Fittings, sanitary: Aridian

Armitage Shanks’ waterless urinal, Aridian, needs no water and has no flush. Instead, it uses a cartridge filled with a perfumed liquid which traps particles, preventing new odours and any foul air rising from the drain and into the washroom.

Tests have proven a significantly lower bacterial count on the surface of the bowl of a waterless urinal than in the flush variety. Water provides a breeding ground for bacteria, so without it the harbouring and growth of bacteria is prevented, thus making the waterless option much more hygienic.

On average, each Aridian urinal helps to save a massive 87,000 litres of water per year. With a huge amount of urinals installed in service stations, railway stations, airports, theatres, cinemas, hospitals and other public areas and workplaces, Aridian saves tonnes of water, substantially reducing water and sewage costs.

Not only does Aridian save water and is more hygienic than flushing urinals, it is simple and therefore quicker, easier and cheaper to install, with no cistern, flush pipes, bottle trap or sensors to fit.
