An Overview On Dry Toilets RV

By Timothy West


As resources such as water and power become scarce and expensive there is a need for people to shift to lavatories that spend less of these. Traditional septic-based systems require water to flush. On average, a single person uses seven gallons of water daily to flush waste. Conversely, no water or power is needed to move the excrete in dry toilets RV. Instead of draining this trash in an underground septic tank, it is recycled. By the addition of various products, waste decomposes to produce manure that can be used to fertilize farms just like animals waste. The below paragraphs explain a number of benefits and losses of having such systems.

To begin with, compost lavatories are less expensive and faster to set up compared to traditional counterparts. For middle-income homeowners, this is quite expensive. Additionally, installing tanks and pipes takes time while intensive labor must be put in. Conversely, modern compost facilities cost less than this. There is no need for tanks or water for flushing. Since a few components are required to set it up, completion of installation takes a few days.

Secondly, waterless amenities have a minimal impact on existing property for various reasons. First, installation does not require digging any hole. Secondly, once waste is composted sufficiently, it can be used as manure on plants within that property. However, homeowners should ensure manure is well composted to avoid disease spread. Also, it should not be spread in home gardens. Since no water is used, these amenities reduce water wastage considerably.

To some extent, it saves on space. There are no limitations as to where individuals can place composting amenities. This can be explained in a number of ways. First, there is no piping which could affect positioning. Thus, individuals are free to place in any available space. Secondly, extra components such as tanks that could consume some space are not needed. For houses located in areas where piping is impossible, composting systems are a good choice.

Another advantage lies in maintenance. Waterless lavatories require very minimal resources to maintain. Normally, no additional moisture needs to be added to facilitate composition. Naturally, human waste has sufficient moisture. Apart from that, one may be required to mix material for thorough-composition.

Numerous homes have several piping needs. Adding on to what exists places a bigger burden. Since waterless facilities do not need any connection, they are the best choice to reduce this burden. Similarly, there is no need for flushing out waste hence existing septic tanks are not overburdened.

Even with all these advantages, waterless facilities have a number of disadvantages. Some models cannot contain odor fully leading to air pollution. Such could raise issues with neighbors who find it hard to tolerate. To reduce this, buying models with double compartments to separate wet waste from waterless may help. Also, owners can buy certain products to help reduce the smell.

Systems with one composition compartment will require owners to build separate septic. Normally, waste can be wet and waterless. For single compartments, these two end up in the same basin. Consequently, different levels of composition are created. For this reason, it will take longer for waste to decompose completely which might not be a good idea.
