Welcome to ZeroFlush HQ on the Gold Coast
Water bills keep climbing, and every flush tips precious drinking water straight down the toilet.
If you’re researching waterless urinals Australia‑wide, start here. ZeroFlush stops the waste by entirely removing water from the equation. Work through this twelve‑step checklist and switch with confidence.
1. 💡 Understand the Technology
Waterless urinals rely on gravity and a seal to block odours. ZeroFlush adds a patented EnviroSeal system with no valves or electrics, so reliability soars.
🔸 EnviroSeal creates an air‑tight odour lock.
🔸 Urine flows straight to the drain – nothing mechanical to jam.
🔸 Fewer parts mean lower maintenance and longer life.
🔸 Staff only need to replace BioPur Peroxetab.
2. 🏢 Check Building Compatibility
Most buildings can retrofit waterless urinals without drama. High‑traffic venues recover costs fastest because the water saving multiplies with every visit.
🔸 Existing PVC drains usually accept a direct fit.
🔸 A simple bracket anchors the urinal – no flush valve required.
🔸 Speak to your plumber about venting if the lines are long or flat.
🔸 New builds save capital by skipping water supply lines altogether.
3. ✅ Waterless Urinals Australia – Tick the Standard Box
In Australia, plumbing work must satisfy the Plumbing Code of Australia and AS/NZS 3500 standards. All waterless urinals must carry WaterMark certification. ZeroFlush meets all requirements, giving certifiers instant peace of mind.
🔸 WaterMark licence number printed on every bowl.
🔸 Product files ready for council submission.
🔸 Installation guide aligns with the National Construction Code.
🔸 Faster approvals mean you open on schedule.
4. 🔄 Count the Cartridge Life
Cartridge lifespan drives long‑term cost. The ZeroFlush EnviroSeal units last up to 15,000 uses, even in harsh pub conditions.
🔸 That is roughly four to six months in a busy men’s room.
🔸 One EnviroSeal unit can be swapped over in under two minutes.
🔸 No tools touch the drain, reducing WH&S risk.
🔸 Predictable cycles help set fixed maintenance budgets.
5. 🧹 Nail the Cleaning Routine
Waterless urinals clean quicker than flush units because there is no rim to scrub. A natural enzyme spray keeps the porcelain urinal spotless.
🔸 Two‑minute clean per urinal – deal for contract cleaners.
🔸 No bleach or acid; both damage the EnviroSeal.
🔸 Daily wipe, weekly external polish, monthly EnviroSeal tab install.
🔸 Training video links supplied with every order.
6. 🚫 Keep the Pong at Bay
Odour only creeps in when the cleaning and servicing instructions are not followed. Follow the maintenance cues, and noses will stay happy.
🔸 Clean the urinal with Aquatemp Spray & Go Urinal Cleaner & Deodoriser.
🔸 Post a small “no water please” sticker above the bowl.
🔸 Ensure floors are graded so mops don’t backflow into the bowl.
🔸 Quarterly audit catches minor issues before they become serious.
7. 💰 Compare Install Costs
Removing water pipes, electronic sensors and flush valves slashes labour and materials. Builders often see a one‑third drop in fit‑out cost.
🔸 No cistern, solenoid, or sensor to buy.
🔸 Smaller drain line saves core drilling time.
🔸 Lightweight unit fixes to standard wall studs.
🔸 Savings show on day one, not years later.
8. 🌟 Chase the Green Stars
Green Star and NABERS Water rating tools reward fixtures that cut consumption. ZeroFlush helps you secure points with minimal red tape.
🔸 Each urinal saves up to 150,000 L per year.
🔸 Reduced water equals lower greenhouse gas from treatment plants.
🔸 Sustainability reports feature real numbers, not promises.
🔸 Tenants and guests notice visible green action.
9. 🛡️ Think Vandal and Germ Proofing
Cistern handles tempt vandals and collects germs. Waterless bowls remove both hazards, making facilities sturdier and safer.
🔸 Smooth vitreous china deters graffiti.
🔸 No buttons to kick, bend, or jam.
🔸 Touch‑free use limits pathogen transfer.
🔸 Easy access for rapid visual checks by security staff.
10. 🤝 Demand Local Backup
Reliable supply beats flashy brochures. ZeroFlush stocks parts on the Gold Coast and ships nationwide.
🔸 Real technicians answer the phone – no chatbots.
🔸 Free on‑site training for large roll‑outs.
🔸 Spare parts kits land within 24 hours in metro areas.
🔸 Warranty claims resolved in one call.
11. 📊 Measure Your Water Savings
Real data convinces accountants and boards. Compare bills before and after installation to prove the value.
🔸 Track kilolitres saved per month.
🔸 Convert litres to dollars using your tariff.
🔸 Display results on foyer screens to boost corporate pride.
🔸 Savings often fund other sustainability projects.
12. 📣 Educate Users & Cleaners
Success hinges on people following a few simple habits. Clear signs and short training lock in performance.
🔸 Place “waterless—no flush” decals above each urinal.
🔸 Show cleaners the two‑minute routine on day one.
🔸 Include ZeroFlush instructions in contractor induction packs.
🔸 Quarterly reminders maintain the standard.
