TAPU - An Innovative Waterless Urinal Solution
A brief background:
Earth is comprised of 70% of water however only 3% of the total available water is consumable. Globally, more than 1 billion people don’t have access to clean, drinkable water. It means, 1 out of 6 people, doesn’t have access to this basic necessity which is so vital for sustaining life.
Keeping the above scenario in mind,ELAN along with “Prayas Innovations” has come up with TAPU – an innovative urinal system that is healthy and cost effective. It also economises water spent per flush.
Traditional urinals have number of shortcomings:
- Per flush water consumption is on the higher side
- Water wastage in case of valves
- Bad odour (in case not cleaned from time to time)
- Threat of diseases if not sanitised from time to time
- Maintenance cost
TAPU addresses the above mentioned issues by intelligently using innovation and technology. Some of the key benefits can be seen below:
- Saves 1,67,900 litres of water per year per urinal.
- Flexible – can be installed in all types of urinals
- Saves electricity
- Pocket friendly
- Saves water as there is a significant reduction in water consumed per flush
- Eco friendly
- User friendly
