As a park manager, you always look for ways to enhance the visitor experience while maintaining a clean and safe environment. One innovative solution that can help you achieve these goals is the installation of a smart, self-cleaning restroom. These state-of-the-art facilities offer numerous benefits that can transform your park's amenities and leave a lasting impression on your visitors.
Let's dive in.
A smart, self-cleaning restroom is a revolutionary concept in public sanitation. These restrooms come with advanced technology that automatically cleans, disinfects, and dries the toilets after each use. They also undergo periodic complete cleaning cycles to ensure a consistently hygienic environment.
The surfaces within these restrooms are coated with antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-graffiti protection, eliminating 99.99% of germs and viruses, including COVID-19. This provides your park visitors with a safe, healthy, and clean space. The protection on the surfaces lasts up to a year and can be reapplied.
One significant advantage of smart restrooms is their customizable nature. These facilities are 100% prefabricated and delivered as a turnkey solution, complete with a 12-inch concrete pad. You can tailor the exterior finish to match your park's aesthetic, while the interior features a vandal-proof design with durable, easy-to-clean materials.
Whether you need a single ADA-compliant unit, a double-sized restroom with an adult changing table, a storage unit, or park showers and lockers, there are many ways to configure these restrooms to meet your specific requirements.
Smart restrooms are designed with sustainability in mind. They significantly reduce water and energy consumption compared to traditional restrooms. Using controlled flush systems and low-flow cleaning cycles, these facilities can save up to 216,000 liters of water annually per unit, based on an estimated 2,000 users per month. Over 30 years, this equates to over 6 million liters of water saved.
Additionally, on-demand hot water systems eliminate the need for a hot water tank, minimizing energy losses and reducing long-term costs.

The self-cleaning technology in these smart restrooms ensures unparalleled cleanliness and hygiene. Through presence-detection technology, the toilet bowl is cleaned, disinfected, and dried after each use, and a full cleaning cycle is performed at your discretion (after 10 uses is the recommended minimum).
All surfaces are protected with an anti-graffiti coating, allowing for easy maintenance and power washing when needed. The antimicrobial and antiviral protection on the surfaces kills 99.99% of germs and viruses, offering your park visitors a safe and sanitary environment. The structure is also vandal-proof, with anti-ligature hooks, floors made of ultra-high-performance fiber concrete, and all structures bolted down.
Smart restrooms offer significant cost savings in terms of maintenance and supervision. Traditional restrooms often require daily on-site cleaning, locking, and maintenance visits, which can amount to $15,000 to $25,000 annually.
In contrast, smart restrooms feature remote monitoring capabilities, including facility opening and closing, cleaning cycles, and alerts, minimizing the need for frequent on-site visits. Over 20 years, this can result in substantial savings, with remote monitoring costing only $43,200 compared to $500,000 for daily on-site maintenance.
Installing a smart, self-cleaning restroom in your park can greatly enhance its appeal and visitor satisfaction. These modern facilities demonstrate your commitment to providing visitors with a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. The exterior can be customized entirely to your liking, allowing you to get creative with colors and designs.
The contactless use of flush and sink, coupled with the consistently hygienic conditions and appealing look, offers a pleasant and worry-free experience for park-goers. These innovative restrooms improve your park's amenities and create a lasting positive impression on locals and travelers.
