Waterless Urinals

by

Irving’s Plumbing offers waterless urinals capable of saving you up to as much as 100,000 liters of water or more per year per fixture. This exciting new product by Water Matrixcompletely eliminates water and sewer costs normally incurred by conventional urinals. As water usage, perhaps our most precious resource, continues to rise, architects, builders, planners and environmentalists around the world are looking for new alternatives. With the no flush valve, waterless systems not only promise to reduce water usage, vandalism, maintenance and repair costs will also become a thing of the past. The Waterless No Flush™ urinal is easier to clean and is designed for retrofit or new construction applications in any type of industrial or commercial facility.

Why Choose Waterless Urinals?
Lower Water Usage
Waterless urinals are revolutionizing the plumbing industry by offering maintenance, operation and cleaning staff a viable alternative to manual and electronic urinals. With no more flushing, waterless urinals can save you up to 100,000 liters of water or more per year per fixture. This represents a massive saving of an increasingly scarce and expensive resource.

Easy Installation and Lower Maintenance
Waterless urinals are easier to install in both new construction and retrofit applications and maintenance is virtually eliminated. Our unit is quicker, easier and cheaper to install than conventional urinals, needing no cistern, flush pipes or bottle trap. And since there are no moving parts, you will no longer have to repair flush valves, or deal with encrustations, plugged drains, overflows or vandalism. Waterless systems also avoid the need for frost and vandal prone plumbing accessories and avoid flooding when bowls block due to scale or sabotage. Washrooms will no longer need to be shut down to remove salt build up in the piping and there will be no risk of flooding or water pressure drop during high peak periods.

Healthier
Regardless of what type of urinals or flushing system you currently have, waterless urinals will make your washroom or restroom a healthier place to be. As well as offering significant water savings, waterless urinals eliminate many of the problems associated with flushing urinals, namely scale, odour, blockage, and subsequent flooding. The waterless urinal is healthier and more hygienic than other alternatives because it is both dry and flushless. With Waterless urinals, bacteria doesn’t have the moisture they need to thrive. The dry urinal surface of the waterless urinal is liquid repellent and hostile to bacteria. Urinals that are flushed are known to spread bacterial aerosols, which then seed nearby wet and damp spots to form new growths. All of this is eliminated with waterless urinals. They eliminate offensive urinal odors by isolating urine from the restroom atmosphere. The EcoTrap®, a special drain insert, contains a layer of BlueSeal® liquid that floats on top of the urine in the trap and forms a barrier against sewer vapor escape. This EcoTrap® barrier is more sanitary than the pool of diluted urine that seals the conventional urinal drain.

How It Works
The Waterless No Flush™ Urinal by Water Matrix looks just like a conventional urinal. It is available in vitreous china, or fiberglass, and installs to a regular 2″ waste-line in new construction, renovations, or retrofit applications. The key to the success of the product is the unique EcoTrap system. A small amount (3 oz.) of an immiscible liquid called BlueSeal floats inside the removable trap. When the urinal is used, the urine passes through this “lighter than water” liquid and down the drain line just as it does in a conventional urinal. The BlueSeal liquid effectively forms a barrier between the drain and the washroom environment, sealing out the urine odor. The dry urinal surface creates a hostile environment for bacteria resulting in an even more sanitary and odor-free fixture. The 3 oz. of BlueSeal liquid will last for about 2000 urinal uses or more before requiring replenishment, making it much more economical than the ever increasing cost of water. By eliminating the flush valve; repairs and maintenance are also eliminated providing even greater savings.

Waterless Urinal Applications

The most obvious beneficiary of a waterless urinal has to be the general public and the maintenance and cleaning staff in charge of maintaining public washrooms and commercial restrooms. Some of the many possible applications might include everything from major department stores, hotels, hospitals, office buildings, restaurants, gas service stations, industrial facilities, to shopping malls and universities.

About Water Matrix
Waterless, Odorless, No Flushometer, No Valve Repairs, No Sensor, No Deodorizer Reduces Vandalism, Reduces Waste Volume, Reduces Maintenance, More Sanitary

With a North American history since 1991, the Water Matrix Waterless No-Flush urinal has established itself as the most economical urinal product available on the market today. Installation of a Water Matrix Waterless No-Flush urinal typically reduces your operating costs by approximately 75% without compromise to a clean and odor-free washroom environment.

