How to make composting bio-toilet with his hands

Not all truckers have the opportunity to complete the sewage system, and the development of ecological consciousness compels us to care about recycling. The best option in this situation becomes biotoilet composting, wherein the waste processed into compost.

The bioreactor kopostnogo toilet wastes are poured peat which blocks and absorbs the odor of the liquid. Biochemical reactions occur as a result of which the waste is decomposed, releasing moisture and carbon dioxide, and forming a small amount of compost.

It is this version of our portal vacationers consider the most harmless. Flush water closets require the use of chemical liquids.

Kisa (Participant FORUMHOUSE):

And in the peat, in addition to peat, and "this same", nothing more.

How does a peat biotoilet

Outwardly, this device is not very different from an ordinary toilet.

The design of the composting biotoilet It includes a seat and a bioreactor (receiving tank, container), wherein the composting takes place. At the bottom of the toilet set peat extendable container or pallet, and inventories stored in the upper peat.

All models are equipped with a mandatory system of ventilation, which ensures that no unpleasant odors. In addition, oxygen provides the normal processes of decomposition of waste.

Vertically mounted chimney ensures that no odor, but because it is usually necessary to install it at an angle, the pipe must be installed fortochny fan.

Moisture is removed through a drain hose. Removal of excess moisture is necessary for normal activity of bacteria, otherwise fermentation can start instead of composting. However, the experience of using composting composting toilets shows that small amounts of these devices manage and without drainage.

Tourist (Member FORUMHOUSE):

A very interesting thing, all overlaps and is poured into it, darling, and humus produced by them, used to fertilize the soil.

Judging by the reviews, the operating experience of these devices on our portal is mainly positive, more precisely, it can be summed up in the thesis FORUMHOUSE Member BanBaston"If properly exploited everything will be fine, if not be mat-peremat and desire to put this unit on someone's head."

In the first months of operation of the owners of such devices, no, no, yes and look at them to find an explanation for the miracle: where everything disappears, then? The difficulty encountered, usually only one thing: the device functions properly when using a two-man, not drinking beer large volumes; but when guests arrive, and there are large volumes of liquid waste products, there are problems.

BanBaston (Member FORUMHOUSE):

The device can not cope, it is necessary to pump. After exhausting procedures, I came up with an autonomous sistemku drain excess fluid.

Life hacking: switching device usage modes depending on the number of people using it has to be smooth. And if the two of you, constantly living in the country, come five others, the instrument in the maximum mode the day before your arrival!

BanBaston:

emptypan 1 per year (in the autumn) and change the filling. And yet - the smell really is not!

Composting peat toilet with his hands

Member portal Lumix77 I read both parts FORUMHOUSE topics peat biotoilets and at the end I decided to read a peat toilet itself. According to his calculations, the design will "something more comfortable" and much cheaper than imported counterparts.

Lumix77 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Maybe he will not be as aesthetically pleasing, but lacking something any shortcomings of serial samples of floor type.

Materials for the manufacture undertook the most common system.

Lumix77:

I think it wastes no matter where in the kitchen garden manure processed.

So, it was decided to make the toilet of a plastic barrel to 227 liters.

On top of the barrel we decided to put a bucket-toilet with a pre-cut-off-bottom or make a plywood cover with a conventional toilet seat. Recess recycled compost had to be carried out through a special container on the concepts embodied in this photo:

In any case, the liquid fraction outlet is provided. Master considered three options:

• I just saw off the bottom barrel, the barrel is mounted directly on the ground.
• Before you put the barrel on the ground, it makes holes that geotextile veiled and covered with gravel.
• Embedded in the bottom of the barrel from the kitchen sink drain, to this first heating it with a hot air gun construction. The drain hose is attached, which is displayed in an inverted bucket mounted on the drainage hole to fall asleep.

Spoiler: Only the third option, with a drain of the sink, according to experts, guarantee the absence of unpleasant odor and has been implemented with minor changes.

The task of providing oxygen compost solves chimney with a mesh at the end, which will not allow the flies and other insects to penetrate the structure.

The toilet stall floor made of 40 cm from the cover and vent stack. All "nadpolnaya" part of the barrel is decorated rack.

