From a recent industry census, there are over 3.0 million urinals in service the UK and those urinals each use an average of 100,000 litres of water every year; converting your flushing urinals to the P.pod waterless urinal system from WST and you be partly responsible saving a proportion of the 300 billion litres of drinking water wasted each year by unnecessary urinal flushing.

If reducing overall expenditure is an important goal for you, making an accurate assessment of the feasible water savings is required to predict the net monetary savings in your business case to employ the P.pod waterless urinal system from WST.

P.pod Cost Benefit Analysis

- Key the information required into the box on the right regarding the number of urinals, cistern capacities; flushing frequency etc.

- Once completed, click the submit button and WST will provide you with the cost benefit analysis directly to your email Inbox.

The cost benefit analysis will provide you with;

WST Technical Bulletin

Flush controllers are fitted in many washrooms however in our experience, approximately 40% of flush controllers installed, are not setup correctly or have been deactivated.

A black box on the wall does not necessarily indicate that your flushing is precisely being controlled.

If a flush controller is working correctly, it will be save you water, however the principal downside is that maintenance costs will be higher because blockages are more common.

A urinal that flushes every 5 minutes is unlikely to block, however long periods between flushes allows lime scale, uric acid salts and debris to combine and coat the internal linings of the waste pipes.

Achieving a balance between water usage and maintenance expenditure is significant.

Unless waterless or low flushing systems are employed within your building, the urinals should be flushed within 20 minutes of use and every 12 hours when not in use.
