Liquid for a composting toilet in the country: selection criteria and review of the best brands

Mobile cubicles for dry toilets have long become commonplace and do not cause any surprise. They are used when it is not possible to install a stationary toilet or it is not economically feasible. Mobile toilets have proven themselves to be excellent during public events: sporting competitions, rallies, regional holidays, as well as in places where people spend their summer holidays. Installing permanent toilets would be too expensive. Those who have used dry closets have probably noticed that the waste collection tank contains some kind of pleasant but pungent-smelling liquid, usually blue or blue in color. This is a special product for dry closets; in this article we’ll talk about it in more detail.

All of the above applies not only to stationary toilet stalls, but also to compact dry closets sold in building materials and garden supply stores. In addition, dry toilets are installed in transport: on airplanes, on boats, ships, on good trains and in some cars (tourist buses and campers).

What is liquid for mobile toilets used for?

Some people mistakenly believe that the liquid is used to clean toilets: toilet bowls, seats. However, this is not true: the product is not designed for cleaning, moreover, it cannot be used for this purpose. It does not dissolve salt deposits or remove limescale. Why do you need liquid for dry toilets?

She has three main tasks:

1. Aromatization of air and tank contents.
2. Disinfection of human waste.
3. Processing waste either into a neutral substance without an unpleasant odor, or to produce a valuable fertilizer.

To implement these tasks, two tools are produced:

• For use in the top tank.
• For use in the lower tank.

Let's talk in more detail about what these tanks are and what they are needed for.

How to make a splitter for a dry closet with your own hands

The high cost of drugs makes many people think about making a splitter with their own hands. This makes it possible to significantly reduce the cost of servicing a dry closet. For these purposes you will need:

• Vinegar;
• Salt;
• Starch;
• Essential oil.

Starch acts here as a binding element, and salt allows you to absorb dirt from the surface of the latrine. To make the mixture, starch and salt are taken in a ratio of 3:1. The composition is diluted with water and mixed until a homogeneous mass is formed. For 100 g of mixture you will need 100 ml of water. Then the resulting mass is heated over low heat until thickened. During this process, the mixture hisses, after which it is worth continuing heating for another half a minute. The resulting mass needs to be cooled. Vinegar or acetic acid will help eliminate unpleasant odors in such a toilet. This component is added to the resulting mixture at the rate of 8 ml per 100 grams. To ensure a deodorizing effect, add essential oil to the mixture. It can be selected based on the preferences of the owner of the dry closet. Essential oil should be added 3 drops for every 100 grams of mixture. Such a homemade product will clear the latrine of unpleasant odors, dirt and bacteria within a few weeks. Manufacturing does not require much time, large material investments and special skills.

Upper and lower tank

If you have a flush toilet, this means that it has two tanks: an upper and a lower one.
The upper tank is used to fill water or other liquid to flush. The lower tank collects human waste, as well as toilet paper and napkins. The top can be filled with:

• Water.
• Special flavored product.

It is clear that in transport and other public places, special agents are rarely poured into the upper tank: it will be too expensive. Make do with plain water. Only the most reputable companies can afford this, but it is quite possible to equip such a toilet at your own dacha.

A product intended to disinfect the contents and transform it into a safe substrate is poured into the lower tank. From here it is clear that different products are produced for the upper and lower tanks; they should under no circumstances be confused. Bottom fluids are commonly called breakers because they actually break down complex organic molecules into simpler ones.

How to choose fillers and liquids for dry toilets

The main criterion when purchasing products for dry toilets is the model of the equipment used. No less important criteria will be the following indicators:

• Availability of a built-in drive full indicator;
• Weight of the user of the dry closet (the maximum value is taken into account);
• Equipment placement conditions (use in summer or winter);
• Heights;
• Type of installation;
• Waste tank volume;
• Case material;
• Number of latrine users;
• Presence of a pressure valve.

The choice of drugs is also influenced by the further use of waste as fertilizer or the lack of need for this.

Types of splitters

The industry produces three main types of splitters, which differ fundamentally in their mode of action:

• Ammonium . Decomposition occurs under the influence of nitrogen. To do this, it is necessary that no oxygen enters the tank. Human waste is broken down to its simplest components, the unpleasant odor disappears, and can be used in compost heaps to produce organic fertilizer;
• Formaldehyde . The substances are toxic and dangerous to humans, but they quickly disinfect waste. They are good to use for quick disinfection, for example, in toilets installed at public events;
• Biological . The most environmentally friendly way: anaerobic bacteria process waste into a safe substance, also suitable for fertilizers. This method is loved by summer residents and all lovers of ecology, but it has two significant drawbacks: the process is very long (at least ten days), and the cost of the product is high.

