FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Doesn’t it smell without flushing?
No! uridan® urinals do not smell!
The centrepiece of the uridan® urinals is the patented uridan® odour trap: This odour trap works with the aid of uriLOCK®, a special blocking fluid, that is biodegradable. Due to the fact that it is lighter than urine, the heavier urine automatically flows directly down the drain. The lighter uriLOCK® stays on the surface and works like a liquid lid that blocks out all drain and sewage odours.
How to clean the uridan® urinal?
The cleaning process is quite simple and done in 2 steps, because of the smooth and plane surface no edges or rims where deposits could adhere. There are no visible fixing parts. For daily cleaning we highly recommend our special developed fluid uriCLEAN. Spray uriCLEAN on the inner and outer surface of the urinal and polish it with the uriCLOTH micro fibre cloth.
Isn‘t the uridan® urinal less hygienic than water flushed ones?
Exactly the opposite is fact! Urine itself is a sterile liquid in the human body. Starting to react just in contact with water where bacteria are able to grow. Several independent tests from recognized laboratories have shown that the number of bacterial contamination of water flushed urinals is tremendous against waterless urinals.
What to do if someone vomits into the urinal?
First remove the remains from the vomit on the surface. Remove the cover of the urinal using the uridan® suction device and rinse the vomit with plenty of water into the sewer. In case of heavy soiling, we recommend using our specially developed uriSTRONG® deep cleaner (Please read the cleaning instructions for details). Fill the waste trap with plenty of water and insert the cover. Now pour 0,3 l uriLOCK® over the cover and your urinal is ready for use again.
How to refill the blocking fluid?
How frequently the refilling of the blocking fluid urilock have to be done?
The refilling of the uriLOCK blocking fluid should be made after 3 months or approx. 15.000 usages. A change is necessary due to muddy residues on bottom of the water trap. This is visible when urine runs slower. Open the cover and see if there is still enough uriLOCK in the urinal. If there is not enough blocking fluid, pour 0,3l uriLOCK over the cover.
When using the high-tech lid, the LED light signals that the liquid has been emptied (activation with the supplied magnetic stick). Green – Level is OK. Red – level is at the minimum, please refill barrier fluid (for details, please refer to the instructions for use under Downloads).
Always use uriLOCK, only then is the function guaranteed.
