the basics

There are two types of ecotoilet - Aquatron - low flush and Toatrone - waterless
There is the choice of two composters - see later for details.

Decomposition is an efficient natural process, using air, natural heat, micro-organisms & earthworms to convert solid waste into humus.

Only 5 -10% of the input volume remains as humus.
Urine is drained off to a urine tank or Grey Water System
No chemicals are needed
Containers are ventilated by a low consumption fan to allow decomposition without smell.

Capacity for a family of 5 - plus periodic larger loading due to visitors.

Ecotoilets are not hazardous to user's health or the environment.
Easily installed and maintained below the floor in a well ventilated compartment.

The product is intended for use in areas where there is no public sewerage reticulation system, or in localities where there are difficulties with high water tables or disposal of effluent by conventional ground soakage measures.

ecotoilet's urine separation system (patented) is unequaled in creating a stable composting environment.
