Atlanta Area Businesses Aid the Environment
as They Stop Flushing Money Down the Drain

Water-Free Urinals Installed by Mr. Handyman
Provide both Economic and Environmental Benefits

ATLANTA, GA -- October 22, 2003 -- Mr. Handyman® of Atlanta, the leading local provider of home and commercial maintenance, repair, and installation services announces the addition of revolutionary new water-free urinal technology to their extensive range of commercial products and services. Area businesses that have installed these innovative new units in their facilities report significant cost savings and cleaner wash room environments.

Even though the long-term drought that plagued Georgia since 1988 has finally ended, water conservation efforts are still important due to continuing population growth and limited water resources in the state. With comparatively high water costs, Atlanta-area businesses are finding that it makes good business sense to take advantage of new strategies that promote water conservation because they benefit both the bottom line and the environment.

On average, the greatest use of water in commercial/industrial facilities is for 'domestic' purposes - primarily toilets and lavatories, which account for 40% of consumption. Federal requirements have mandated low-consumption toilets (1.6 gal/flush) and urinals (1 gal/flush) in new construction since 1992. However, one standard flush urinal can still use up to 40,000 gallons of water per year. Now, an innovative new water-free urinal technology, developed and manufactured by Falcon Waterfree Technologies™ of Los Angeles, CA, is available for installation in local businesses through Mr. Handyman of Atlanta.

Already in use in many corporations, schools, arenas/stadiums, government facilities, parks and recreation areas around the nation, these revolutionary units require no water supply or flush valve plumbing. This provides savings on initial costs of purchase and installation, water and sewer expense, and reduced maintenance. They are available for both new construction and as a retrofit to existing urinals, and drain to a standard waste line. The Falcon Waterfree Technologies urinal uses a recyclable cartridge that contains a special biodegradable liquid that forms a barrier within the cartridge that eliminates all unpleasant odors and filters out sediment, resulting in reduced drain blockage. The replacement of the cartridge is quick and easy, and the bowl cleans up in seconds. This non-mechanical design results in a sanitary touch-free operation and cleaner, environmentally-friendly wash rooms.

One area business that replaced existing urinals with the Falcon Waterfree Technologies urinals is Fadó Irish Pub in Buckhead. "With the cost of water increasing more each year, we are always on the lookout for ways to reduce consumption. Our traditional urinals were not only using lots of water, they were requiring far too much time and money in repair and maintenance", stated Eric Peterson, General Manager of the upscale pub and eatery located at 3035 Peachtree Road. "When Mr. Handyman presented the water-free units as a cost-effective alternative, we saw them not only as a way to save big money, but as a means of raising the level of the overall experience that we provide for our clientele. We constantly strive to stay ahead of the curve in the food and beverage industry, and the new water-free urinals are being well-received by our patrons. Many of our customers have commented on them, and ask how they can work without water. When we tell them that they save 80-100,000 gallons of water a year, they give us a big thumbs-up."

"We serve about 5,000 customers weekly, with men accounting for roughly 60% of the total. This means that our men's rooms see heavy traffic. Prior to installing the new units, we were experiencing lots of water leakage and odor problems that contributed to turning the men's room into an eyesore. In three hours, Mr. Handyman changed all that. They helped us create a much more aesthetically pleasing environment that now contributes to the image of our business. It is terrific when we can find such a win-win scenario - good for business and good for the environment. In this case, we most certainly know that we are part of the solution rather than the problem."

Other businesses that have installed the Falcon Waterfree Technologies urinals include Global Imports BMW, IBM, and Ford Motor Company. This innovative technology can also be found at Disneyworld, Sea World, Six Flags (Administration Building), Pro Player Stadium, the Rose Bowl, and numerous municipal, county, state, and federal government facilities.
