Ekolet VS composting toilet for holiday home indoors

Underneath the toilet-room one must have a space for the composting tank of at least a 140 cm x 140 cm square with a height of 65 cm. If the house will be kept warm year-round, then it is advisable also to insulate the technical room below the floor where the composter will be installed.

The composter is installed on even, frost-resistant, well-supporting surface. The maximum total weight of the composter is 400 kg. The weight under normal usage is 200–300 kg. All parts of the composter can be carried in through a 60 cm wide door. The composter has an electric fan (12V/4W), that fans air into the 100 mm ventilation pipe attached to the lid of the composter at a rate of 20 cubic meters per hour. The ventilation pipe must always be directed upwards in such a manner that the ventilation will function naturally also during electric shortages. It is advisable to insulate the ventilation pipe. The fan can be powered also by an electric solar panel. All pre-cleansed liquids are extracted from the composter via an exhaust hose (ø 19 mm) and can be mixed with the other household waste water (grey water).

One side of the composter must be accessible for emptying of the composter. A full compartment provides you with 50 litres (one wheelbarrow) of composted soil. One 230 V 50/60 Hz electric outlet located indoors near the composter is needed for the fan. Other option is to use solar power for the fan.
