Bio Blocks to save our precious water

I had been to PVR cinema to watch a movie and I went to washroom for urinals, there I observer written note above the urinals with heading as Bio Blocks. I got curios to complete the whole paragraph written about how they are saving water! So I thought I should share it with all to spread the awareness to maximize the usage.

Imagine a situation where we use 101,000 litres of water per urinal per year. Flushing once takes normally 3 to 4 litres of water. If each person has to use the urinal three times a day, water usage is approximately 12 litres per person per day. If 25 people use a urinal for a year, the estimated freshwater usage is 101,000 litres per year.

Biological (Bio) Urinal Blocks have been specially formulated by using selected strains of bacteria specifically chosen for their ability to work in a chosen area to reduce odour problems and blockages in urinals and to be less environmentally damaging than conventional pDCB Urinal Blocks (Pineapple Chunks). Each Bio Block also contains powerful biological cleaning agents, which are proven to maintain clear, odour free, urinal traps and pipe work. 


Microbes in the bio blocks digest organic urine crystals rapidly, thereby keeping urinal drain lines running freely. We can save tons of water using these soluble bio urinal blocks by eliminating urinal flushing.

Bio Blocks

This cleaner contains micro-organisms and free enzymes that produce an enzymatic activity to degrade organic matter and uric salts, and acts as a bacterial booster to bio blocks. It works by degrading organic soiling to completely eradicate stains and odours. Its utility is visible on porous washroom surfaces such as flooring materials and tile grouting, and especially around urinals and toilets where soiling has been absorbed below the surface. It removes calcium deposits on toilet bowls, sinks, showers, taps and fittings.

pDCB Urinals Blocks

Because Bio Blocks do not contain Para dichlorobenzene they are safer to use and store than conventional pDCB blocks. Unlike traditional urinal blocks, bio blocks do not contain pDCB, recognized as being both carcinogenic and a water-pollutant. Bio Blocks are suitable for use in all types of urinals, stainless steel, porcelain and ceramic troughs. Besides, the bacteria contained in this product are non-pathogenic and are on the US TSCA inventory and Canadian DSL lists. Bio Blocks should be used in toilets & washrooms with a history of odour problems and slow running outlets as they will improve flow rates and reduce the odours.

It is not only cost-efficient but also saves money by reducing the frequency of urinal flushing because they dispense cleaning agents and enzymes into the pipelines each time the urinal is used or flushed. They are perfumed to provide a pleasant fragrance in the washroom. So I ask all to put the step forward to use this to save water efficiently. I would be happy to know whether this article is useful to reader and like to get any suggestions.
