Why do traditional remedies not work?
Reducing water consumption by itself does not work – many water management systems have been designed to reduce water consumption to urinals and hence reduce operating costs. Unfortunately many users of these systems have found the reduction in water flushing resulted in an increase in blockages and bad smells. Why? Because there is insufficient water to physically move the sludge and biofilm along the pipe-work. Chemical dosing systems – chemical dosing systems and more recently enzyme dosing systems have been introduced to work in conjunction with the water management units. Chemicals are fed into the water as the urinal flushes. Since the chemicals/enzymes are flushed away before they have a chance of being effective, the chemical products need to be added at very regular intervals to be effective. As these chemicals are quite expensive the user is often left paying more for the water management system and chemicals than they did while frequently flushing with water. Using enzymes b
