Waterless urinal The H2Zero™ waterless urinal uses no water for optimum performance and water conservation. Breakthrough technology addresses key challenges that are associated with waterless urinals, including performance, operation, odor management, durability and waste build-up. The Bio-Fresh deodorizing block within the cartridge is activated during use while the Bio Seal™ allows urine to pass through the seal freely, eliminating unnecessary waste build-up within the cartridge. Lasts up to 10,000 uses; seal also acts as a one-way airtight valve to seal the cartridge from the drainage system. Caroma. |

Hybrid heating system The Hybrid Heat™ dual fuel system is a fuel-saving alternative to traditional heating and cooling systems that combine a gas furnace with a heat pump, rather than an air conditioner. The heat pump works as an air conditioner in hot weather, but reverses the process and helps heat the home when cold weather arrives. Rather than burning fuel to generate heat, the heat pump moves heat without a flame, making it a more efficient method of heating a home. Some feature Puron® non-ozone-depleting refrigerant that will help homeowners prepare for the elimination of R-22 in 2010. Carrier Corporation. |

Prevent water theft With more droughts has come more water theft. The Hose Bibb Lock protects any standard 3/4" outdoor faucet or hose spigot. Its brass fitting assembly screws securely onto the end of any standard garden hose bibb, yard hydrant or vacuum breaker. A plated brass cover is placed over the fitting locked with a commercial padlock. Cover and padlock spin freely around the fitting so the lock can’t be removed.
