1. Introduction
The Waterless 1101 BlueSeal Urinal Trap Liquid is a specialized solution designed for use with waterless urinals. This ready-to-use liquid forms a protective seal within the urinal trap, effectively preventing odors from escaping the drain system. It is formulated to be long-lasting and biodegradable, contributing to a pleasant and hygienic environment.
Figure 1: Waterless 1101 1-Gallon BlueSeal Urinal Trap Liquid bottle. This image shows the white plastic gallon bottle with a blue and green label. The label prominently displays "BLUESEAL" and "WATERLESS" branding, along with "Trap Liquid for No-Flush™ Urinals" and "Net Contents: 1 Gallon (3.785 Liters)".
Key features of the BlueSeal Urinal Trap Liquid include its specific gravity, which is lower than water or urine, allowing it to remain in the trap for extended periods. It exhibits zero evaporation at 100°F and does not freeze above -70°F, making it suitable for various environmental conditions and potentially reducing winterization costs for facilities.
2. Safety Information
- Avoid contact with eyes and skin. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
- KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
- Do not ingest. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
3. Setup and Installation
The Waterless 1101 BlueSeal Urinal Trap Liquid is ready-to-use and requires no mixing or dilution. It is designed to be poured directly into the trap of a waterless urinal.
Procedure:
- Ensure the waterless urinal is clean and free of debris.
- Carefully pour the BlueSeal Urinal Trap Liquid into the urinal drain opening.
- Pour enough liquid to fill the trap, creating a visible seal. The exact amount may vary depending on the urinal model, but typically a few ounces are sufficient to establish the seal.
- Observe the liquid forming a barrier in the trap, which will prevent sewer gases and odors from entering the restroom.
For initial setup or after a long period of disuse, it may be necessary to add a slightly larger amount to ensure the trap is fully primed.
4. Operation
Once installed, the BlueSeal Urinal Trap Liquid operates passively by forming a liquid barrier within the urinal's trap. This barrier floats on top of any urine that enters the trap due to its lower specific gravity, effectively sealing off the drain and preventing unpleasant odors from escaping into the restroom environment.
The liquid's formulation ensures it remains stable and effective over time, even with regular use. Small amounts of the liquid are naturally carried out with each urinal use, necessitating periodic replenishment.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the continuous effectiveness of the BlueSeal Urinal Trap Liquid and to maintain an odor-free environment.
Replenishment:
- Monitor the level of the BlueSeal liquid in the urinal trap.
- Replenish the liquid as needed, typically when the liquid barrier appears low or if odors begin to become noticeable. The frequency of replenishment will depend on the usage volume of the urinal.
- Pour a sufficient amount to re-establish the liquid seal in the trap.
Cleaning:
Regular cleaning of the urinal fixture itself should be performed according to the urinal manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure that cleaning agents do not excessively dilute or remove the BlueSeal liquid from the trap. Gentle cleaning around the drain area is recommended.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Odors emanating from the urinal. | Insufficient BlueSeal liquid in the trap, allowing sewer gases to escape. | Add more Waterless BlueSeal Urinal Trap Liquid to replenish the seal. Ensure the trap is adequately filled. |
| Liquid dissipates too quickly. | Extremely high urinal usage, or potential issues with the urinal trap design allowing excessive liquid carry-out. | Increase the frequency of replenishment. Verify the urinal trap is functioning correctly and not allowing excessive liquid to be flushed away. |
| Liquid appears cloudy or discolored. | Accumulation of foreign substances or contaminants in the trap. | This is generally not an issue for performance. If concerned, the trap can be cleaned and refilled. |
