Why is nearly waterless better than waterless?

Whilst waterless systems may save money on water bills initially, the inevitable build up of uric acid and bacteria can be a very expensive problem to fix. The naturally occurring solids in urea, left unchecked, will, over time, form a cake-like substance, which will narrow the flow within the drainpipe. Rather like cholesterol hardening in human arteries causing restricted blood flow, with no water or treatments used to break buildup down, blockages and malodour become a frequent problem. ecobug® manages this buildup by breaking it down, allowing a reduced flush cycle to move it down the pipework to the stack and safely away. © 2013
