The Falcon Waterfree urinal involves a vitreous china or acrylic fixture and a patented, replaceable cartridge that is installed at the bottom of the urinal into a fitting that is connected to a drainpipe. Installation is simple and typically takes less time than for a flush urinal with valve assembly

1. Urine flows down into the patented vertical EcoTrap drain insert.
2. In the waterless EcoTrap the urine passes through a floating layer of BlueSeal liquid, which forms a barrier that prevents sewer vapors from escaping to the rest room atmosphere.
3. Urine under the barrier layer overflows into the central tube and runs down to the conventional drain line.
