What Type of Composting Toilet System is Right for You
Remote or Self Contained?
Selecting the right composting toilet system is crucial to being able to use a composting toilet successfully in your home. If the system is too small, you risk overloading the toilet and creating a mess. On the other hand, if the system is too large, it may compost inefficiently or be much more expensive than necessary.
There are mainly two different types of composting toilet systems that are currently being manufactured by composting toilet manufacturers: Self-Contained composting toilets and Remote (or Centralized) composting toilets.
The advantages of a self-contained unit are many. These are small units that require no additional plumbing to install in a home. They are cheaper than the remote units, can be placed almost anywhere (some units are suitable for RV's and boats), and quite easy to use and maintain. The downside is that they have a limited capacity, and can easily be overburdened if used by too many people or not maintained properly.
The advantages of a remote unit is that they are able to deal with the waste produced by many people, and often look and feel more like a traditional flush toilet. They can only be installed in certain locations, however, and are much more expensive than the self-contained units.
Below you will find additional articles, videos and published information that can help you learn more about composting toilet systems and decide which system is right for you and your family. Regardless of which system you choose, making the switch to composting toilets as an important and laudable environmental action.
