Waterfree urinals, answered

No. The sealed Velocity cartridge lets liquid drain through while blocking odours from coming back up the drain. With no standing water there is far less for bacteria to breed in, so waterfree washrooms typically smell fresher than conventional ones.

Falcon Waterfree urinals use no water at all — they save 100% of the water a flushing urinal would use. That is typically 100,000 litres or more of fresh water per urinal, every year.

It is the heart and soul of the Falcon Waterfree urinal — a sealed cartridge with patent-pending features that lets liquid pass through while keeping odours and bacteria out.

Very little. The only routine task is changing the Velocity cartridge around three to four times a year. There is no flushometer to service, and the drain lines avoid the calcification that blocks conventional urinals.

Yes. The Falcon High Performance Key-Valve (HPKV) is a syphon technology that seals the drain without water, so existing urinals can be retrofitted to run waterfree.

The Arumloo uses a vortex shape inspired by the Nautilus shell — the path of least resistance. It clears waste cleanly on far less water than a standard toilet, without needing a double flush.
