Dry toilet ?  Sawdust toilet ? Lovable Loo ?

 

Composting toilet.

 

Descriptive, not icky, and already the accepted term. Did I mention not icky?

 

So will you be doing as I plan then? Composting toilet and gray water system?

We will be doing the composting LOO :) and want to do the graywater system as well. Also researching quite a bit on rainwater collecting for indoor use. Still planning on getting another portable well drilling rig to drill our own in several locations on the property to serve different purposes including for fire safety purposes. But you know the LOO is really not a composting toilet right? Agreed that sounds better tho.Smile

No. You lost me.

 

If not composting, how then is it being managed safely?

the loo would be considered more of a eco friendly porta potty

Well I have been holding out on you guys. We have been trying out the COMPOSTING toilet :) for a couple of weeks now, and I am sooooo surprised at how GREAT this thing is. NO smell at all. I have been using Cedar sawdust from my sawmill. No bugs. No mess. When I say NO SMELL that is just what I mean. Our regular bathroom is not nearly as smell free as this system is. Emptying the bucket is a snap, and did I mention NO SMELL!!!!! I was expecting this to be a thumbs down from my wife, but she is cheering this thing on . I built one for pennies on the dollar, and there is no water bill to go along with the expense of the bill. Sawdust is FREE. NO WATER BILL. NO MESS. OH yeah (NO SMELL YALL !!!!!!) 

New house shots 174

New house will be outfitted with this system, but I will come up with a different design. This one works fine but I have some fine tuning to do. We ALL love it and are not ashamed of it at all.

Yes. The sawdust compartment has a rubbermaid container in it so we can just take it out and fill it with sawdust and replace it in the compartment. Works out great.
