5. Setup and Installation

The Sloan WES-4000 is designed for wall-mounted installation. Due to the nature of plumbing and fixture installation, it is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional plumber to ensure proper function and compliance with local codes.

Key Installation Considerations:

• Drainage Connection: Although waterless, the urinal requires a connection to a waste drain line. Ensure the drain line is properly sized and vented according to plumbing codes.
• Mounting: Securely mount the urinal to a reinforced wall structure capable of supporting its weight (40 pounds) plus operational loads.
• No Water Supply: This urinal does not require a water supply line for flushing, simplifying installation in some respects but requiring careful attention to the drain.
• Cartridge Installation: The waterless cartridge must be correctly seated in the urinal's drain opening as per the separate cartridge instructions.

6. Operating Instructions

The Sloan WES-4000 Waterless Urinal operates passively without the need for manual flushing. Its design relies on gravity and the specialized waterless cartridge to manage waste.

How it Works:

• Liquid waste flows into the urinal bowl.
• It passes through the patented sealed cartridge, which contains a lighter-than-water sealant liquid.
• The sealant liquid creates a barrier, preventing odors from escaping the drain system.
• The waste then flows directly into the building's drainage system.
• No water is used for flushing, contributing to significant water savings.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your Sloan Waterless Urinal. The primary maintenance tasks involve cleaning and cartridge replacement.

Cleaning:

• Daily Cleaning: Wipe down the urinal bowl and exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that can damage the vitreous china finish or the cartridge.
• Odor Control: The cartridge is designed to prevent odors. If odors are detected, it may indicate a need for cartridge replacement or a cleaning of the drain line.

Cartridge Replacement:

• The waterless cartridge is a consumable item and requires periodic replacement. The frequency depends on usage and water quality.
• Refer to the specific instructions provided with your replacement cartridge for detailed removal and installation procedures.
• Always use genuine Sloan replacement cartridges to ensure proper function and warranty compliance.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Sloan Waterless Urinal, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Slow Drainage or Clogging: This often indicates a clogged cartridge or a blockage in the drain line. First, inspect and replace the cartridge if necessary. If the issue persists, a professional plumber may be needed to clear the drain line.
• Odors: Persistent odors usually point to a depleted or improperly installed cartridge. Ensure the cartridge is correctly seated and replace it if it has reached the end of its service life. Ensure the sealant liquid level is adequate.
• Leaking: Check all connections to the drain line for tightness. If the leak appears to be from the urinal body itself, contact Sloan customer support.

For issues not resolved by these steps, or for complex plumbing problems, contact a certified plumber or Sloan customer support.
