The Most Practical Benefits		How does a Composting Toilet Work?
Our ecological toilet system is :~ Clean, simple, hygienic and practical solution. Integrated for normal domestic use in the bath or washroom Aerobic decomposition breaks down human waste into a safe organic product Good for nature and our pocket with no corporate service bills to pay No waste water polluting our land and potentially our drinking water Easy to install! A biological composting toilet providing sound techno/ecological balance — a perfect solution for our human peace of mind.		The main job of a composting toilet is to contain human waste and create conditions for rapid decomposition – including any pathogenic organisms – into humus; a safe stable soil-like substance.  This humus product is then an essential fertiliser or organic nutrient suitable for plant and tree growth. It can be composted and dug into the earth to enrich the soil for nature’s benefit. You may find the compost tray is emptied just once a year.  Rapid decomposition requires adequate oxygenation to remove any excess liquid. The air flow that enters the composting toilet ensures this process whilst also eliminating any odour via the unit’s vent pipe. Under typical conditions the process is complete in 60 days but disposal is normally required less frequently usually just once a year. Our own experience is that a natural and healthy diet produces a stable organic waste that is in fact almost entirely free of odour. A composting toilet is easy, hygenic and safe to use with long term economic and environmental benefits. What is more it includes us in nature’s most natural recycling process!
How to Install Your Dry Toilet		A Historical View - rich resource or flush it ?!
Everything you need to install the composting toilet unit is supplied in the box, including an easy to follow manual.  If you need a longer length of standard 6” plastic pipe it is readily obtained from most hardware stores.  You can be confident that basic DIY skills are all that you require. IF YOU NEED OUR ENGINEER TO INSTALL for you - please enquire for a quotation. This is what you do: WITH THE BIOLET TOILET UNIT LOCATED in position in a ventilated room…  (NE Only) THE DRAIN PIPE CONNECTS to the back of the unit, and must then exit to an external drain or soak away – either under the floor or simply through an exterior wall. THE FLEXIBLE AIR VENT PIPE must pass through the ceiling, or though an exterior wall. Roof–flashing is supplied. The ceiling is securely sealed with silicon and a rain/insect cap is fitted. FOR ELECTRIC VENTILATION a DC (Solar) or AC (mains) connection is required. The Solar powered models are supplied with a small solar panel which is easily mounted on a south facing elevation –the thin power cable can pass through the roof via the vent pipe. A COMPOST STARTER BAG can be supplied, and you place this in the Toilet unit the first time before use. It’s that simple !		It is a curious fact that our western society begun with a very different view from our Eastern neighbours. We in the West saw our human waste as something to be rid off quickly and out of sight. In the East it was considered a rich resource. How did this happen? Perhaps in the West the people simply followed the example of our “landed gentry”, the wealthy ruling class, who upon building their castles, would excrete their business directly into the mote – the water surrounding their castle. By example then, except for the peasant people, the city population disposed of their own directly into the street to be flushed away or not by the rain; "Duarde Chuva!". But in the East, in particular in China and Japan traveling people were often enticed by farmers to use their way-side privy, and in cities human waste was collected and transported out into the neighbouring farm land. It was such that several visitors staying in an Inn would receive a discount in payment simply by exchange for their collective deposit of humanure! Neither example was without some serious drawbacks and health risks, which history relates. Today we benefit from technology and knowledge – we understand how to work with nature. A biological composting toilet provides ecological balance - a perfect solution for our human peace of mind.
