Comparative Analysis - Waterless Urinal Systems vs Flushed Wall Urinal
Water consumption - Going waterless vs flushed male urinals
Across all Australian states, any water consumption during a year which is over
1kL (or 1,000 litres) a day is charged between $1 - $1.50 per kL , charge from
state to state varies. As water usage increases, so does the charge per
kilolitre.
If
one male urinal is averaging 100 flushes a day, the consumption of that
ONE
urinal per day is about 380 litres, or 138,700 litres a year and water cost
would average around $185 per year. More flushes per urinal means higher water
consumption and water cost.
Aside from the water consumption, water companies also charge establishments
sewer usage costs. The more wastewater a commercial establishment disposes, the
higher the bill. The price per 1kL of wastewater discharged normally exceeds $1.
Sydney Water calculates the sewer usage charge at $1.296 per Kilolitre of water
usage.

Calculation based on approximate of 100 uses per day per urinal
Important Note:
- The figure specified above is based on a conservative estimate of around
100 uses per day on a water-efficient wall-hung type urinal. Stainless steel
floor type urinals consume more water (up to 10 litres per flush) therefore
water usage is higher.
- In other commercial establishments (ie, pubs,
hotels, schools etc) , the average use of each urinal per day easily exceeds
500 uses per day, therefore in more heavy-traffic establishments, bigger savings
can be achieved in both water bills and water consumption by switching to Cleanviro.
Economic and
environment benefits
- The efficacy of one cleanviro tablet on average use would last between 3-6
weeks, depending on how heavy the usage is
- Equivalent to around 7,500 flushes or 50,000 litres of fresh water saved by
just one cleanviro tablet.
- On average use of 100 flushes a day, savings of more than $1,000 a year per
urinal and more than 450,000 litres of precious water is saved each year PER
URINAL
Be Clean. Be Green.
Cleanviro helps you help the
environment - and you achieve savings while doing so, it's a Win-Win solution.
