In the restroom at Nathan’s soccer game last weekend, the guy in front of me didn’t flush. Irritating.
Then I saw why he didn’t flush. Really irritating.
(Also, I believe I can safely say this is the first photo I’ve ever taken at a urinal.)
Measuring gallons per flush is just so passé. How about no water at all? Congratulations, radical environmentalists. You’ve got men back to peeing in just a hole in the ground, basically.
So can we now expect a tiff between the waterless urinal crowd and the men-should-pee-sitting-down crowd? I mean, the logical conclusion there is a waterless toilet, is it not?
Urinals should flush. Because civilization.

As long as they are cleaned regularly…why do urinals need to flush?
(As a non urinal user, I’m assuming the point of the water is to “wash” the urine down the urinal. Is there another reason?)
That’s pretty much the purpose of the flush, same idea with a toilet.
I’m curious what mechanism they have in these urinals to keep them “hygienic” in place of a water flush.
Funny you should ask. I looked into that.
It’s just gravity that pulls the urine away as you’d think. The odor is controlled by a replaceable cartridge. I wonder what those cost? I wonder how accessible it is?
Plus, anything flushing into a municipal sewer system is treated anyway, right? So what’s the benefit? This was at Florence High School in the middle of the city.
Curious, did your wife happen to make a visit to the women’s restroom? Wondering if the school used some variation of this “water technology” in there.
Kara, after getting over the novelty of being asked to recall something a healthy person is not generally in the habit of logging, mentally or otherwise, Mrs. Williams confidently reports that she used a conventional toilet at the Florence High School soccer fields last weekend.
