Cartridge Used in Waterfree Urinal

Incinerating Toilet Cycle

Waterless Washing Machine

There have been lots of advancements in terms of technological waterless systems. Here are a few examples with explanations of how they work:
Falcon Waterfree Urinal

• The combination of non-stick, non-porous materials of construction and the funnel-shape of the cartridge ensure all urine passes into the cartridge and through a unique sealant liquid that floats on top of the liquid beneath it.
• This sealant liquid provides an airtight barrier between urine and the restroom to prevent odors from escaping the drain, but allows urine to pass through because it is lighter than water
• The only maintenance required is routine cleaning of the fixture and an easy change of the cartridge, performed approximately three to four times per year.

Waterless Toilet Technology: Incinerating Toilets

• Incinerating toilets can also be waterless. Instead of breaking down waste biologically, these toilets torch it. They send the waste to an incinerator, where it's burned to sterile ash.
• Flushing is handled by some type of dry method, like an auger (essentially a large screw) that turns to push the waste into the incinerator.
• The problem with this technology is that you need to pay for the fuel that the incinerator uses.

Waterless Washing Machine

• These machines consist of nylon beads. These beads being positively charged, stick to the stains easily. Technically speaking, the beads act as catalysts for your washing powder/detergent.
• You have to load your laundry first. Then you have to allow the nylon or other beads to interact with your clothes. There will be a cartridge uniquely made for loading these beads. Add a glass of water along with the detergent.
• It consumes just 2% of water when compared to the standard washing machines.

There are many more new technologies that help save water, whether just by reducing the amount of water that they use or by substituting in a new system.
