cause future blockages or smells.
