It is the most economical litter I have ever used. I only put a layer of litter in the pan that will cover half the pan. As the cats use it, it turns to sawdust. When its all dust you dump it....

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.

Usually when a cat does that there is something medically wrong or the cat is not neutered.
Before you waste your money trying to figure out deterrents, you need to take him to the vet. It will save pain and money if you can take his urine sample with you.
Call the vet, he will have ideas on how to collect it.
You cannot train a cat with discipline, yelling or hitting, it doesn't work.
You can modify his behavior though, but not until you know that it is not medical.

There is a lot of good info on this site for inappropriate peeing and how to prevent it in the future. Even after kitties medical problem is fixed, he will still want to return to the spot because it will have the smell. After you clean the area, you will need to neutralize it. there are many solutions, the cheapest and best I know of is a concoction of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and a drop of dish soap, sprayed on, let sit, and blot out, several time. don't leave the area too wet, too long, or mold may grow, and then you will have to take up the carpet. Just search the site.
