'''The Urine Diverting Flush Toilet (UDFT) is similar in appearance to a Cistern Flush Toilet except for the diversion in the bowl. The toilet bowl has two sections so that the urine can be separated from the faeces.'''
As with any toilet, proper cleaning is important to keep the bowl(s) clean and prevent organic residues and stains from forming. Because urine is collected separately, calcium- and magnesium-based minerals can precipitate out and build up in the fittings and pipes. Washing the bowl with a mild acid and/or hot water can prevent the build-up of mineral deposits; stronger (>24 % acetic) acid or a caustic soda solution (2 parts water to 1 part soda) can be used for removing blockages however, some manual removal may be required periodically. To limit scaling, all connections (pipes) to storage tanks should be kept as short as possible; whenever the Yexist, pipes should be installed with at least a 1 % slope and sharp (90°) angles should be avoided. Larger diameter pipes (75mm for low maintenance and 50mm for higher maintenance) should be used.
