Since
there is no water to rinse the bowl how do you prevent
"sticking"? |
Due
to the design and the non-stick surface of the chute, the
human waste falls directly into the processing drum and
into the area where the air is extracted.
As with any other toilet system, periodic cleaning of the
bowl is recommended.

How
is the odour contained so that the cabinet is not a stink
hole.? |
The
system is designed so that all odours are extracted
through the bowl, processing drum and then out via the
extractor pipe and fans / turbine.
Three air ventilation
systems are available, a wind turbine, solar powered D.C.
fan and a A.C. fan.

Asians
are not comfortable with toilet paper and use water for
cleaning up. Will this affect the evaporation? |
A
little bit of water in the system will not cause it to
malfunction. It will help in the ventilation /
evapouration process. |
| 4 |
Does
the system use a septic tank? |
Because
the whole process is a dry process there is no need for a
septic tank. Temporary storage takes place inside the
processing drum until the
waste is dropped into the removal bag. |
| 5 |
Is
the system patented? |
Yes,
there are local and International patents registered. |
| 6 |
Does
the system need any maintenance or special treatment?
|
No
special maintenance of the toilet system is required.
As with all other toilets
it is recommended that the bowl is cleaned regularly with
a soft brush and some soap or toilet cleaner.

How
many people can use a toilet? |
The
toilet was designed for normal daily use by a family of 6 to 10 people |
| 8 |
Do
I need special chemicals to clean the bowl? |
No,
a bit of liquid soap or disinfectant and water is enough. |

Asian
countries have different type toilets. |
