Technically all the mentioned brands work on same principle of "Differential density of fluids" . But what makes INVENTION stand above all is the patented design of ‘AQUALOCK' , which makes INVENTION functioning perfect ace in terms of Sustainablity, Design, Utility .
FALCON, HINDWARE & PARRYWARE ROCA | EKKAM- Waterless Systems. | AQVANO-Waterless Solutions. | |

1 CARTRIDGE | |||
A. Capacity | Less than 1l. | NO-CARTRIDGE -Ball Technology | NO-CARTRIDGE Flush plug technology. |
Since cartridge capacity is very small, (a) change of costly cartridges is required very frequently. (b), since the capacity is very small thin layer of barrier fluid is inefficient to stop odour. |
Ekkam Zerodor works on floating ball principle. Both ball and tube surface are prone to gather urates / urine crystals thereby making vertical movement of ball hindered. This results in odor from piping and chamber system. |
AQVANO is cartridge free but surface area of AQVALOCK is apt . So thick layer of barrier fluid aprox. 2.25 cm and peculiar by design makes 100% odourfree. |

B. Cost |
Rs.3000 X 4 times per year = Rs.12000/Year |
No-Cartridge No-Cost. |
No-Cartridge No-Cost. |
C. Replacment Cycle |
Maximum 7000 uses |
No-replacements. |
No-replacements. |
D. Carbon Footprint |
Not Eco-friendly |
Almost Zero-Carbon footprint |
Almost Zero-Carbon footprint |
Since cartridge is made of plastic material and is required to be changed frequently it leaves Carbon Footprints every time it is replaced. |
No-replacements so no Carbon Footprints. |
No-replacements so no Carbon Footprints. |
|
E |
Disposal paradoxInconvenient & Non-Eco-friendly |
No-Cartridge |
No-Cartridge |
Since cartridge is made of plastic, which is non-degradable waste and is filled with urine residues and sealant that are biodegradable, disposal of the cartridge leads to Disposal paradox. |
Since ball and tube surface gather urates it needs to be replaced sparsely |
Since Aqvano has inbuilt waterlock there is no need to dispose or replace |
|
2 Sealant refilling. | |||
A. Refilling Cycle |
Very Frequently |
Couple of times in a year. |
Once a year.(After 20-25 thousand uses) |
Since everytime cartridge is changed sealant is tobe refilled. |
|||
B. Cost |
Rs.700X4 times a year = Rs.2800/- |
Couple of times in a year. |
Rs.1500/bottle once a year. |
C. Technical details |
No-Information |
Density <.92 and works in extreme climates varying from -20 degree celcius. |

3 Functioning & Features |
|||
A. Odour |
Average to Foul |
Average to Foul |
100% odourfree |
Since (a) Layer of the barrier fluid is very thin due to its capacity,unwated flushing occurs (b) the space between pan and the cartridge creates a crevice for the urine to get collected and gives out stenchy foul smell. |
Due to its superior patented AQVALOCK design, (a) there is no place for urine to get collected, (b) capacity of the cartridge is big so the layer of the AQVALOCK sealant is thickest as compared to any other sealant based urinals. |
||
B. Hygiene |
Unhygienic |
Unhygienic |
100% Hygienic |
Spaces between cartridges and pan turn out to be breeding paradise for bacteria and other pathogens. So, |
Tube in which ball is put tends to collect urine there by rendering it tobe unhygenic. |
No-spaces so no place for bacteria to breed, so washrooms are completely Hygienic. |
