Abstract
A diverter () atop the upper wall () of a cartridge () and over the opening () therein avoids direct access of urine to the opening and the sealant () within the cartridge. The diverter is spaced by standoffs () from the upper wall to provide a urine flow passage. A float () 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 () held by a retainer () in the diverter provides sanitizing and/or deodorizing means. Post-treatment chemically-constituted tablets () or pellets () placeable at the outlet of the cartridge protect the drain pipe from corrosion and other harm.
