Armitage Shanks has launched a new range of waterless urinals, which are energy and cost efficient, as well as easy to install and maintain. This line of urinals is accompanied by a new collection of circular stainless steel water troughs, ideal for busy washrooms where there is a need to increase throughput.

The new waterless urinal range, Aquanil, is an entirely new cartridge system that can be used on conventional open rim urinals without the need for water; a revolutionary feature when the average urinal water consumption of 87,000 litres of water is taken into account.

Aquanil does not use a liquid to provide a seal; instead it uses a non-return rubber valve that allows liquids to pass through and then automatically reseals itself. The system’s cartridges last for approximately 7,000 uses before having to be replaced, reducing the amount of maintenance activity required.

Installation is also made simple via the new system, which can be retrofitted to most urinals. Aquanil works because it is situated within a special adaptor, fitted within the urinal, which replaces the standard waste.

Tony Rheinberg, Head of Commercial Marketing, said: “Armitage Shanks’ new range of waterless urinals and wash troughs has been launched with ease of operator installation and maintenance at the front of mind".
