Bettys Restaurant
Located just down the street from George Brown College’s King Street campus, Betty’sis a great spot to kick back and put down your books for awhile. The two story bar features a reasonably priced menu with a wide range of drinks and a small patio tucked away from traffic on King and Sherbourne Streets.
Tom Wilson, the manager of Betty’s wanted to install some new urinals in the restaurant. Tom had explained that the old urinals were water flush urinals and they were constantly having to be repaired due to the constant use of the urinals. It was decided that they would try the Urimat Waterless Urinal in hopes of reducing the maintenance and eliminating the water costs. They installed two 1600 Ecoplus Models in October 2011 and they really like the results to date.
Betty’s purchased the Urimat waterless urinals from Otter Creek who is a North American distributor for Urimat waterless urinals. If you would like to speak with someone from Otter Creek please call 1-800-981-3590

Urimat Waterless Urinals
Maintenance costs can very depending on the make and model of the waterless urinal and how frequently it is being used. Based on research online it looks like the average yearly maintenance cost of a waterless urinal will be between $150.00 and $200.00. All waterless urinals come with replacement cartridges. Sloan models uses oil that needs to be used and Urimat does not. Cartridges need to be changed every 6 to 12,000 uses and a cartridge will cost between $50.00 and $60.00. Cleaning supplies make up the rest of the yearly costs which can include concentrated cleaner and cubes. I like the Urimat system over the Sloan when it comes to the cleaning and changing of the cartridges. Sloan uses oil and therefore it is difficult to know when cartridges need to be changed as the oil sits within the cartridge. Urimat uses a “Active Cube”that sits within the urinal and when it completely dissolves you know its time to change the cartridge. Cleaning of the urinals is done on a daily or weekly basis depending on the usage of the urinals. Cleaning a waterless urinal is not any different than cleaning water urinals when it comes to frequency. You must clean your urinals regularly to maintain a clean and odor free bathroom.
I like the waterless urinals because they help save valuable drinking water and from what I can see the technology has come a long way from when they were first introduced into the marketplace. If I had to make a choice between one or the other I like the Urimat model as it seems to offer a better visual maintenance for knowing when to change the cartridges and also it does not require any oil in the elimination of odor.
