That's my friends site. The quality of his products is very good. He set up, because he wasn't happy with the quality of the separators available. I've got all the bits to make one, but need aroundtuit

To finish it off.

Hi Kris, just saw your line under your posting here, do you know how long for they've owned "LUNE", as I have some photos of her from a sales ad of about 5 years ago, did they buy her then, or didn't they managed to sell her at the time, and decided to keep her ?

I'm not shure Peter, I think they have had the boat over 5years. I know it's got a lovely 3 cylinder Russell Newbury In.

 

Regards kris

 

Thanks for this info Kris, if I get to the U.K. and I'm in their area, I'll go to see them.

 

Peter.

This looks to be better than the Kildwick Kraft 380; cheaper too but a little longer.

They are good too, but I didn't list this one as the OP was asking for the smallest compost toilet.

 

If however he has the space for a "simploo" that would be a good choice too of course, and as you say cheaper.

As someone who has sold, used and installed compost toilets for years, I can add that the smallest toilet for boats is the Natures Head, which we can supply if people want one. The Air Head is similar in size, but is now not as good and availability of these from the manufacturer is becoming a problem.

 

These companies, and Separett, who make the Villa and Weekend, have spent years developing and refining their toilets. Whilst the Simploo looks smart, there are many reasons why it won't work well as it is made by someone who tried to copy what he saw as expensive toilets, but without understanding that they are expensive to pay for the R & D and development, which he hasn't done. I rest my case . . .

Totally agree with the comments from Canal Shop Man. Sadly I purchased a Simploo. The Simploo is pitched as tho it is the answer to all your problems. I would suggest it is only the beginning. The unit is made of material which looks and feels cheep. It is badly fitted together. Gapping gaps due to a poor design and the individual parts being of different material and the components not fitting together well. And the waste section is small and fully visible. There is also a hole in the bottom, which allowed urine overflow to leak on to my wooden floor. For a long time I have not bought something that feels so nasty! Wishing I had spent a little more in the first place and bought a Separett. 

I think you will find Canal shop man is not the best person to quote on this forum or indeed anywhere else for that matter!!

Having only read the one from him on this topic, I am just saying what he has said about the Simploo I am in agreement with. It is the worst purchase I have made for my boat.

Fine. hes not a very nice man by all accounts. Well actualy that's an understatement. :cheers:

I like the canal shop man he did a great deal on my separate villa years ago  and the same thing is going on my bathtub. I ripped out the pumpout and wouldnt dream of fitting a cassette loo as they are far to much work to use, I mean you have to empty them sooooooo often what a pain in the axxxe to say the least

Sounds like a blanket statement right there 'it's what everyone who composts seems to use' hmmm ... cheep doesn't make it good!

Use what you want, myself I use a well tried and tested device that can be emptied in many hundreds in fact thousands of places into a sewage system throughout the country, in seconds with no problems or storage issues.
