BASIC Series waterless composting toilet
Introduction
The BASIC Series consists of two models; one
that operates on 12V DC and one that
operates on 120V AC. Both are waterless
composting toilets that are ideal for
applications where a conventional toilet is too
expensive or logistically difficult to install. The
BASIC Series uses a simple design, yet it is
equipped with several smart features that makes
it a very attractive and popular toilet.
How the the toilet works
The BASIC Series toilets are equipped with a
separating, and drying feature, which is the
Advantages:
• Waterless toilet, no need for sewage
or septic systems
• Runs on 12V DC or 120V AC
• Can operate in extreme cold and hot
climates
• Ecological, economical, and
logistical benefits
• Easy to install, maintain, and use
• Can be installed in fixed or mobile
applications
• Liquid waste can be reused as a
garden fertilizer
• Lightweight, only 45 pounds and
can be easily transported
first step in its composting process. The solid waste is collected in a special environmental box inside
the toilet. The liquid waste is separated from the toilet through a special liquid waste hose.
Underneath the waste box, there is a heating plate that dries out the waste material in the box;
the heating plate is thermostatically controlled and it reaches a temperature where most bacteria
die. When the box is full, one can easily open the toilet and remove the entire waste box with its
waste bag, or only take out the waste bag itself and then add the entire box/bag to a composting
pile; after a few months, the waste and bag will decompose.
The liquid waste is separated away in the front of the toilet bowl. By using gravity the liquid waste
gets drained outside the rear of the unit. The liquid waste is collected with a domestic wastewater
system, or guided to a drain pit or to a container. By mixing 1 part of liquid waste with 8 parts of
water, it can be used as a fertilizer.
