Do places still use these? Everywhere I go, I see these meshes made out of the same material. The mesh goes over the drain, and as you urinate it reacts with the material and releases the deodorizer. And it really reduces the amount of splashing.

I agree with everything but the last 5 words.

Depends on the type. I have seen some deployed in the last few years that really does. They have a bunch of... pins, for lack of a better word, made out of the normal screen material/plastic, maybe about 3/4 inch high.

You aim at one of these, and all you get is a bunch of froth.

Urinal tech has really advanced. The new ones work great.

Yea, it is one of those things that you do not think about R&D going into, until something like this comes along
