THE HARD TRUTH
Sealant must be replaced every 1,500 uses
Trap cartridges may get clogged from urine sediment

STEPS TO SUCCESS
Funding: Each waterless urinal can cost anywhere from $250-1000 per unit, so funding would be needed from the district.
Installing: It would take time to install all of the units and replacethe current urinals in the bathrooms. Depending on howbig of a priority this is, it could take anywhere from ayear to three years to phase out all the old urinals.

COSTS
The Falcon Brand’s most popular design, the F1000 costs about$500 each unit.
To replace four bathrooms in Aloha, each with 4urinals, it would cost $8000 altogether
The urinals would pay for themselves in a few yearswith the amount of water that they save
Sealant costs $60 per gallon, replace every 3-6months
Cartridges would need to be replaced a few timesa year, costing $50 ea.

CONTACTS AND PROCESS
Administrators would need to be contacted about funding
The janitors would need to determine if it’s plausible to replace the old new ones
See if pipes are compatible
If funded, they would need to be installed during the summer
