[Solo Boater - What Toilet?]

That would rule out the composting loo you have chosen, and reading the link it suggests it needs the solids container emptying every ten uses.  You get very few of the advantages and most of the disadvantages of a compost loo with that model!

 

If that is the only one you think would suit, then go for the cassette, and I say that as a very happy Separett user for five years.

 

I empty our solids about once a month, maybe every three weeks ...

Hello again,

It does have the capability to use a carbon filter, I know this because I know somone with this toilet on their boat and they have a carbon filter on it. Also, a narrowboat vlogger couple called Foxes Afloat have it, I saw their video while I was doing research on the toilet. Here it is if your interested:

That composting toilet has capacity for ten number 2s. So will need emptying every few days. What are you going to do with the contents (which won't have composted at all in that time)?

Hello,

I am going to have quite a large well deck & engine room, so I will either let it compost in there, or (which I'm not sure if its true or not, bt it seems to be) is put it in a rubish point at the services.

Thanks, Niklaus

So how are you going to recharge that battery?

Hello,

I have a 6 Kva generator, and  750 watts of solar.

Thanks, Niklaus

Of the two (I'm a pumpout user...) the cassette makes more sense - at least because it uses no electric power.

Hello,

I have a 900AH Lithium Ion battery bank, so electricty isnt really a problem.

Thanks, Niklaus

[Solo Boater - What Toilet?]

Hello there,

I know I'm probaly going to start a toilet war here, but I am getting a boat built at the moment and the builder would have prefered me to choose my toilet a month ago... But I hadn't' really decided what I wanted. I have always only thought about two types of toilet, the composting and the cassette. I thought about an incinerating for a while, but then went off it due the the enormous amounts of gas usage, and I ruled pump out pretty much straight away.

 

I am going to be a solo boater, and a continous cruiser (even through winter), and I was just curious as to what other people opinions of each option are. the composting toilet will have a carbon filter rather than a ventalation pipe. If your wondering, the composting toilet will have a splash screen, and that will enable me to stand up when I have to empty the tanker truck. I will include links to each toilet, here they are:

 

• Cassette: https://www.thetford-europe.com/gb/products/toilets/cassette-toilets/c263-cs-ceramic-bowl
• Composting: https://compoosttoilets.com/collections/all-products/products/deluxe-compost-toilet-with-urine-diverter-12v-self-stirring

 

Anyone who is willing the help, thank you.

Thanks, Niklaus
