John Confrey, President and CEO“Together with a modular twist and adherence to leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED), our water-free urinal products support water conservation and deliver the utmost safety and cleanliness within commercial restrooms, day in and day out.”
“With the growing significance of sustainability, the plumbing market is actively working to minimize water consumption and decrease the volume rates used to flush urinals. What buildings need is a water-free urinal system that decreases water usage, saves energy, and improves restroom hygiene,” says John Confrey, president, and CEO of Falcon Water Technologies.
A best-in-class commercial restroom solutions provider, Falcon Water Technologies has been providing proven advance technology with continued innovation in this space for over twenty years.
Waterfree & Hybrid urinals use the least amount of water than any other urinals in this category, saving the maximum amount of water while offering a more hygienic system with easy maintenance. As the market leader in Waterfree & Hybrid urinal space, Falcon continues its innovation in the urinals space, with a new twist. Falcon is now able to convert most flush urinals into a water saving, more hygienic system.
Falcon’s focus on hygiene and safety was brought to light during COVID-19 when end-consumers were keen on installing more sanitized and cleaner restrooms in their commercial buildings. Recently, Falcon’s products have aided numerous commercial facilities in significantly reducing their water tariffs and enabled enhanced water conservation and hygiene. Today, Falcon is helping commercial facilities across the U.S. transform their conventionally waterintensive and unhygienic urinals into durable, sustainable, and user-friendly restrooms.
By introducing the Falcon Urinal Conversion System, the firm changes the frequency of flushing from a user-driven to a time-based methodology, increasing water savings dramatically without changing the existing urinal. The system’s side mount actuator is factory set to flush every two hours, reducing water usage instantly. In addition, the system utilizes Falcon’s RetroFit cartridge and Clean Ring that fits in the drain, maintaining clean drain lines and preventing odor. Also, being touch free and reducing flush plumes, the system is more hygienic than a regular flushing urinal. The Falcon Urinal Conversion System can be easily installed on any compatible flush urinal.
“Together with a modular twist and adherence to leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED), our water-free urinal products support water conservation and deliver the utmost safety and cleanliness within commercial restrooms, day in and day out,” adds Confrey.

Specializing in the production of water-free and water-efficient urinals and other water technologies, Falcon was founded more than 20 years ago with a vision of preserving the Earth's natural resources. Falcon now supplies its products to global brand partners in North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America.
The company's touch-free, water-free urinal represents about 90% of the company's sales. "As the water environment became more challenging, we were in the right spot to be ready for it," said Falcon President and CEO John Confrey.
Focused on the commercial building environment, Falcon also produces a hybrid urinal that reduces water use by 98%, Confrey said. The company also markets its Intellimix faucet and tap innovation, a touch-free device that delivers a pre-determined mix of soap and water that improves hygiene, eliminates mess, and reduces soap and water costs.
"We look forward to sharing Falcon's perspective on water-free technologies as PMI continues to help plumbing manufacturers innovate toward finding safe, responsible plumbing solutions to the world's water management challenges," said PMI CEO/Executive Director Kerry Stackpole.
Confrey said commercial customers have become more comfortable with installing water-free urinals as Falcon perfected its product's design to optimize drainline performance and prevent odor. In addition, customers need not install water supply lines to water-free urinals, as long as the lines are not required by code, reducing the infrastructure, he added.
According to Falcon's website, Falcon's water-free urinal bowls have five times less bacteria than flushing fixtures. Falcon's cartridges can be used with partners' vitreous bowls, making them water-free or more water-efficient. The company says its products have saved more than 20 billion gallons of water so far.
With more than half of its business occurring in the United States, Falcon manufactures its products in Michigan, near Grand Rapids, with its international headquarters in Los Angeles. The company's products have been installed at Dodgers Stadium, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Taj Mahal, London's Heathrow Airport, and Camp Nou football stadium in Barcelona.
With a professional background in the water heater industry, Confrey said he had heard of PMI and decided to have Falcon join the association for the networking opportunities and to keep up with legislative, regulatory and technical issues. "Relying on PMI, which is keeping up to speed with it and sharing information, is going to make that side of it much simpler for us," he stated.
Confrey looks forward to his and his team's PMI participation. "I signed myself up for all the committees to make sure I'm up to speed on exactly what goes on in each," he stated. "But once I get a better feel, then I'll be able to pick the right person from my team to help with each."
