    URIMAT waterless urinals are simple to install and typically save users around 100,000 litres of water per urinal per year, so both the financial and water savings can be very substantial indeed meaning that clients realise quick return on investment. Here are some examples of projects that we have worked on and savings that customers have achieved.

    A global software company HQ in Surrey saved £10,000 per year and achieved pay back in 18 months

    Water usage from flushing urinals

    We installed our waterless urinals in the HQ of a large software firm. The firm had 12 gents washrooms onsite, each of which had a nine litre cistern flushing six times per hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. That means the company was flushing away over 5.5 million litres of water per year.

    Cost of water usage

    Thames Valley water charges £1.69 per cubic metre of water per year. In this instance that means that the company was paying £9,595 in annual water charges for flushing its traditional urinals.

    Saving by switching to waterless urinals

    By switching to waterless urinals the company could save almost £10,000 from its annual water bill.

    Cost of installation

    By year two the cost was only £1,588 in maintenance charges with a saving of £9,595 in annual water charges

    Payback including installation and yearly maintenance was achieved in 18 months.

    In addition the water saving of 5.5 million litres per year equates to a reduction of 993kg of CO2 emissions.
