Waterfree urinals

In my workplace, half of the men’s restrooms were recently closed for some sort of remodeling, and after that was completed, the other half have been closed. I finally found out why: they’ve installed Falcon 2000 Waterfree Urinals. While saving water is obviously beneficial, intuitively a waterfree urinal seems like a bad idea. However, it turns out that these actually have far less odor than conventional urinals, and are more sanitary. Studies have shown that in actual usage, they harbor less bacteria than a standard urinal. They also are more reliable, since they have no valve to fail, and require less maintenance.

I originally tried to come up with something witty to say about them, but perhaps it’s best not to let this blog degenerate into a cesspool toilet humor.
