Frequent Ask Questions
URIZAP
What is URIZAP?
URIZAPis a powder-based, microbial solution that digests uric acid, removing the cause of urinal blockages and odours. This product is available in a 1kg pouch, which contains 40 doses.
Where can URIZAP be used?
URIZAP is used in any type of urinal: waterless urinals, flushing urinals and troughs. It breaks down uric acid, therefore, removing the issues of blockages and odours. Regular use of URIZAP maintains a free-flowing, odourless urinal and prevents the recurrence of issues.
How does URIZAP work?
Each scoop of URIZAP contains billions of beneficial bacteria that naturally break down uric acid forming in the pipework.
What is uric acid?
Uric acid is contained in urine and reacts with other minerals in water (e.g., limescale, struvite) and proteins to form uric scale deposits. By digesting uric acid, the deposits of uric scale that cause blockages and odour are eliminated.
How do I know how much product I need to purchase?
Each 2kg tub contains 80 scoops of product. For the first four weeks (shock phase), each urinal needs to be double-dosed, twice a week to allow the bacteria to colonise the pipes and get to work. After that, you move onto a maintenance phase which requires one scoop per urinal, per week. One tub is sufficient to service 4 urinals for six weeks.
How do I use URIZAP?
URIZAP is simple to administer, all you do is pour one scoop, followed by some cold water down the drain to wake up the bacteria and allow them to get to work. Check out this video that shows you how to use URIZAP.
Can URIZAP be used in toilets?
URIZAP can only be used in urinals, but we have designed SLUDGEZAP to remove blockages and build-up in toilets and other drains.
What products should I use alongside URIZAP?
Avoid pouring any chemicals in any of the urinals that are being treated with URIZAP. The surfaces of the urinals can be cleaned with any washroom product but we suggest bio-based and eco-friendly products that do not contain biocides or hazardous chemicals for aquatic life. The best compatibility is to use URIZAP along with our washroom products, Deodoriser & Descaler, All Purpose Cleaner and Toilet Cleaner - found here https://abseco.com.au/solutions/ . It also works well with SLUDGEZAP which digests organic build-up impacting toilets, sinks, showers and baths.
How quickly will I see results?
It depends on your blockage, but most customers notice a drastic decrease in smell within two weeks and a significant decrease in the build-up by week four. By six weeks blockages are virtually gone and regular use of URIZAP ensures it remains this way.
What are the benefits of using URIZAP?
There are numerous benefits to using URIZAP. These include reducing the amount of flushing, no use of hazardous chemicals, saving money on repairs and reducing CO2. See the full list here.
Bacteria
What is a bacteria?
Bacteria are living microorganisms that exist almost everywhere on Earth! They only contain one cell and are vital to our global ecosystem. Some live in extreme conditions of pH, temperature and pressure. Our bodies are full of bacteria.
What is the difference between enzymes and bacteria?
Bacteria are living organisms that produce non-living proteins known as enzymes, which break down waste into smaller pieces. After they've finished their work, they die. Bacteria, on the other hand, live longer, continuing to multiply and produce more enzymes.
What is the difference between good bacteria and bad bacteria?
Bacteria produce a diverse range of effects depending on what they require to do to survive. Most of these bacteria are harmless to humans and animals, in fact, they’re beneficial helping to solve problems (like the ones used in our products, or helping us digest food. However, there are a small number of species of bacteria that can cause diseases such as Escherichia coli and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB).
Is this product safe for me to use?
Yes, all of our products contain non-pathogenic bacteria (good bacteria), which are non-toxic and safe for daily use. Better still, our products are not tested on animals and are not harmful to animals and aquatic life.
What happens when it gets in contact with food?
We recommend avoiding contact with food. If this happens, any small amount of product digested should NOT cause a negative effect on human health. However, if possible, wash thoroughly or do not consume, since the taste will be altered by the substances in our products.
Why is bacteria an effective solution?
Bacteria used in ABS’ products occur naturally and tackle specific problems as they will use the waste we produce to feed themselves and grow and live. ABS’ bacteria will specifically consume only the substance we aim the product to be used for and they can continuously work 24/7 for you, making it more effective than traditional solutions that require continuous top-ups.
It's an environmentally friendly solution that helps business further their sustainability initiatives. Our products regenerate natural systems, helping to restore and protect ecosystems.