Ammonium splitters are used mainly in compact, portable dry closets. The cost of the product is approximately 250 rubles per liter, it lasts for three months. Formaldehyde disintegrators can only be used when the contents of the tank are poured into the central sewer. Therefore, in summer cottages, in country houses with local sewerage or without it at all, the liquid cannot be used: it will poison the soil. Biological digesters can be used when the volume of waste is small so that it has time to be processed, or a large tank is needed to drain the sewage.

Why do you need liquid for a composting toilet and what can it be?

Any dry toilet consists of two parts-reservoirs: a waste receptacle and a compartment with water for flushing.

Sanitary liquid disintegrator

Due to the small volume, it is impossible to pour a lot of water into the lower compartment, as in a centralized city sewer. Therefore, a special sanitary liquid-disintegrator is added to it, which speeds up waste processing. After adding it, a film forms in the tank.

The advantages of using such a liquid are obvious:

• the unpleasant odor disappears;
• dry toilet parts do not deteriorate from waste (this especially applies to rubber parts);
• harmful bacteria do not multiply;
• waste recycling occurs faster;
• the toilet becomes clean.

  
  The dry closet consists of two compartments into which liquids of different compositions are poured, thanks to which it remains clean

Sanitary liquids for dry toilets vary in composition:

• ammonium, in which the chemical reaction occurs with the help of nitrogen. For this composition to work, it is necessary to limit the entry of oxygen into the tank. The waste is processed into compost within a few days and is safe for humans and the environment;
• formaldehyde, based on formaldehyde. This is a toxic compound, but the waste breaks down very quickly;
• biological, consisting of bacteria that process waste into fertilizer. They are environmentally friendly, but their effect is long-lasting - about 10 days.

BIOwc - universal ammonium-based liquid for composting toilets

Thetford company produces toilet liquid based on formaldehyde, it is easily recognized by its blue cap

Liquid for composting toilet BIOLA contains bacteria that convert waste into fertilizer

The choice of one or the other option depends on where the recycled waste from the dry closet will be disposed of.

The sanitary properties of toilet liquid are lost after two weeks of use. After this time it needs to be replaced.

Scented cleanser

Scented products are poured into the upper water tank, which serve only to eliminate the unpleasant odor during flushing. The advantages of their use:

• flushing improves;
• the smell from the toilet disappears;
• The bowl is easier to clean and no plaque forms on the walls;
• water is saved.

  
  Using a deodorizing liquid makes flushing from a dry closet easier.

What to look for when choosing

There are deodorizing liquids for the flush tank and liquid-splitting liquids.
A huge variety of products are sold on store shelves and online.

How to choose a remedy?

1. Pay attention to the manufacturer . It is better to buy a product from a trusted manufacturer that has received good customer ratings. However, there may be products on the market from young, start-up companies that are not inferior in quality to products from well-known manufacturers, but are much cheaper.
2. Price . You have to be careful here. The price per bottle says absolutely nothing, since the product is usually sold in the form of a concentrate, which must be diluted with water in certain proportions. These proportions are indicated on the label, so it will be useful to calculate how much ready-made solution can be made from a given bottle, and only then compare the price of a liter of ready-made solution.

Example

Remedy 1 . Price per liter is 1000 rubles, consumption is 100 milliliters per 10 liters of the volume of the lower tank. From this we see that to break down 1 liter of waste you need 10 milliliters of product worth 10 rubles.

Remedy 2 . Price per liter is 1600 rubles, consumption is 50 milliliters per 10 liters of the volume of the lower tank. For 1 liter of waste you will need 5 milliliters of product worth 8 rubles.

This shows that the second product is more profitable, although the price per liter is higher. In all cases, the product concentrate is first pre-dissolved in a small amount of water and then poured into the tank.

1. Customer reviews . You should carefully read what users of the funds write. It’s no secret that there are a lot of custom reviews on the Internet (both laudatory and critical). Therefore, it is best to ask your friends or look on those sites where there is serious moderation of reviews (Otzovik, Yandex Market, etc.).
2. Features of the action . Some products are effective only after four or five days of use, others after six days, some even require a week and a half to neutralize impurities.

The temperature range is also important: rarely, but still there are cases when dry closets are used in severe frosts. For these cases, you need a special non-freezing liquid that can withstand frosts down to minus 40 degrees Celsius.

Liquids for the upper tank of a dry closet

Liquid for the upper tank of the Aqua Kem Rinse dry closet

Aqua Kem Rinse is a liquid in a one and a half liter bottle. The drug suppresses the activity of bacteria that cause gas formation, aromatizes wastewater, maintaining freshness in the toilet room. In addition, Aqua Kem Rinse residues form a thin film on the inner surface of the toilet, making it easier to flush waste.

