The waste is perfectly dry and normally the container doesn't even need rinsing. Different composting toilets have different capacities. The smallest C-head would probably need to be emptied once a week with two people on board.

I'm told some composting heads are emptied once a month (two people full time) and others once a week (ugh!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13202159841957430884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28092890.post-6724645134944516922015-08-05T15:34:42.653+12:002015-08-05T15:34:42.653+12:00Hi Rudy

As it is a drama to be shitting into pure drinking water in most "civilized" countries.. <br />But the artistic (and merchandise) side of me would desire an email-contact with You. <br />If You find a spare minute, I actually would e very glad if You drop me a line at <br />rudy.lovepirates@facebook.com <br /><br />Thank You in advance, <br />and always glad to read anything from You, <br />:) Rudy Rudyhttp://www.facebook.com/Rudy.LovePiratesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28092890.post-28071527754299885512015-05-08T11:53:51.591+12:002015-05-08T11:53:51.591+12:00The Lavac I had came with a porcelain bowl and I t...The Lavac I had came with a porcelain bowl and I think that is the only type they sell these days.

The trouble was that the bowl was plastic encased aluminium. In a few years the plastic and the aluminium parted company and I had to throw the whole lot out. I then fitted some Swedish? brand that leaks a bit and a holding tank - what a nightmare.<br />When I did a trip up to the islands years ago we just used to sit with our backsides over the pushpit at the stern - an excellent and much ventilated system.Alden Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601028197387499096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28092890.post-40028464050601127552015-04-24T21:06:50.598+12:002015-04-24T21:06:50.598+12:00An interesting and informative post about an impor...An interesting and informative post about an important issue. I have a small holding tank which works for me for weekend and holiday sailing which is sufficient for the time being. All the toilets I have had have had their problems. The best was a Lavac that used vacuum pressure to work but the bowl was plastic covered aluminium which corroded apart. <br />All my through hull fittings are are plastic and about 35 years old - no problems ever and NO corrosion problems.
