Finnish bio-toilet for summer residence

If your sewerage site does not yet have a sewer system, you will have to equip the cesspool and build a toilet cubicle above it.

But the process of digging a cesspool is rather laborious, and even such hygienic requirements do not correspond to the toilet.

Another thing - a Finnish bio-toilet for a dacha, which can be placed not only on the street, but also indoors, which creates additional comfort and comfort for the residents of the country house.

Advantages of

The construction of the dry closet does not let out unpleasant odors, and its appearance has a comfortable design and attractive design.

The Finnish bio-toilet has many advantages over the standard wooden booth. Despite its light weight and dimensions, it is very durable and reliable.

The construction of the toilet is made of environmentally friendly and perfectly safe materials.

For such a toilet, there is no need for a waste tank, since waste products enter a specially designed tank, where later, thanks to special chemical processes, it is processed into a full-fledged compost.

The Finnish biotoilelet for a summer residence consists of a tank in volume from 100 to 700 l, a ventilating pipe, a thermal seat, a pipe for removal of superfluous moisture and a peat mixture.

Principle of operation

The principle of operation of the dry closet is quite simple: cover the bottom of the tank with 2-3 cm of peat mixture before use. Once in the environment waste, begin to quickly process, forming carbon dioxide and humus.

Excess moisture with the help of drainage is output to the outside, where it goes deep into the soil.

After use, a layer of peat mixture is added to the tank again, so repeat until the tank is full. The resulting humus is placed in a compost pit for ripening.

A year or two later - excellent compost will be ready for fertilizing flower beds and flower beds. However, vegetable beds with these composts are undesirable to fertilize.

The ventilation pipe must be positioned vertically and out of the dry closet.

Otherwise, the toilet room will retain a high humidity.

At the dacha you need not only a toilet, but a shower. After all, after working in the country site you will need to wash away the dust and sweat. It is not necessary to build a separate shower.

You can buy a unique building two in one - a Finnish bio-toilet for a dacha with a shower and a toilet.

Shower and toilet are located in the same house, built on the Finnish technology, but separated from each other by an internal partition.

This combination can save a lot of space in a small suburban area.

Universal Finnish biotoilets can work without problems for five years, no less. In addition, they are quite inexpensive if we compare them with the device of autonomous sewerage.

But the biotoilets also have a small drawback - they work only at a positive temperature.

Which one to choose?

When buying a toilet for a summer house, be sure to pay attention to some important points: the volume and weight of the storage tank, the height of the dry closet.

The smaller the capacity of the biotoilet, the more it will have to be emptied, so the volume of the storage tank must correspond to the number of family members.

For example, for a large family will be enough capacity of 20-21 liters, which is designed for 50 uses.

And for a family of 2-3 people the optimal choice will be a tank of 12-14 liters, designed for 25-30 uses. If the volume of the biotoilet is not chosen correctly, it will often have to be emptied.

The weight of the storage tank along with the waste is of no less importance when choosing a biotoilet. Approximate weight of a full capacity of 20 liters is 23 kg, and a tank of 14 liters weighs 15 kg.

Before you give preference to one of them, think about what kind of tank you can actually drag to the folding site.

After all, if you choose a bio-toilet with too much capacity, then with its removal can be difficult.

Also carefully select the height of the dry closet. Keep in mind that a biotoilete of 42 cm height will be inconvenient to use for children, and too low - 31 cm is not suitable for adults. Therefore, choose the golden mean.

Some other nuances that should be taken into consideration when choosing a biotoilet are the filling capacity indicator and the pressure relief button.

It is not advisable to install a biotoiler on a site in winter, since freezing of liquids takes place from below zero temperatures, which can damage the container.

Peat toilets

Most often, peat toilets are being purchased most recently. Such biotoilets are easy to install and maintain, they are safe for ecology and human health, they weigh a little, they are compact.

The Finnish peat toilet is much more profitable for a summer house than the capital sewerage system, and is a hundred times better than an ordinary toilet with a cesspool.

A peat substrate serves as a filler for the peat bio-toilet.

The tank-filler of the dry closet is so tight that it does not miss any unpleasant odors, so it can be installed even in the room.

These devices are ideal for maintaining hygiene, do not require specialized maintenance and are very convenient to use.

The peat bio-toilet kit consists of a waste collection tank, a vent pipe, a peat element, a drain hose and a special membrane.

A peat bio-toilet works on the principle of waste separation: on solid and liquid. Liquid waste first flows into a special receiver, and from there they move to the pit.

Peat or peat-based mixtures are used as the working element. In the process of processing, high-quality compost is formed, which can be used for fertilizing flower beds.

Before using the bio-toilet, its filler should be filled with peat. Filling is done using a special handle that controls the dispenser.

The quantity of peat mixture is dosed by the number of revolutions of the handle.

Peat, poured from the dispenser, covers the contents of the storage tank with a uniform layer.

No need to pour too much peat, as in this case the container will fill very quickly and it will often have to be emptied.

To remove excess moisture and unpleasant odor, the biotoilets are equipped with special ventilation.