Water Matrix introduced the first Waterless urinal to the Canadian market in 2001. Over the past few years similar products have been introduced. While imitation does validate our technology, and is the highest form of flattery, no other product has been able to duplicate the cost effectiveness of the Waterless No-Flush urinal by Water Matrix.

Urinals

by

Irving’s Plumbing supplies a complete line of urinals for commercial and even home use. We specialize in innovative urinal designs, accessories and parts from flush valves to sensors. We supply some of the most popular brand name urinals on the market including Mansfield, Kohler and Sloan. A urinal is a type of specialized toilet designed to be used only for urination and almost always by a standing male. They are smaller than your average toilet, use a lot less water and are much more convenient in a commerical or public bathroom. Waterless urinals represent the latest innovation in developing environmentally friendly toilets for reducing water use.

Urinals are classified according to whether or not they employ a flush valve, and the flush valve iself which determines the flush type, i.e., lever, push button, automatic (battery) and automatic (hardware). While most urinals incorporate a flushing system to rinse the bowl of the device, waterless no flush urinals are starting to appear as a viable alternative. In conventional flush valve systems, the flush can be triggered by one of several methods:

Manual Urinals
The lever type of flush valve might be regarded as standard in North America. Each urinal is equipped with a short lever or a push button to activate the flush, with users expected to operate it as they leave. This flushing method is efficient as long as patrons remember to use it.

Timed Flush Urinals
In some countries where manual flush handles are unusual, the method of flush is a timed flush that operates automatically at regular intervals. Groups of up to ten or so urinals are connected to a single overhead cistern, which contains the timing mechanism. A constant feed of water slowly fills the cistern, until a tripping point is reached, the valve opens, and all the urinals in the group are flushed. Electronic controllers performing the same function are also used. This system does not require any action from its users, but it is wasteful of water where the toilets are used irregularly.

Automatic Flush Urinals
Electronic automatic flushes solve the problems of both previous approaches, and are common in new installations. In these models, the flush valve is either automatic and batter powered, or automatic (hardware). Active or (more usually) passive infra-red detectors identify when the toilet has been used, and activate the flush. Thus the urinal is cleaned where with a manual flush it might not have been, but water is not wasted when the toilet is not used.

Waterless Urinals
Maintaining a public restroom or washroom has to be a major cost for most businesses. Loss of customers, high water usage and high maintenance costs can all add up to a major headache. Waterless urinals not only promise massive savings in water usage, they require no maintenance, are easy to install and clean, and they make your washroom a healthier place for your customers. With no flush valve, waterless systems not only promise to reduce water usage, vandalism, maintenance and repair costs will also become a thing of the past. The waterless urinal is designed for retrofit or new construction applications in any type of industrial or commercial facility.

Tankless Water Heaters

by

Tired of always having to wait for a few minutes before the hot water arrives, or of running out of hot water? Consider a tankless hot water heater – hot water at your finger tips the instant you need it. Tankless water heaters, also referred to as instantaneous water heaters, provide an endless supply of hot water without using a storage tank. Powered by gas or electricity, tankless water heaters are easy to install, cost effective, a space saver and are designed to last 20 years or more. They can be used as a supplementary source of hot water located at the point of use or can replace your existing hot water heater. Call us today for more information. Learn more about the Bosch Tankless Water Heaters.

If you go to www.protankless.com, pick the model number that you are looking for and email it to us, we will get you a quote.

How Does a Tankless Water Heater Work?
Whenever you turn on a hot water faucet or have a hot shower, cold water travels through a pipe into the tankless hot water unit, where either a gas burner or an electric element heats the water. The faucet acts as a key for turning on the heating element to heat the hot water you need. The water is heated as it flows through the heating elements or heat exchanger. As the water pressure fluctuates, the heating element are adjusted to maintain a constant temperature and maximum energy efficiency. Once you turn the faucet off, the tankless hot water heating system also turns off.

