IPtoilet^® is a maintainable public toilet which has self-cleaning mechanisms. It saves the cost of operation and maintenance of public toilets by almost 90 percent by employing new public toilet servicing methods. Pay-per-use public toilets are effective only at places where there is heavy flow of people like markets, railway stations and bus stands. But highways and city outskirts are the places where public toilets are most required. But it is not possible to maintain these toilets with pay-per use methods as there will not be many users all the time. Here IPtoilet with its unique self cleaning mechanism, vandal proof design, luxurious interiors, high level of hygiene and low operational cost become effective.

Considering the cost of total ownership within 5 years' service cost of a Public Toilet, 70% of the cost will be its operational cost. Without proper maintenance, public toilets are useless and a health hazard to the public. But requirements for public toilets are increasing exponentially with the economic development and resulting urbanization and floating population. The highways, malls, airports, railway stations, general hospitals, stadiums, prepaid taxi counters, camping and training sites, tourist places, military camps, construction sites and public offices require IPtoilet^®. Altersoft will provide toilet units with lifetime service and maintenance. It will have online software to manage them and mobile apps for the public to find and track installed and operating toilets. The intelligent public toilet was designed keeping in mind of a specific group of users for whom safe and hygienic sanitation is important like women, on-site workers, city commuters, travelers, campers, etc. IPtoilet^® has electronic sensors to keep its hygiene even with improper usage of occupants. It keeps minimum water per usage compared with normal toilets. It is basically designed to have a clean and unattended public convenience facility. Daily one time attended cleaning also is a part of its service policy.

Altersoft developed web based software to monitor its status which ensures proper service of each unit during its service time. IPtoilet^® is portable and with variant models to help men, women and disabled. Women friendly IPtoilet^® will have women-friendly features such as napkin vending machine, incinerator to destroy used napkins, baby stations for changing diapers and the like. IPtoilet^® has automatic sensor taps and dustbins. Fans and lights will start functioning once the door is opened. There will be a water tank inside the toilet and the door will be opened only if the tank has enough water. The floor cleaner will function automatically after four to ten visits. There is automatic pre-flush when a person enters inside. It has power and water backup for its users in case of sudden power outage or water discontinuation. However before the backup depletes the toilet will be disabled for any new entry unless the power and water supply resumes. Coins can be used in public places; either smartcards or button press can be provided to operate these IPtoilet^® for schools, colleges and government offices who have a closed user group

List of Accessories

Automated Toilet Units:

Altersoft's Automated public toilet facilities provide an automated wash down system that washes the unit down with water sprays after a preset number of uses before becoming available for the next user. This system can reduce the number of cleaning visits and provides a safer and more pleasant environment for users. The Automated system also has electric door operation and can be set to lock the units up at night and open again at a preset time in the morning eliminating the need for security personnel. Automated units include a unique recessed sensor operated wash basin unit that includes touch free water. Voice messages and clear signage are also provided to assist users. With the Automated system, a large amount of statistical data is available and is also capable of being connected to a web based remote monitoring system.

Quality of the materials, components and operating systems for all of the IPtoilet^® facilities is a paramount consideration for the whole Altersoft team so any IPtoilet^® product, regardless of the level of amenity included, is constructed with the same quality and attention to detail that sets the standard for Altersoft product.

Safety:

Safety of IPtoilet^® users is of paramount importance to Altersoft and this is particularly important in regard to the electronic systems in automated IPtoilet^® facilities. With 5 years' experience, Altersoft has developed an operating system that is both secure for users to ensure that they will not be disturbed during the use of the facility and also safe in the event that they become incapacitated whilst using the facility.

Easy To Use:

All IPtoilet^® facilities are designed to be easy to use for all members of the community with clear written instructions and voice messages to assist people to get the most from their intelligent public toilet experience.

Reliability:

With IPtoilet^® facilities often being installed in very remote locations where skilled technicians may be difficult to find, Altersoft have specifically designed their product with the minimum of moving parts and with systems that can be easily repaired by the local plumber or electrician to ensure that all IPtoilet^® units are consistently reliable over their entire life cycle.

Vandal Resistance:

All IPtoilet^® units are made with materials that we have found to be particularly resistant to vandalism and graffiti. Ensuring that the units remain in good condition over the long term is an integral part in ensuring that the units are not vandalised or defaced and can provide an excellent service for the wider community.

Easy Installation Process:

Altersoft and its distributors are able to meet customer requirements from simply supplying the toilet facility directly to the site or depot or they can offer a full supply and installation service for the IPtoilet^® facilities. These services can include the following:

Site Plans:

Altersoft can provide site plans for the location of the toilet facility including the relationship to boundaries, roads and the position of services. This plan can be incorporated as part of the building consent information for the particular site.

Building Consent Details:

Altersoft will normally provide a set of building consent drawings which includes floor plans, elevations, sections, foundations and services plans along with engineering calculations and producer statements for the structure.

Site Works:

Once consent is approved, Altersoft will normally be able to undertake all the site works including securing the site with security fencing and arranging the site clearance and excavation of the surface.

Foundation:

Altersoft will excavate the foundations, place the formwork and reinforcing steel and pour the foundations prior to the delivery of the unit.

Service Installation:

Altersoft will normally arrange for subcontractors to run all the service connections from the various service supply or discharge points through to the point where the toilet will be located and terminate them just short of the facility.

Transport and Craneage:

Altersoft will normally arrange for the toilet unit to be transported to the site and for a suitable sized crane to be available to lift the toilet unit into its final position ensuring that it is plumb and level while the crane is on site.

Toilet Installation:

Once the toilet is down on the foundations, it can be secured to the foundations as required. Great care has to be taken to ensure that the foundations are at the correct level to allow the paving to fall away from the entrance eliminating ponding or flooding inside the cubicle. The gradient of any paving to the unit is of critical importance for disabled users.

Connection of Services:

Once the toilet unit is in position, Altersoft will trench back under the unit to connect the services from the service hole in the service area through to the services just outside the toilet unit. It is important that there are no stub ups of services in position prior to the unit's arrival because it is impossible to get these to align correctly with the facility. It is more important that the services are only connected to the toilet unit once the toilet is in position on its foundations.

Paving:

Altersoft will normally provide and install the paving around the toilet facility to match in with the surrounding environment as required by the designers.

Landscaping

Altersoft and its distributors would not normally become involved in extensive landscaping but minor grass planting and other site work like seats, drinking fountains, shelters and planters can be incorporated into the work required.

Commissioning

Altersoft will normally send an experienced representative to the site once all services are connected and operational to commission the toilet unit and hand it over to the customer.

Ongoing Support:

Altersoft and their distributors will provide comprehensive ongoing support to the owner and can offer a range of different levels of service as required to ensure that the product remains in good condition over the life cycle.
