What do you use in your toilet? (1 Viewer)

[PeteH]

Apart from the fact you are all just talking sh1te...How bout this idea?

I have in the past used dry bio toilets. Basically a fancy hole in the ground with a suitable shed and throne above. When one had conducted one's business...you were required to fling a small handful of dried soil down the chute. Job done, no smell, naturally composted. Completely 100% natural, no chemicals. I was struck by the lack of odour; it seemed a bit too good to be true but it was working, in a public toilet, in the summer!

Could the same idea be used in a cassette system? Very little liquid required, no chemicals, tabs, powders, lotions or potions need be added. I would assume that the resulting sludge would be non bio-hazardous, composted waste and would only require added water to flush out the cassette.

In the USA, out in the "boonies" what are called "Vault" toilets are quite common. Same principle (composting) but it comprises a very large pit (and deep, so you dont take your i-phone in there!) which is vented to the outside up a stack pipe. The only difference is you dont throw and dirt in, (just the odd i-phone). There is access, but no one ventures in very often!

P.s. Come to think of it. There may be one similar on the Crossways (CCC) site in Dorset?.

Look at ‘Nature’s Head’ and other so called composting toilets (they produce waste suitable for composting, they don’t produce compost):

They separate the pee into a separate container to stop the solid stuff getting waterlogged. Disposing of the pee is apparently more objectionable than the other stuff. Some narrowboaters use them in the UK, and they’re all the rage with US #vanlifers

Decent description here:

I’ll try again

Bio or non bio washing capsules?

Or blue or pink fluid?

Not interested in SOG, digging a hole or composting.

Always bio liquid or tablets. Any problem with the seals is a bit of a red herring as the liquid in the cassette will only come in contact with the seal if its very full. The only time I've had to replace seals was years ago when I was using blue.

Speve, we have a 68 plate Imala with a fan that switches on when the button is pressed , it seems to be located under the cassette, I also can't see where it vents out, I thought the idea was to vent out from a hole in the cassette via a small tube ? might be wrong , could anyone enlighten me.

If when you take out the casset you can see the filter in the base of the locker if you lift that out as @tonyidle said previously the fan is there and should vent through the floor if fitted correctly.
You would need to through floor and then insert a sleeve with a mesh on the outside to stop anything crawling in and. Seal around it to prevent any water ingress.

On mine they've used a standard domestic 1 1/4" plastic sink outlet (plug 'ole).

Bio capsule, dilute Pink in a spray bottle. SOG or equivalent makes the biggest single difference to use of a toilet within feet of living and cooking areas - don't dismiss the idea.

Cheap bio liquid, usually from Lidl or Aldi.

We were not impressed with our SOG... then realised the fan had died...Installed a new fan . All good
