Selection of dry closet? Possible options ...

One of the key manifestations of the physiology of living beings, is the conclusion of waste products. But only for a person, this feature proved to be related to the problem of waste.

And if in a city this is available, and initially solved by sewage, during visits to the country, many people pursue discomfort because of the absence of a special place for urinating natural human needs.

The best solution to this delicate problem might be the acquisition biotoilet — the modern incarnation of special amenities.

Biography biotoilet

Oddly enough, but the most the world's first bio-toilet was invented by man, whose activities are not only touched the other direction, but also in general, it is in a different plane — aircraft designer Peter Büsingen.

His grandmother was seriously ill and in need of special care. Love to my grandmother and talent helped the designer Peter just two weeks to create a portable toilet, which later became the prototype of modern treatment facilities. Today, composting toilets have been used successfully in places where there is no sewage system: in suburban areas, in mobile offices, as well as while traveling or long road trips.

The main advantage and operational ease dry closet lies in its total independence from the availability of sewerage, water or electricity. In addition to autonomy, this portable design is absolute, because it has a small size and weight, and can therefore be used virtually anywhere.

Feature modern toilets is not only the convenience of transportation and operational versatility, but the principle of operation. Generally speaking, the prefix « bio » It is directly related exclusively to self-peat toilets.

However, the name of « toilets » firmly entrenched in the minds of consumers of all wastewater treatment facilities mini-mobile type.

How does a bio-toilet

Visually composting toilet is a kind of copy of the normal toilet, but in a simplified form. But if you look inside the structure, we can see that despite the similarity of tasks, these devices are quite different.

Regardless of the configuration and mode of operation, stand-alone portable toilets consist of two parts-tanks:

  • Upper Front seat and lid equipped with a toilet tank for clean water, a hole for its infusion, as well as a pump for flushing;
  • Lower Division serves as the receiving tank for waste, so equipped, respectively — connecting valves, storage tank and waste tank full indicator.

The main operational components of the liquid composting toilets are sanitary. Their task — Recycling feces into a homogeneous mass, which has no odor. Standard validity of such liquids — 10 days. Then, depending on the species, the content of storage tanks subjected to final disposal, — that is, or sent to a centralized cleaning system, or into the soil as fertilizer.

Toilet chemical type — again about the practical benefits of chemistry

The main purpose of chemical toilets — splitting wastes the human body with the help of chemicals. This occurs as follows: pressure pump actuates the drain mechanism. As a result, the water from the upper cistern flushes waste into the lower reservoir tank, where faeces are deodorization and chemical treatment.

Wastes are converted into liquid, odorless product, but also, in parallel, deodorizing drains and warned gasification process.

For splitting waste chemical toilets are used three kinds of liquids:

  • Formaldehyde type. Are characterized by high toxicity, therefore, after the processing of waste not be disposed of anywhere except sewage
  • Ammonium type. The average level of toxicity. Not sensitive to oxygen. Complete cleavage is achieved 7 days
  • Biological type. Non-toxic and completely environmentally friendly, as they contain live strains of bacteria, which provide the cleavage of waste. Treatment of micro-organisms can be used to obtain substances as fertilizer.

Once the storage tank is full, it must be released. For this purpose the upper part of a portable toilet is removed and bottom relate to the place of utilization.

Various models of chemical toilets are different dimensions of the tank, flush the system and the availability of additional equipment in the form of the air valve and an indicator of filling the tank waste.

Chemical water treatment devices completely autonomous and therefore optimal for use on the road or during frequent journeys.

Peat biotoilet — Console « bio » indeed apt

Despite the obvious convenience of portable chemical toilets, this type of treatment facilities, because of its toxicity, it is not suitable for use in a suburban area.

The ideal solution to the problems of waste disposal will be for gardeners peat bio-toilet. This cleaning device simultaneously performs two functions: recycles waste and create one   fertilizer.

Unlike chemical toilets in peat biodevices for digestion of waste are used exclusively natural materials. It may be sawdust or peat or other organic substances.

Microflora, which is an integral component of these substances, can not simply break down the waste, but also turn them into a rich organic fertilizer, safe for the environment, the most useful for the development of garden plants.

How does a peat bio-toilet

The design of the peat dry closet not too different from that of chemical — the same two tanks, but there is no function of water flushing. Nevertheless, peat toilets require permanent installation and arrangement of ventilation — these are the characteristics of their actions.

As the name implies, the main active component of Peat biotoilets Peat is. It is this natural material is used for a magical transformation of normal faeces in excellent fertilizer.

Previously, using a special dispenser, sprinkle the bottom peat sanitary tank. And after the waste is put into the storage tank, and sprinkled them on top of peat. The amount of peat can be easily adjusted by rotating the handle of the dispenser.

As a result of aerobic microorganisms, there is mineralization of waste, that is,   the initial stage of composting, and the resulting semi-finished product is sent to the compost heap, roughly, for a year, until it is aging.

Installing peat toilet. Nuances, which should take into account & hellip;

A distinctive feature of the peat toilets — lack of water drainage. This is because the level of humidity which is required for the cleavage of waste, peat receives from the waste itself. Moreover, as the peat, and sawdust have a high degree of absorbency — 10 liters of fluid is sufficient only 1 kg of dry mixture of peat.

However, under heavy use the toilet, the liquid may remain untapped source and become rather unpleasant odor. To avoid this, you must take care of the sink, equipping biotoilet hose for removing the filtered liquid.

Moreover, in dealing with an unpleasant odor, excellent ventilation helps. Under typical venting device in peat biotoilets imply corrugated pipe installed in the opening of the lid of the cleaner and deduced outside through a wall or roof of the room where the toilet is.

Electricity — the possibility of perfection for which you have to pay

The use of electricity for suburban devices, for reasons of economy, is not always welcomed by gardeners. However, the use of electric composting toilets, from a practical point of view, is doubly justified.

Firstly, it is a simple, reliable and safe way to dispose of organic waste. And secondly, a great opportunity to get an excellent fertilizer for the garden, almost out of nothing.

Electric toilets originally equipped with drainage and ventilation systems, and are able to separate waste by type, — into solid and liquid. Besides, modern   elektrotualety use a minimum of electricity and does not require additional funds break down.

In principle, each type has its own self-contained toilets advantage of what you choose depends primarily on your needs. In any case, toilets — it is always a step in the direction of comfort.
