If you have recently been to the movies or a posh restaurant like the Red Lobster you would definitely have noticed the waterless urinals installed in their bathrooms. They are pretty much everywhere and you start noticing them. What might come as a surprise to you is that the proper technical names for these non-flushing urinal units are chemical toilets.While initially developed to help provide necessary facilities to areas where septic tanks were not readily present, or where the water supply was severely limited, these chemical toilets are now being pushed as a part of a major water saving drive across the nation.One of the most popular models of chemical toilets that exist on the market today utilize a specialized mechanism that separates the chemical component of human waste from the chemical mix and recirculates the filtered water back to the toilet unit.The chemical toilet however, is not that dissimilar from a standard toilet. It still has an outlet below its base which holds the chemical mixture, and also helps in absorbing and breaking down the human waste. They also allow the odors to be masked. These type of toilets are common in rest rooms and bathrooms all around the world.Although there are sometimes concerns about the maintenance requirements of such toilets, you can be sure that most of them require no more, and often much less maintenance than a standard toilet. The chemical filters need replacing at regular intervals, and the toilet itself still needs to be kept clean. All in all, the cleaning and maintenance requirements should be less than for a standard toilet unit.If you are a business owner or project manager who is overseeing the installation of new bathroom facilities, take a look at the waterless urinals and other non-flushing toilet systems that are currently on the market. You will likely find that the initial purchase and ongoing costs are equal or possibly less than the installation of a traditional toilet system.
