OPERATION
The BASIC model is a great example of outstanding design and yet simple to use. Simplicity, though too often underrated in product design, is the real essence of this toilet. The waste goes into an environmental waste box; the liquid waste is separated from solid waste. The first step is drying of the solid waste; this part of the process is conducted by a heating element, which is located underneath the waste box. When the waste box is full, simply add the waste box or waste bag to a composting pile. In a few months, the waste box/bag and the waste will be decomposed and have been transformed into an excellent garden fertilizer. No chemicals are employed in the drying process, but sawdust may be added after usage (improves the composting process). For more information about composting visit http://www.compostguide.com |

| SEPARATING FEATURES |
 |
A major adventage with the Basic Series compared to other composting toilets is their separating feature. The liquid waste gets separated out from the bowl, which could be handled be in a few different ways:
1) It can be reused as a great fertilizer: simply collect the liquid waste in a container and add 8 parts of water to 1 part of liquid waste.
2) Guided in to an existing sewage line.
3) Guided into a drain pit (Check with your local authorities for any restrictions). |
