Weaknesses with low-flow WMS urinals
Blockages: In some low-flow WMS urinals, water and urine combines to cause blockages in as little as 2-3 months when compared to standard flow or non-water-based systems.
Ongoing maintenance: A low-flow system requires continuous review to ensure the power supply is working and all flush restricting solenoids are fully operational.
Public liability: In cases where blockages occur, water will continue to flow over the bowl onto the floor until remedial action is taken, raising the risk of slips and trips for users.
