The success of the Uridan single bowl design has lead to an increasing interest in Uridan’s range of waterless urinals troughs. The Uridan waterless urinal trough is increasingly specified for high traffic commercial installations and is ideal for both new and retrofit installations.

Uridan trough urinals have been designed with the in-built water lock distinctly unique to the Uridan design. Uridan troughs provide a high level of hygiene in amenities combined with low cost maintenance and a huge reduction in water and energy use.

The simple maintenance procedure requires no expensive proprietary cartridges, bladders, or high cost mechanical seals. The only requirement is the Urilock fluid, which is a 100 % biodegradable oil blocking all odours from the pipes below. As no replacement parts are required, this greatly reduces the running cost of Uridan waterless urinals when compared to other waterless urinal brands.

A Uridan single bowl urinal saves approximately 50,000 litres of water per year, so a 2400mm trough (equivalent to 4 single bowl urinals) saves on average 200,000 litres per year, equivalent to a saving of approximately $720 in water and waste water charges plus the associated carbon savings attributed to moving water around a building.

Uridan waterless troughs are available in 1200, 1800 and 2400mm lengths in a granite colour and a lighter stone grey.

Uridan waterless urinals troughs are currently in use in a number of high traffic facilities catering for a large number of males. Current installations include cinemas, schools and universities, bowling clubs, caravan parks, commercial office buildings, restaurants, shopping centres, RSL clubs, onsite event amenities, factories and warehouses.

The Uridan waterless range was first introduced to the market in Denmark in 1998 and today Uridan is available worldwide. Watersave Australia has been distributing the Uridan range in Australia since 2003.

Paul Marsh, Managing Director of Watersave Australia says: “In 2003 Watersave Australia was the ‘trail blazer’ for waterless urinals in Australia. The concept of ‘going waterless’ was largely unknown in this country so the introduction of Uridan waterless urinals was a new concept. Initially Uridan was appealing primarily due to the environmental benefits, the water savings and the architectural design lines of the product.”

“These benefits have not changed, but today, installing Uridan waterless urinals is also seen as an astute business decision. Organisations focussing on sustainability need to look at water management to achieve the best sustainability ratings (Green Star and NABERS ratings).   Uridan single bowl and trough urinals are also instrumental in saving millions of litres of water providing immediate and measurable water savings in any business. “

“But it doesn’t stop there. Today, we can calculate that Uridan is cheaper to install and maintain when compared to flushing urinals and the Uridan built in water lock means that there are no plastic cartridges, costly rubber bladder seals or messy deodorising cubes; that are largely required for other waterless urinal brands. This reduces maintenance and operating costs as well as energy and resources, “ says Marsh.

Uridan has become Australia’s leading waterless urinal brand providing architects and building designers with a complete range of waterless urinal solutions. The Uridan waterless range includes 8 different designs in single bowl urinals (available in different colours and materials), and 3 Uridan waterless urinal troughs. The Uridan privacy screen is designed to follow the architectural lines of the Uridan urinals while providing comfort and privacy for users.

Uridan waterless urinals help to create stunning bathroom designs with huge water savings, cost savings and CO2 savings. Today, the Uridan range is frequently specified for sporting facilities, commercial office towers, shopping centres, pubs, clubs, restaurants, council buildings and schools.

Watersave Australia represented the Danish company Uridan A/S, a company manufacturing the world’s leading waterless urinal.

Paul Marsh, Managing Director of Watersave Australia says: “We have been distributing Uridan waterless urinals successfully in Australia for almost 9 years. Australia’s lack of water and the growing demand for potable water makes the Uridan product ideal for this climate. Every Uridan urinal that is installed saves between 50 – 60,000 litres of water per year, so for large organisations Uridan represents more than just an environmental decision. Every Uridan waterless urinal represents measurable water, energy and cost savings.”

Uridan waterless urinals are increasingly being selected by organisations with a focus on sustainability and the product is widely used in commercial offices, schools, sporting facilities and shopping centres. The Danish designed Uridan range is frequently specified for new projects, however, the State of Green event has highlighted a need to focus on the retrofit market with small businesses recognizing the need to takes steps to green up their facilities too.

“Watersave Australia was thrilled to represent the Uridan range during State of Green and the event has already provided opportunities for future projects. We have cemented our relationship with a few leading developers and architectural firms, and made some valuable new contacts. It was of course, a highlight to meet HRH The Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Denmark”, says Paul Marsh.

This business delegation, headed up by HRH the Crown Prince and HRH the Crown Princess of Denmark, will take place in Sydney and Melbourne from 21-24 November.

