The AIRFLUSH® Waterless Urinal System is designed for robust odour-free operation without
the need for special chemicals or other consumables.
The AIRFLUSH® urinal system is ideally
suited to sites with multiple urinal bowls and very heavy usage.
Another system is available for single bowl
installations or where usage is light. Contact Green Building Store for details.
The AIRFLUSH®
waterless urinal system has been developed to solve the many problems associated with conventional flush urinals but
without the need for expensive and environmentally questionable consumables.

How it works
The
AIRFLUSH® system owes its successful operation to four main details:
- Urinal bowl design
The Ifö urinal bowls are hygienically designed to minimise splash back and direct any drips to the floor rather than the pipe-work or wall where it is difficult to clean. The outlet is an integral factory installed spigot, which eliminates leaks.
- No individual traps
Individual traps are a maintenance headache and invariably leak once dismantled for unblocking. The Airflush system eliminates individual traps and uses a single easily cleaned trap at the drain end.
- Negative pressure system
Without individual traps convection currents could cause odour problems but the Airflush system uses a low wattage, long life DC fan to maintain a gentle flow of air down the urinal bowls. The fan power consumption is similar to that of mains powered urinal controllers, i.e. about 3W.
- Waste pipes
Wastes are specified at 50mm minimum and installed at 1:18 minimum fall to prevent scale build up. |
