Equipped with a piston pump for flushing clean water. It is designed for approximately 50 uses without cleaning the tank (for a family of three people it will be enough for about a week). The waste tank indicator will indicate when maintenance is required. Minuses:

Of course, this model is not for the budget option. But for us, weighty arguments were: a) ease of operation - opened the lid, did business, closed the lid; b) ease of cleaning - took out and threw out the bag, rubbed the container with a wet cloth; c) the complete absence of unpleasant odors. This and guided when choosing and buying a dry closet. |

Selection of type of dry closet
An overview of the most common types of dry closets will help make a choice.
Electric toilets
If electricity is supplied to the installation site of the device, there are several solutions:
Dry closet with freezing. This is a “freezer” tank: the waste is packaged in biodegradable bags and cooled to low temperatures, which guarantees the absence of an unpleasant odor. Such devices are emptied quite often due to a small collection capacity, for example, in a compost pit. Suitable for installation on board an airliner, and for mobile offices, and for the care of patients with disabilities.
Dry closet with burning function. The recyclable waste, directly in the storage container, is heated to high temperatures and turns into ashes. And it can already be disposed of as ordinary household garbage. The devices are suitable for all possible cases of installation, the restriction is only in a high price.
Dry closets without electricity
Models without the use of electricity are also divided according to the type of disposal:
Peat dry closet with dry washout - model with backfilling of waste with peat mixture, absorbing moisture and neutralizing odors. A great option for giving or gardening: the contents of the storage tank of the device, already ready for “ripening”, is emptied into the compost pit and is used, after a while, as a fertilizer.
Cassette dry closet - waste products are collected in an airtight container - a cassette, where they are neutralized with the help of added septic tanks. When the container is filled, its contents are poured into the waste pit or sewer. Such models are suitable for long-distance buses, campgrounds.
But in these devices from the electrical network or batteries (accumulators) can work, for example, a flushing pump, mixer, heated compost.
Which bio-toilet is better to buy?
It all depends on the scope of application. For patient care or short trips, light and miniature Thetford porta potti 365 (the leader in popularity among composting toilets) and Dometic 972 will be the best option. If we are talking about long-term residence in the country, and there is no opportunity to mount the sewage system, then more spacious models will help. Well, for those who are not accustomed to deny anything to themselves, Separett Flame 8000 or Biolan Icelett, for example, would be an excellent solution.
Have a good shopping!
