Advantages And Disadvantages Of Dry Toilets RV

By Timothy West


As resources such as water and power become scarce and expensive there is a need for people to shift to lavatories that spend less of these. Traditional septic-based systems require water to flush. On average, a single person uses seven gallons of water daily to flush waste. Conversely, no water or power is needed to move the excrete in dry toilets RV. Instead of draining this trash in an underground septic tank, it is recycled. By the addition of various products, waste decomposes to produce manure that can be used to fertilize farms just like animals waste. The below paragraphs explain a number of benefits and losses of having such systems.

To begin with, compost lavatories are less expensive and faster to set up compared to traditional counterparts. For middle-income homeowners, this is quite expensive. Additionally, installing tanks and pipes takes time while intensive labor must be put in. Conversely, modern compost facilities cost less than this. There is no need for tanks or water for flushing. Since a few components are required to set it up, completion of installation takes a few days.

Secondly, waterless amenities have a minimal impact on existing property for various reasons. First, installation does not require digging any hole. Secondly, once waste is composted sufficiently, it can be used as manure on plants within that property. However, homeowners should ensure manure is well composted to avoid disease spread. Also, it should not be spread in home gardens. Since no water is used, these amenities reduce water wastage considerably.

To some extent, it reduces space wastage. Unlike traditional amenities, these require no piping or underground tanks. For this reason, they can be placed anywhere on a compound. Homes that are located in areas that are not feasible for connectivity benefit most. For traditional facilities, there should be a big enough space to accommodate septic. Since it may smell, it has to be located some distance away from the main houses.

Being a standalone facility, there is minimal maintenance required. For instance, if it is a model where owners are required to do mixing personally, this may be the only maintenance practice needed. Furthermore, most sellers provide lifetime warranties. In case of any damage, it is up to them to repair.

Numerous homes have several piping needs. Adding on to what exists places a bigger burden. Since waterless facilities do not need any connection, they are the best choice to reduce this burden. Similarly, there is no need for flushing out waste hence existing septic tanks are not overburdened.

Even with all these advantages, waterless facilities have a number of disadvantages. Some models cannot contain odor fully leading to air pollution. Such could raise issues with neighbors who find it hard to tolerate. To reduce this, buying models with double compartments to separate wet waste from waterless may help. Also, owners can buy certain products to help reduce the smell.

Systems with one composition compartment will require owners to build separate septic. Normally, waste can be wet and waterless. For single compartments, these two end up in the same basin. Consequently, different levels of composition are created. For this reason, it will take longer for waste to decompose completely which might not be a good idea.
