TECHNOLOGY

Smart Urinal Technology, and beyond.

Developed alongside a leading UK university, our patented valve removes urinal flush water completely. Patented Flow Regulation Technology and retrofits for taps, WCs, showers and kitchens cover the rest of the building.

  • 4xfaster flow through the valve
  • 130+existing patents analysed during development
  • 100%recyclable valves, made in Britain

INSIDE THE VALVE

What makes it different

Patent GB2586614. Combining urine chemistry, microbiology and computational flow dynamics to solve the problems that held back earlier urinal technology.

  1. 01Vortex ringHelical geometry accelerates flow through the valve by up to 4x.
  2. 02Integrated airflowUses air to push liquid through at speed, balancing pressure between washroom and pipework so flow is never compromised.
  3. 03Surface formulationA patented formulation breaks down urine and ammonia at the point of entry, neutralising odours.
  4. 04Cradle podA patented pod formulation coats and protects pipework from blockages.
  5. 05Multiple seal systemMultiple one-way seals stop backflow and odour.
  6. 06pH neutralWhat leaves the valve is pH neutral.

THE VALVE RANGE

A valve for every urinal and trough

We retrofit urinals and troughs of all types. Where a bowl or trough needs replacing, we supply our own range of 100% recyclable urinals and troughs.

  • Visual change indicator in the vortex ring
  • Valve life of three to six months, depending on use
  • Touch-free change-out key
  • Used valves collected and recycled
  • Own-branding options

IN THE WASHROOM

No flush water. No odours. No blockages.

  • Eliminates flush water

    Urinals use no flush water at all, cutting water and wastewater bills, and carbon.

  • No odours

    Multiple seals and a patented formulation stop odours at the source.

  • Eliminates blockages

    Flow is accelerated through the valve and pipework is protected from build-up.

  • Improved infection control

    No flush, no standing water and touch-free valve changes.

  • Better water pressure

    Taking flush demand off the main frees capacity for the rest of the site.

  • Legionella risk removed on the urinal supply

    Along with the redundant pipework that fed it.

BEYOND THE URINAL

Every water-using fixture made efficient

Urinals are where our patented technology started, and where most sites still make their biggest saving. The Fit stage now covers every outlet and the plant behind it, all at no upfront cost on Smarti Care+.

  • Patented Flow Regulation Technology

    Keeps flow and pressure in check across the site, so it uses only the water it needs.

  • WCs and taps

    Retrofits that cut the water used by WC cisterns and taps, so the whole washroom uses less.

  • Showers, kitchens and plant

    Flow and fixture retrofits for showers, kitchens, back of house and the plant behind them.

INSTALLATION AND CARE

Fitted properly. Easy to look after.

Smarti Academy-certified operatives convert your existing urinals and troughs, with pipework upgrades included on Smarti Care+ and every installation evidenced with post-install CCTV. After that, daily cleaning takes seconds.

  • Fitted by Smarti Academy-certified operatives
  • Pipework upgrades included on Smarti Care+
  • Post-install CCTV evidence
  • Wipe, spray, walk away with Steri-Kleen: no water, and never bleach
  • Serviced at an agreed frequency

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Science first, and still improving

  • Gen2 valve

    Our next-generation valve is in development, supported by Innovate UK.

  • A leading UK university

    Our flow technology was developed with academic partners and tested under real-world conditions.

  • 130+ patents analysed

    Before filing, we reviewed more than 130 existing patents. Smart Urinal Technology is protected by patent GB2586614.

  • 10+ years in the market

    More than a decade in commercial washrooms, with our patented system proven in the field.
