Clear washroom benefits
August 1st 2007 Initial Washroom Solutions has launched eco-clear, a complete hygiene service for urinals that can reduce water usage by up to 90 per cent and help avoid blockages and unpleasant odours, without the use of harmful chemicals Whereas previously a continual flow of water, or frequent automatic flushing, have been the most common means of keeping urinals clean, this wastes a large volume of water and doesn't necessarily alleviate the problem of odour. By combining the eco-clear sleeve cap and eco-clear system, urinals can now be better maintained, and have less of an environmental impact. The eco-clear sleeve is installed inside the urinal waste pipe and designed to act as a temporary holding vessel for urine, meaning the system can be flushed through less often.The sleeve contains bioenzymes that penetrate uric acid, salts and scale, preventing bacteria growing or bio-film forming whilst the urine is stagnant, combating any unpleasant odours that could occur. As urinal odour is the result of uric acid reacting with water, a system such as this, which reduces the amount of contact, will actually reduce the problem significantly. Using eco-sleeve, a timed water management device can then be employed and urinal flushing reduced to as little as just four times a day, resulting in a reduction of water use by up to 90 per cent, significantly cutting water costs and a company's impact on the environment. The eco-clear system includes a timed water management device that fits directly to the solenoid valve in the urinal, which controls the flow of water to the cistern. Finally, the eco-clear cap sits in the plug-hole, preventing any foreign matter from falling into the waste trap and reducing blockages that lead to unsightly overflows. Initial Washroom Solutions provides a complete urinal hygiene service that includes the quick and easy installation of the ecoclear product range, a deep clean of the urinal bowl, pipework, wall and floor tiles and a quarterly supply of the eco-clear cleaning solution that contains the bioenzymes. "eco-clear makes urinals greener and cleaner," says Una de Boer, head of marketing for Initial Washroom Solutions."eco-clear doesn't use chemicals and reduces water usage making it more environmentally friendly while at the same time helping to save money on water.Thanks to the 'friendly bacteria' designed to remove the uric acid, washrooms will also smell fresher,making unpleasant odours a thing of the past."