Watersave Australia has been invited to represent Uridan A/S during the event to showcase the award winning range of Uridan waterless urinals.

Uridan Waterless Urinals have been available in Australia for almost a decade and the Danish Design urinals have proven to save approximately 50,000 litres of clean drinking water per urinal per year in addition to the embodied carbon savings from substantial water savings achieved.

The Uridan product is specifically engineered to require no water for flushing, and the extensive range of Uridan waterless urinals is a clear winner with architects and property owners looking for a combination of environmental performance, operating cost benefits and outstanding aesthetics in amenities.

Watersave Australia is excited to be a part of this high profile event and proud to represent Uridan A/S in Australia. With climate change and population growth creating increasing demands for environmentally friendly, intelligent solutions, Uridan waterless urinals are being selected by many organisations focussing on water and energy savings.

Recognising that large businesses increasingly have a requirement to report on water consumption, Watersave has developed the SmartMeter Multi-Logger to provide a simple solution to water monitoring across multiple sites in a property portfolio.

A single Multi-Logger unit can read water usage data from up to 128 individual water meters and connect to the secure monitoring website via a single GPRS modem or a direct RJ45 data point. The transmitters can be configured as either solar or battery powered units depending upon whether the water meter is outside or inside the building.

The data collected by the Multi-Logger will be uploaded every 15 minutes to the secure Watersave SmartMetering website and is available in real-time (i.e. approximately 15-30 minutes behind the actual viewing time).

Watersave Australia has been working with Australian business to save water since 2003. The latest Watersave SmartMeter System ensures that water consumption data is made available online via a secure website, providing access to accurate and up-to-date data for reporting. The Multi-Logger means that multiple sites can be accessed without business managers having to leave the office to read meters, and alerts are sent via e-mail or SMS to selected individuals if abnormal water usage occurs. This means problems can be identified quickly – for immediate rectification- saving valuable time, water and money!

The graph above shows how a typical council graph could look over a 3 day period illustrating water use at 3 different sites. The SmartMeter can provide this (and more) information via a secure website.

The SmartMeter System is used widely by local councils, schools and commercial business to reduce water consumption and provide accurate sustainability reporting.

Ongoing SmartMetering and automatic leak detection and notification enables commercial and government users to manage water efficiently – avoiding water wastage and unexpected water costs.

The company has recently relocated to new premises at 6/20 Narabang Way in Belrose,  just 30 km’s North of the Sydney CBD, to house a growing number of employees.

Managing Director, Paul Marsh said: “When I started this company in 2003, I had ambitions to build a successful business that would make a difference to Australia’s water conservation and commercial water management. Today, it appears that my interest in water and sustainability, combined with a strong background in IT & Consultancy, has created a strong foundation on which to build a growing business delivering sustainable water management solutions.”

Watersave Australia’s Uridan Waterless Urinals are today instrumental in saving millions of litres of water and many organisations have come to rely on this product to make immediate and measurable water savings in their business. The Uridan product is regularly specified by property owners, architects, plumbers and building designers to manage water consumption while also providing a stunning Danish Design product.

The award winning SmartMeter System, designed and developed by Watersave Australia, provides businesses with instant access to accurate water usage data for analysis, improved water management and sustainability reporting. SmartMeter users can view water usage data online via a secure website; and base flows, water usage patterns and abnormal usage (such as leaks, faulty equipment etc) can be identified and rectified quickly to avoid excessive water wastage and increasing utilities costs.

Paul Marsh said: “With a growing number of employees in our Sydney office, a satellite office in Melbourne, and our new premises in Belrose, we are keen to provide our existing and future business partners with the products and support they require for sustainable business practices and sound water management solutions.”

The website will be continually updated to reflect the increasing capabilities of the SmartMeter System, providing valuable Water Management Information. Existing SmartMeter Customers will be able to access their own up to date water usage data from a secure area of the site using a personal login. This data can then be used for analysis and sustainability reporting.

In addition, the new site will contain detailed information  regarding Uridan Waterless Urinals which many businesses have come to rely on for significant water savings. Architects, designers and building owners will have access to CAD drawings, installation images,  and technical drawings; and case studies will be available from companies already utilising this water saving technology.

Paul Marsh said: “Watersave Australia is increasingly being sought out to assist government, commercial, architectural and design organisations with their sustainability efforts. This is a very exciting stage in Watersave’s development and future growth. Our new website showcases our growing organisaton as a powerful resource within the green building industry and business sustainability sector.”