Lumix77:

Fall asleep to the bottom of a thin layer of peat moss and begin to use for its intended purpose. As you fill the lower hatch open at ground level, a shovel to shovel the lower layers are almost finished compost on their place on top of the new fall and the cycle repeats.

Advantages of this design:

• a large amount of the barrel allows you to increase the time between landings of peat;
• provided qualitative pereprevaniya lower layers of waste;

• bold use in the winter without fear of overflow and suffering with frozen peat.

Paul 1954 (FORUMHOUSE Consultant):

In your house you need to provide a place to store reserves of peat with the mechanism of spreading / sleep metabolic products.

As a mechanism, supposedly members of the forum, the most suitable shovel.

According to the participants of our portal solution is doomed to success, most importantly - a shower must be separated from the composting toilet. The basic principle - in the effluent should be enough water, otherwise it is necessary to do the filtering structure. Also GWL is set level - for the proper functioning of this design it must be low.

Vladimir43 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

If the water is more than time to soak up the land, you get a bad swamp. If the groundwater level is high, the water from the effluent is absorbed slowly.

Underway made some minor changes to the project:

The housing cover embedded bucket-toilet with a bottom cut.

 Storage capacitance made of construction buckets 40 liters c of the multilayer pipe of 16 mm handle attached to stainless steel clips.

Retraction of the liquid fraction equipped as follows: embedded sink basin, protected from clogging and peat piece syntepon mesh for cleaning.

For high-quality liquid outflow bottom of the heated dryer and arched towards the center. It flows from the bucket in the same sink, embedded in the bottom of the pots, which became dry closet housing.

Lumix77:

Chimney total length of 4 m, starting from the toilet and towers above the roof of about 2 meters, good traction, no odor.

Here's a peat toilet installed on the use of space:

Basalt insulated floor (50 mm). Notice the orange urinal on the wall to the right - it is made of washstand fitted with a hose to drain.

In the photos below you can see how to construct the sewer pipe (50 mm). Pipe displayed in tube of 19 liters with a hole.

This device drain from the collecting tank. For protection from peat filter made of sewage plugs 110 mm:

And it is draining from the body, it enters the mate on the floor. The construction of insulated Energoflex:

As we can see, in the assembled device looks like a normal toilet.

Lumix77:

The cool thing is very convenient, would recommend to do.

Member of our portal with the nickname kundalaExamining relevant experience Forumhouse, made similar construction, The story of which you can see in the video, posted on our website.

kundala(Member FORUMHOUSE):

Instead of scribbling lay clip. The idea is taken in this topic.

Biotoilet from scrap materials

Consider another embodiment of the composting biotuleta-homemade constructed as a temporary member of our cottage portal maximca nickname. First, as is often the case, he just wanted to buy a suitable model.

Maximca (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Internet search has revealed, firstly, the lack of my favorite patterns in the warehouses, and secondly, their inadequate price tag of 80 to 120 thousand. rub. I decided to go to the store and look at one of the most simple models, but then I began to strangle the toad.

As the member of our portal, dushivshaya his toad and tossed him to the idea of ​​making compost composting toilet himself and actually wrote him a plan for implementing this project with a rather unexpected materials:

• The main role of the container protrudes garbage container volume of 240 liters.
• Unfortunately, the lid of the container home use was impossible due to its relief, so buy the right size plastic windowsill. New part is attached to the container Furniture bolt.
• Drainage is constructed from hoses and strainers.
• It sets an excellent corporate seat of the Finnish toilet.
• Is the ventilation pipe and fungus on it.

The success of the idea has been proven over the years of operation.

Maximca:

The smell in the toilet is not even using conventional specialized peat mixture, drainage works - canister leaked this year and cleaned the toilet.

Ventilation works simply with a bang, and the toilet seat from the Finnish does not cause unpleasant sensations in contact with the skin, even in the cold season.

A compost produced a homemade device, we have grown the first crops of vegetables.

On FORUMHOUSE discussed different types of composting toilets. You can find the most suitable sewage option for your home and watch a video that tells the story of the construction of uniting in one room Shower, woodsheds and ecological toilet.
