Compost Toilet Fail and lessons learned

After three 1-4 day trips, and a fair amount of adjustment with the #2 side, I have reinstalled my Thetford.

The diverter sends the urine directly into the black tank, and it passes thru a waterless trap that prevents odors from the tank coming up. The fan is in the back corner and pulls air across the...

Testing and Tweaking

After one 2 day and one week long trip I have some adjustments to discuss.

Custom Build Complete

I finished the "Separating & Dessicating" toilet. I reworked my parachute cord system to include a tipping plate that directs solids to the back of the container, and pulling the cord tips the...

Update and build progress

I have completed the construction of the base and am very happy with the results. I used 3/4" PVC and cut the sides and front as one piece. The sides start out rectangular and then transition to an...

The paracord system eliminates "handling" as the churning all takes place within the bag, which can just be tied, lifted out and discarded (or moved to next phase of composting) like any non churning...

TygerMark,

I do like the Separett design, but like so many store-boughts, they are too big for the limited space I have (even the Tiny). Churning also ties to space. Non churning toilets generally...

Have decided to Custom Build

While I still like the simplicity of the C-Head design, there are a couple of issues. They provide plans for building a "mock-up" to test your space. What I found is that the unit is too close for...

Update on Waste System Damage

Finally had a nice enough day to crawl under and check things out. Good news! The hose was severed, the sheet metal splash guards bent up, and the reach rod for manually turning the pump was slightly...

dmb496, thanks. That is helpful. Curious, what is the seat height above the floor? Your head is configured similar to mine. Had you considered routing the urine to the black tank and eliminating the...

Tygermark, I like the Separett designs, unfortunately they are too large for the space I have (including the new Tiny). Agree the airhead is ugly and do not like the disassembly process either.