tankless water heatersAdvantages of a Tankless Water Heater

1. Tankless water heaters are smaller, lighter and easier to install than a conventional water heater
2. Unlike a tank water heater, tankless water heaters never run out of hot water.
3. Traditional water heaters take up a lot of space while tankless water heaters hang on the wall saving you considerable floor space.
4. Tank water heaters store water which is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Tankless water heaters do not store hot water eliminating the risk of bacteria growth.
5. Tank water heaters have an average lifetime of only 2-9 years while tankless water heaters are designed to last 20 years or more.
6. Tankless water heaters maintain their efficiency for the life of the unit, while a conventional water heater becomes less efficient due to the annual build up of minerals.
7. Tank water heaters have an electric energy factor of .80 to .90 and a natural gas/liquid propane energy factor of .52 to .62. Tankless water heaters have an electric energy factor of .95 to .99 and a natural gas/liguid propane energy factor of .69 to .85.

tankless water heatersFeatures of Tankless Water Heaters

  • Efficiency – the term energy factor characterizes the efficiency of both tank and tankless water heaters. The energy factor is the portion of the energy going into the water heater that gets turned into usable hot water under average conditions. It takes into account heat loss through the walls of the tank, up the flue, and in combustion. The higher the energy factor, the more efficient the heater. Because tankless water heaters don’t have the losses associated with tanks, their energy factors are normally higher (although well-insulated, ultra-efficient tank heaters also have high energy factors). Energy factors for gas tankless water heaters range from around 0.69 to 0.84, compared with 0.55 for a conventional tank and 0.86 for an ultra-efficient tank heater. Conventional electric tank water heaters have an energy factor of about 0.87 compared with 0.91 for an ultra-efficient tank and 0.98 for electric tankless water heaters.
  • Standing pilot or electronic ignitions. Tankless water heaters with standing pilot lights waste energy, but they can be cost effective in applications where water use is high, i.e., in a beauty salon. An electric ignition is your best bet where water use is lower, i.e., in your own home.
  • Modulating or fixed energy input. Older tankless water heaters have a fixed energy output, so water temperatures vary inversely with flow rate. As the flow rate increases (more taps are turned on), the water becomes cooler. Conversely, as flow rate decreases the water becomes warmer. Newer models come with a modulating control that increases or decreases energy input to maintain the desired temperature in spite of varying flow rates and inlet temperatures. Use units with modulating controls when a steady temperature is required and also to prevent scalding in applications where people or animals may come in contact with the water. A modulating unit is not necessary when temperature fluctuations are acceptable as they are in a commercial laundry.
  • Energy inputs. Electric heating element and gas requirements for tankless water heaters are much larger than for storage water heaters. A typical gas storage water heater has a gas input of 40,000 Btu/h. A gas tankless heater, however, may use up to 170,000 BTU/h and so may require larger gas lines and vents than conventional water heaters. Similarly, although a typical residential electric storage water heater draws at most 7,000 watts, a whole house electric tankless heater can draw as much as 19,200 watts, and may require 8 or 10 AWG copper wiring. Specifications for tankless water heaters also include requirements for minimum flow rates to activate them (usually around 1/2 to 3/4 gpm), as well as minimum and maximum water pressure (usually 15 to 150 psi).

Selecting a Tankless Hot Water Heater
Most of us don’t bother looking for a new water heater until its too late. Even fewer are aware that there other options besides the traditional storage tank water heater. Whether you’re replacing an old hot water heater or installing one in a new house, it’s important to look at some of the advantages of choosing the tankless option:

