I believe the fix for that is to chuck a bucket of water through it once in a while.
My reference for the opposition to the urinals from plumbers came from this Wired article, iirc.

- bagels 4y agoThat seems to make them no longer waterless though, doesn't it?
- sneak 4y agoWe already have a technological solution to this problem that obsoletes the manual process of carrying buckets of water to the washroom.
- lazide 4y agoHah, based on what is being said there, it's not so much plumbers, as the building code agencies and union head. (think Doctors vs American Medical Assoc.). Which hey, that I could believe they'd push back a bit. But the code issues got fixed, and they got installed in a lot of places. But they stink, and do have issues with crystallization of urine, and that's why I saw them ripped out after a year or two everywhere they got installed. Like Buckminster, conspiracy theories are a lot more palatable reason for why your idea got shot down than it just didn't work well in real life.
