Lilydome – Waterless Urinal Waste Systems by PlanetSaver.
PlanetSaver's Lilydome is a highly effective urinal waste system that uses zero water.
Not only does the Lilydome waterless urinal waste system help conserve huge amounts of precious water, it also saves money, reduces maintenance time and cost, provides better hygiene and is far less odorous than conventional urinals.
The Lilydome can be fitted to nearly any existing urinal. The result is that just one Lilydome equipped urinal saves an average of between 130 000 and 200 000 litres of water per year.
What PlanetSaver has managed to achieve with the Lilydome is not only a giant leap forward from conventional flushing urinals, it is arguably the most refined product of its kind on the market today.
Hotels, schools, arenas, theatres, restaurants, office buildings, shopping centres.... facilities of all kinds can benefit from Lilydome waterless systems - reducing their impact on the environment by saving water as well as cutting costs.
A building with just 25 Lilydome waterless urinal waste systems installed will save over 3 million litres of water per year, more than enough to fill an Olympic size swimming pool.
Replacing Water with Technology – is it really possible?
New technology is often faced with some scepticism. In the case of new technology surrounding urinals, it often goes beyond scepticism to a "stick to what you know" stance.
This is completely understandable. There are clearly going to be misconceptions surrounding a urinal that does not flush. Here are some common questions answered about Lilydome waterless urinal waste systems:
By not flushing regularly, aren't the bowls themselves less hygienic?
The reality is that no water means no breeding ground for bacteria.
Limescale in flush-water deposits an absorbent layer within which odour-causing bacteria can develop. Lilydome equipped urinals, by contrast, have no such layer.
Additionally, urinals with Lilydome waterless waste systems fitted are touch-free, so there's little chance of bacteria transfer.
Don't you need water to "wash" the urine away and prevent odours?
In fact, the chemical reaction caused when water is mixed with urine is what causes those unpleasant odours.
Plus, the surface of a urinal bowl and the Lilydome waterless waste system are urine-repellent, leaving gravity to effectively drain it away through a specially formulated airtight valve that traps odours.
This system is estimated to be 500 times more effective than conventional P-traps.
A urinal with a Lilydome waterless urinal waste system requires no more cleaning than a conventional system.
