Frequently Asked Questions

A waterless urinal is a plumbing fixture that drains urine without using water. It uses special odor traps or membranes to prevent odors.

Waterless urinals use different systems to create a barrier between ambient air and sewer gases. There are generally two approaches: a liquid seal (sealant liquid) or a membrane that drains urine while blocking odors.

There are models with sealant liquids as well as membrane systems, all of which operate completely without water.

The urine flows directly through the membrane into the drain.

Waterless urinals save significant amounts of water, reduce operating costs, and minimize environmental impact through lower water consumption and less wastewater.

Depending on usage intensity, waterless urinals can save up to 150,000 liters of water per year.

Yes, they not only save water but also reduce the energy required for water treatment.

Yes, since no flushing mechanisms are used, they are completely silent.

No water requirement and no flushing mechanisms make them more efficient and lower maintenance.

Yes, they are hygienic because they have no standing water where bacteria could grow.

Systems with membrane technology require no special cleaning method. For systems with a liquid seal, care should be taken with the cleaning method so as not to affect the sealant liquid.

The odor barrier, often in the form of a sealant liquid or membrane, reliably blocks rising odors from the drain.

Depending on frequency of use, the service life is between 6 and 12 months.

Rarely with proper maintenance. With MaproWorld urinals, clogging is excluded by design.

Yes, retrofitting is usually straightforward and only requires minor adjustments to the drain.

Costs vary depending on the model but are significantly lower than the cost of installing a conventional urinal, since flushing mechanisms are not required.

Only minor costs arise for replacing the odor traps. These are, in any case, cheaper than water.

Ideal for schools, airports, or stadiums. The higher the usage frequency, the greater the effectiveness.
