INDEX Awards: The Water Saving Urinal
Just think of how much water is being wasted just to flush a urinal. You’re getting rid of what is basically water anyway, why use billions of litres of water a year to do it?
This ingenious design, the H2Zero, uses a special cartridge that is less-dense than urine. It thus allows the waste to pass through it, thus getting rid of it and any smell. The most important thing? It uses absolutely no water to do so. This has the potential to save billions of litres of water from being wasted, although it would need a retrofit of the world’s men’s rooms.
Now if we could only get the water-less toilet perfected and in every washroom we’d be set.
The H2Zero™ has the potential to save billions of litres of fresh water in the Australian and global environments. The vitreous china urinal incorporates unique cartridge technology that operates with zero water for optimum performance and water conservation, thus improving life anywhere it is used.
