Is Pi-Pi suitable for holiday plots and garden houses?
Yes. Pi-Pi operates without a connection to water supply and sewage, making it suitable for holiday plots, garden houses, and other structures without centralized plumbing across Europe.
Technical setup:
- waterless design — no flushing required
- step drainage Ø24/32/40 mm directed into a canister, storage tank, or composting reservoir on the plot
- urine is collected separately and used as fertilizer diluted 1:10 or removed from the site
Compliance with national regulations. European plumbing rules in non-sewered areas vary in form but agree on one point: direct discharge of liquid waste into the ground is prohibited. Pi-Pi collects urine in a sealed container, thus meeting requirements, including:
- Germany — § 3 Abs. 2 BKleingG (Kleingarten / Schrebergarten)
- Austria — federal states' building codes
- Netherlands — regulations for volkstuinen
- United Kingdom — Allotments Act
- Scandinavia — koloniträdgård / kolonihave regulations
- other EU countries — similar local rules
Pi-Pi is also compatible with separate collection composting toilets (Trelino, BOXIO, Kildwick). Specific local regulation quotes and installation instructions are available upon request via the contact form.

Industry standards for urinals in toilet cabins on sites (OSHA/EU norms):
- 1–15 workers: 1 urinal
- 16–35 workers: 2 urinals
- 36–55 workers: 3 urinals
- 56–80 workers: 4 urinals
- 81–110 workers: 5 urinals
- 111–150 workers: 6 urinals
For sites with 200+ workers, the ratio becomes 1 urinal per 40 people. Add handwashing sinks (1 for every 2–3 urinals).
Example: A site with 50 people requires a minimum of 3 urinals. For projects lasting 8–12 months, budget for 1–2 spare units for rotation during maintenance.
For portable toilet rental companies serving events and festivals, construction site urinals and standalone urinal units are a valuable addition that reduces queues and improves customer satisfaction:
Event sanitation standards:
- Festivals and sports events: 1 urinal per 40 men (minimum 3 units)
- Corporate events: 1 urinal per 50 men (minimum 2 units)
- With alcohol present: add 20% to the calculated quantity
- Multi-day festivals: add 20% for nighttime events
A minimum of 2-3 units ensures no queues and a reserve during maintenance.
Benefits for rental operators:
- Urinals serve 4-5 times more users per hour than toilet cabins — fewer complaints about queues
- Lower maintenance costs — waterless operation requires less frequent tank emptying
- Premium pricing — organizers pay more for enhanced sanitation solutions
- Compact storage — lightweight units are easy to store between events
Example: A concert with 2000 attendees (50/50 gender split, 6 hours, with alcohol) requires approximately 30 urinals. Place units near stages, bars, and high-traffic areas.

One Pi-Pi urinal withstands 300–500+ full rental cycles depending on operating conditions. This corresponds to 7–10 years of commercial use in a rental fleet.
What determines the lifespan:
- storage conditions between rentals (open storage vs warehouse) — UV exposure affects surface degradation speed
- cleaning protocols — concentrated chlorine disinfectants accelerate surface aging; neutral agents and pH 9–11 extend lifespan
- transport load — Pi-Pi bends due to LLDPE, does not crack, but repeated impacts during loading still reduce lifespan
- winter outdoor storage — LLDPE remains flexible at −30°C, but full freeze/thaw cycles with water residues increase wear on the stepped outlet connector
For comparison: a typical polypropylene urinal withstands 100–200 cycles and averages 3–5 years in a rental fleet. More on TCO calculation for rental business — in the FAQ “Urinal Rental ROI”.