  • Type – there are two main types of tankless water heaters: electric and gas/propane water heaters. Choosing between them depends on how much you want to spend, whether you have access to gas/propane, how much electricity costs and where you live. Most people choose a gas water heater because the cost of gas is approximately one third that of electricity. Gas tankless systems also have wider applications because they produce hot water at higher flow rates. An electric tankless system is an appropriate choice only when gas is not an option and no space is available for a tank hot water heater. Electric or gas/propane heaters can be whole house or point of use.
  • Size or Capacity – Decide the model depending on what capacity or size you need during peak demand, the incoming water temperature, and the desired outgoing water temperature. Most units advertised as whole house tankless water heaters will provide 2 to 3 gallons per minute (gpm) of hot water at a 70°F temperature rise. Choose the model of water heater closest to your flow rate and temperature rise needs. Choose the capacity during peak demand based on the number of users, the number of showers or bathtubs, whether or not you have a dishwasher, and how many hot water devices you expect to have open at one time. Add up their flow rates and this determines your desired flow rate for the demand of water. For example, assume that you want a tankless water heater to operate a shower and kitchen sink at the same time. Most low flow showerheads require about 2 to 3 gpm, and most kitchen sinks about 1 to 15 gpm of mixed hot and cold water. Because showers and kitchen sinks usually use partly cold water, assume your peak demand is 2 gpm for the shower and 1 gpm for the sink, for a total peak demand of 3gpm.
  • Cost Effectiveness – tankless water heaters are the most cost effective when used in high flow rate applications. Because there are so many variables involved in calculating cost effectiveness, it’s a good idea to do your own analysis. Analysis of a hypothetical situation reveals that payback periods for tankless heaters are significantly longer in lower water use applications (68.8 gallons per day) than in high water use applications (250 gallons per day). In the example, tankless water heaters have paybacks ranging from approximately 5.5 to 11 years in low water-use applications compared to approximately 3 to 7.5 years in high water-use applications. It is interesting to note that the tankless heater with a standing pilot light becomes more cost effective than the electronic control unit with the same flow capacity under high flow conditions. This is because when consumption is high enough, the pilot light does not waste a lot of energy. Because the example here includes many assumptions that may be different than your real life situation, we recommend that you use your own figures to determine cost effectiveness. Tankless heaters may become even more attractive when replacement costs are considered, since tank water heaters must be replaced between 6 to 10 years and the tankless heaters last at least 20 years. Other important costs to consider include upgrading energy supply lines and the possibility of hiring an additional qualified technician with experience installing tankless water heaters.

Wholesale Plumbing Supplies

by

In the plumbing world, everything begins and ends with water. It is because of our need for water that we look for new and innovative ways of acquiring it and how to get rid of it once we are finished with it. By “plumbing” we usually mean a system of piping that carries water into and out of an inhabited building. It can also mean a lot more. To protect the public health, every inhabited building must provide a fresh and safe supply of water for drinking, the safe operation of the plumbing fixtures and appliances, and the effective removal of waste and waste water. To provide the sanitary facilities required, local governments are responsible for establishing regulations or plumbing codes, which govern design and installation requirements and the minimum number of fixtures needed, based on building use and the number of occupants. At Irving’s Plumbing Supplies we strive to meet all these requirements by providing only the best in service and expertise.

Our inventory of wholesale plumbing supplies covers all aspects of the plumbing process. In a water management system, plumbing or sanitation engineers not only have to concern themselves with the supply of water, but they have to be experts on the drain-waste-vent (DWV) system. Our line of wholesale plumbing supplies includes all aspects of the water management system, from its supply to its safe and effective removal. Our inventory includes all possible types of piping and fittings from copper to plastic – valves, drains, pumps, interceptors, parts & tools.

Pipes and Fittings
While you might not be able to find pipes made from hollow logs, most buildings will have a combination of plastic, copper, galvanized steel, and maybe even some lead, brass or iron. While plastic is used mostly as a drain and waste pipe, copper is still the pipe of choice for most DWV systems. When you are dealing with pipe, whether it be a brand new building or a renovation project, you will need all types of fittings and ways to join pipe together. Once the pipes are connected, they will need to be supported so that they can function properly.

Valves
Developments in valve technology is constantly advancing are making it easy for you to get the right valve to do the job. We offer the latest design advancements in valves in a variety of sizes and shapes, complete with all the connections and options you will ever need. Whether you plan on using valves for hydronic, heating, plumbing, or heavy industrial processes, our valves are guaranteed to do the job.

Pumps
A sump pump is one of the best ways to remove excessive water from your building. As ground water levels rise after a heavy snow or rainfall, a sump pump will remove any excess water up through piping and safely away from the building.

Interceptors
Interceptors prevent grease, fats, oils, waxes and soaps from clogging up your waste drainage system. If you have anything to do with the preparation and cooking of food, you are going to have to invest in a grease interceptor sooner or later. We supply a full line of lint, hair and grease interceptors.

Plumbing Parts & Tools
With years of experience of finding the right tool or part for all kinds of plumbing projects, our choices in plumbing parts and tools are based on which part or tool works best, lasts the longest, and gives us years of trouble free service. When you purchase parts and tools from us, know that you are paying for that expertise.
