The use of podcasts for interviews has become much more “mainstream” Reichardt, whose company was the first manufacturer of waterless urinal systems in the United States, was asked five reasons why businesses should consider selecting a no-water urinal system. The following are excerpts of his reasons: 1. Water savings. In Chicago’s 110-story Willis Tower, there are approximately 1,200 urinals. “If one urinal uses approximately 40,000 gallons of water per year that means nearly 50 million gallons of water [are] used every year just to flush urinals in this one building,” says Reichardt. 2. Cost savings. Water costs start at around $7 per 1,000 gallons. This means that one no-water urinal can save up to $280 per year in water costs. “That’ 3. Reduced vandalism. Unfortunately, the flush-valves on traditional urinals are a big target for vandalism in schools and other commercial facilities. Waterless urinals have no flush valves. 4. Cleanliness. Urine is sterile. It’s when it’s mixed with water that bacteria and odor can develop. “I’ve been in many buildings with no-water urinals,” he says. “If [the urinals are] properly maintained, bacteria and odor are not a problem.” 5. Lowered operating costs. Of all restroom plumbing fixtures, flushed urinals tend to require more repairs than any other. These costs are eliminated with a no-water system. “This is the first time I have ever been interviewed for a podcast,” says Reichardt. “I am always happy to discuss the benefits of waterless urinals and water efficiencies, whether it is a podcast, [in] a magazine, or up on the podium.” A full text of the interview with Reichardt may be found by visiting http://greencollar.podbean.com/ # # # About Waterless Waterless Co.
