30 Mar Model 9100: A New Approach to Waterless & Hybrid Urinal Design
For more than two decades, WhiffAway Group has focused on identifying common washroom challenges and developing innovative solutions that respond directly to customer needs. This approach is underpinned by a strong portfolio of disruptive technology and intellectual property, with over 40 patents and registered designs supporting continuous product development. The launch of the Model 9100 represents the next step in this journey, bringing together design heritage, operational flexibility, and sustainability in a modern waterless & hybrid urinal solution.
As global leaders in waterless urinal technology, WhiffAway continues to challenge conventional thinking around washroom design. Increasing expectations around hygiene, operational efficiency, sustainability, access, and privacy are reshaping how commercial washrooms are planned and managed, particularly in hospitality and high-traffic environments. The Model 9100 has been developed with these evolving requirements in mind.
Responding to Modern Washroom Demands
Commercial washrooms today are expected to deliver more than basic functionality. They must operate efficiently over long life cycles, support improved hygiene outcomes, and contribute to broader sustainability goals. In many environments, facilities teams also require flexibility in operation to suit site-specific needs.
The Model 9100 has been designed to function as both a waterless and hybrid solution, allowing it to adapt depending on client requirements. This flexible approach reflects a broader shift toward urinal systems that can accommodate varying operational and maintenance strategies without compromising performance or user experience.
By building on WhiffAway’s established expertise in waterless urinal innovation, the Model 9100 supports facilities seeking to balance water conservation with practical, real-world washroom management.
Design Heritage with Purpose
Adopting a heritage look and feel, the Model 9100 integrates WhiffAway’s latest BioShield Technology while maintaining a design language that aligns with long-standing principles of usability and durability. This combination of familiar form and advanced technology helps ensure the urinal fits seamlessly into both new installations and refurbishment projects.
Design considerations extend beyond aesthetics. Built-in privacy, mitigation against splash, and provision for access during maintenance have been incorporated to address everyday operational challenges. These features support a cleaner, more comfortable washroom environment while also simplifying servicing requirements for maintenance teams.
The result is an urinal model that prioritises both user experience and long-term operational efficiency without unnecessary complexity.
Supporting Hygiene and Operational Efficiency
Hygiene remains a central concern in washroom environments, particularly where usage is high. The Model 9100 has been developed to enhance hygiene outcomes through thoughtful design choices that reduce splash and support effective cleaning regimes.
Operational efficiency is equally important. Access for ongoing maintenance has been considered from the outset, recognising the practical needs of facilities teams responsible for long-term performance. By reducing disruption during servicing and supporting predictable maintenance cycles, the Model 9100 contributes to more efficient washroom management overall.
When used alongside complementary technologies such as urinal screens, these design principles help address common urinal challenges while maintaining consistent performance over time.
Sustainability Beyond Water Saving
Water conservation remains a key driver behind the adoption of waterless urinal solutions, but sustainability extends further than reduced water use alone. The Model 9100 supports broader sustainability objectives by helping facilities lower operational demands, reduce servicing frequency, and manage product life cycles more effectively.
By saving water, reducing maintenance requirements, and supporting long-term durability, the Model 9100 contributes to reductions in embedded carbon and overall resource consumption. These benefits align with growing expectations around responsible washroom design and environmental performance.
Facilities exploring sustainable washroom strategies can also benefit from understanding WhiffAway’s wider waterless urinal technology, which provides the foundation for waterless and hybrid solutions like the Model 9100.
Integrating into Commercial Washroom Systems
The Model 9100 has been developed as part of a broader washroom ecosystem. Its design allows it to integrate effectively with existing urinal systems, supporting consistency across commercial washroom installations. This is particularly valuable for organisations managing multiple sites or large-scale facilities.
Compatibility with established urinal bowls and washroom layouts ensures the Model 9100 can be specified with confidence across a range of environments.
Waterless & Hybrid Urinal Design, Reimagined
The launch of the Model 9100 reflects WhiffAway’s continued focus on innovation that is grounded in real-world application. By combining hybrid functionality, thoughtful design, and proven waterless urinal expertise, the Model 9100 addresses common washroom challenges while supporting sustainability, hygiene, and operational efficiency.
As expectations around commercial washroom performance continue to evolve, solutions such as the Model 9100 demonstrate how considered design and adaptable urinal systems can deliver long-term value for both users and facilities teams.
