Uratic Salt Buildup in Urinals
Uratic Salts or Uric Acid Salts can be a major headache for facility managers,
maintenance supervisors and plumbers. Rust, lime, scale and uratic salts quickly
line the urinal drain lines, which can cause drain clogs and foul odors.
Additionally, waterless urinals have dramatically increased the necessity for better
drain preservation. Some people have tried muriatic acid, but this is a very
dangerous chemical to handle and the fumes given off when mixed with urine
minerals is very strong! Additionally it will ruin your copper and metal pipes.

A simple maintenance program of applying Drain Strike on a regular basis (twice
monthly) will effectively remove uratic salts buildup in your lines. Removing the
scale, uratic salts and slime deposits will also eliminate the foul odors. Simply
add the pre-measured 4 ounce bottle of Drain Strike every other week to open
urinal drain lines and keep them flowing.
