Abstract

A diverter ( 170, 270 ) atop the upper wall ( 110 ) of a cartridge ( 100 ) and over the opening ( 114, 115 ) therein avoids direct access of urine to the opening and the sealant ( 105 ) within the cartridge. The diverter is spaced by standoffs ( 182, 282 ) from the upper wall to provide a urine flow passage. A float ( 274 ) can be incorporated in the diverter to provide a visible signal of the presence of collected urine on the cartridge upper wall. A pre-treatment chemically-constituted tablet ( 210 ) held by a retainer ( 200 ) in the diverter provides sanitizing and/or deodorizing means. Post-treatment chemically-constituted tablets ( 224 a) or pellets ( 224 b) placeable at the outlet of the cartridge protect the drain pipe from corrosion and other harm.
