INSTALLATION AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Remove the existing replaceable cartridge from the urinal. In some brands of “waterfree” urinals the existing replaceable cartridge has to turn counter clockwise about ¼ turn before it can be lifted out.

After the old replaceable cartridge has been removed, flush the urinal housing and sewer line with a bucket of warm water. It is recommended that the sewer lines be cleaned and/or snaked before installing the Eco Urinal Cartridge, especially if build up in the urinal housing is present due to possible past chemical reactions between the old cartridge sealant and urinal cleaners. Also clean the area where the Eco Cartridge gasket will make contact.

After the above steps have been completed, apply a food grade silicone or other rubber-safe lubricant to the gasket, and simply push the Eco Urinal Cartridge into the Urinal Housing. It does not have to be turned or locked. Wipe off any excess lubricant on the top.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE:

To keep the urinal, cartridge, and check valve working optimally, periodically remove the cartridge* and check for any deposits on the end of the check valve and drain line. To remove the cartridge, insert the handle, (included), or a medium screwdriver into tee handle holes. The best way to get the cartridge out is to insert the tool, lock it in place, then rock the cartridge side to side to break it loose. Remove the cartridge by turning the tool while pulling up. NOTE: If the cartridge is in tight, put some liquid calcium dissolver around the outside edge and tap with plastic hammer if needed. Let sit for a few minutes, then remove the cartridge by turning the tool while pulling up. Be careful not to core out the center holes. If any deposits are observed, run the valve under water while massaging the valve end (do not remove the rubber valve as you will be unable to attach it again). Any accumulated deposits should come right off the valve. Check to be sure the curl on the end of the valve is maintained and there is a good seal. Flush the urinal housing with water to ensure there is good drainage, then re-install the cartridge making sure to apply a rubber-safe lubricant to the gasket.

Flush the drain lines with a bucket of water (2-3 gal.) once a month by pouring water directly into the urinal without removing the cartridge. Flushing the cartridge with water will not harm the check valve, but be cognizant of hard water deposits in the water, which can cause build-up. Be careful not to use urinal cakes, which can discolor the cartridge top over time and void the warranty.
