An Overview On Dry Toilets RV

By Timothy West


Restrooms have improved from olden pit latrines where all waste was deposited underground to near modern flush facilities where excrete is held in an underground septic tank. While the latter offers huge benefits such as in-house installation, they are quite expensive to set up as well as maintain. These are slowly being replaced by dry toilets RV. Unlike flush lavatories, these require no water to drain or aseptic chamber to hold waste. It uses a number of aerobic bacteria to decompose waste to manure. They have several pros as well as cons as explained in the paragraphs below.

Homeowners require minimal resources to set up waterless amenities. Basically, one will be required to purchase the facility then hire a professional to set it up. No ground digging, installation of underground tanks or piping is needed. Consequently, it is not just inexpensive but also takes the shortest time to set up. Differently, whether a traditional system is built inside or outside, setting up takes a lot. Precisely, owners must construct external underground septic then connect it to lavatories.

They are an eco-friendly option. First, no water is needed to flush out defecate. Averagely, every person who uses this option saves seven thousand gallons of water in a year. Secondly, excrete is held in compartments for decomposition. Like animal excrete, human defecate contains a lot of nutrients that could be used to grow healthy crops. No trash is created through these systems since everything is composted to manure.

For individuals that are concerned about space, they could save a considerable size of their plots through this facility. For traditional lavatories, where main houses are built determines the positioning of septic tanks and thus how piping will be done. Sometimes this may end up utilizing a large space. Conversely, no such considerations are needed for waterless facilities. For this reason, it can utilize the best space available.

Being a standalone facility, there is minimal maintenance required. For instance, if it is a model where owners are required to do mixing personally, this may be the only maintenance practice needed. Furthermore, most sellers provide lifetime warranties. In case of any damage, it is up to them to repair.

Additionally, waterless amenities relieves homes of burdens that could be created by other facilities. Similarly, piping is already a burden based on how many components require this. In addition, homeowners could be strained in terms of water usage. Composting systems use minimal resources but deliver better results.

In terms of negatives, there are numerous. Chambers are not placed underground. This is to say, if not sealed properly, they cannot contain odors. The constant smell of human waste could scare away neighbors. Likewise, homeowners would not be comfortable living in a smelly environment. Manufacturers have come up with temporary solutions to this. Addition of certain components in chambers reduces the intensity of the odor.

Some models have a single basin to hold all content. This hinders proper decomposition since new content is added to excrete that is almost decomposing. To prevent this, owners may be forced to create a separate place where older excrete is placed to allow proper decomposition.