The dosage of the drug mixed into water depends on the temperature. For example, at -10 C, 10 liters of water only need 300 grams of BIO WC -45. If the frost drops to the maximum -45 °C, then for the same volume of water you will have to add 500-600 grams of antifreeze.

• Available in 5 liter cans
• The cost of one container is 350-400 rubles

Review of the most popular tools

Thetford

Everything is simple here: the recognized world leader in chemical toilet products is the Thetford company (Netherlands). Its products invariably receive positive and even rave reviews.

The company produces three types of liquids, which are easily distinguished by the color of the cap:

• Bottles with pink caps are for upper tanks (deodorizing solution).

• Bottles with green and blue caps are for lower tanks.

The product in bottles with blue caps is poisonous and is made from formaldehyde. Allows you to quickly disinfect sewage; treated products can be poured into a regular sewer. The product in bottles with green caps contains bacteria that safely convert sewage into neutral and useful fertilizer.

The main advantages of Thetford products:

• Complete neutralization of unpleasant odors.
• The product's own scent is subtle and not pungent.

• Withstands light frosts well.
• Child protection.

Protecting the bottle from children is a unique and very useful invention of the company. There have been cases when children accidentally drank some solutions containing household chemicals. To prevent this, the bottle is designed quite cleverly: to open it, you need to squeeze the neck and pull the cap up.

Buyers generally evaluate all types of products positively. For example, here is one of the reviews.

Tamara K., 35 years old, Kazan:

“We bought liquid with a green stopper Aqua Kem Green 0.375 l for our country dry toilet. At first I didn’t read the instructions and applied an overly strong solution, then it turned out that a much smaller volume was enough. I liked that the concentrate is not smelly and does not corrode your hands, and I was amused by the childproof lid. Completely neutralizes the smell of sewage and converts it into a neutral mass, which we use as fertilizer. You just need to remember to drain the contents every four days, or even better, every third day. We found no downsides, except for the high price. If we find some Russian analogue with a lower price, we’ll try that too.”

Biola

A Russian brand that has received many positive reviews in recent years. It has a simpler composition than the Dutch product, its consumption is higher, but it costs three times less, so it makes sense to try it. Sold in simple bottles without any special frills, there are two varieties available: for upper and lower tanks.

It does not allow you to make compost from sewage (however, this is unlikely to be important for many), but it effectively neutralizes unpleasant odors and quickly decomposes waste. Does not contain components hazardous to human health. Can be used to deodorize ordinary cesspools in villages.

Goodwin (Goodhim)

Refers to products made on the basis of ammonium, which converts sewage into useful fertilizer (compost). The disadvantages include the high price (twice as expensive as Biola), and a pungent, specific smell.

Live bacteria

A young Russian company that produces cheap products in economical packaging for the bacterial breakdown of sewage. Very cheap, suitable for large volumes of waste. 74 percent of respondents assessed it positively (Yandex Market data).

Bioforce

A Russian manufacturer that produces a wide range of household chemicals, liquid for dry toilets is just one of the many types of products produced. It is a biological product for the lower toilet cistern and is very economical in consumption: 50 milliliters of product per 10 liters of tank volume.

Septicsol

Canadian product for dry toilets. Reviews say that it quickly neutralizes odors and disinfects sewage, but many believe that the substance has too pungent an odor.

BIOwc (Bionics)

Production St. Petersburg. It has an extremely low price (approximately 550 rubles for a five-liter canister), and is highly concentrated: consumption of 50 milliliters of product per 10 liters of the volume of the lower tank. The packaging is nondescript, it is clear that the manufacturer sought to make the product as cheap as possible. Convenient, economical packaging that will last for a very long time. Due to the low price, demand exceeds supply and is difficult to find on sale. Of the minuses: it is afraid of even minor frosts.

Conclusion

The industry produces numerous types of products for dry toilets. When choosing, you should focus on the criteria described above. In addition, we should not forget that household chemicals may contain toxic substances, so they should be kept out of the reach of children. Please note that most products are frost-resistant; for cold climates you need to choose special liquids. If money allows, it is better to buy expensive imported high-quality toilet fluids; if savings are important, then domestic products are also suitable.

Types of dry closets

Dry toilets come in liquid and peat types. In the first case, liquids are used that help break down solid fractions and liquefy feces.

In the second case, peat is used. The bacteria contained in the fossil decompose the waste. The dry mixture is poured into the upper tank. After using the toilet, use the handle on the top tank to sprinkle sewage into the storage tank. This type of plumbing equipment is often used in regions with cold climates due to the frost resistance of the mixture.

Reference! Most dry toilets are chemical because they use synthetic drugs. The prefix “bio” is correctly used for powder closets that use saprotrophic bacteria.

Types of dry closets

Product for country toilets and cesspools - hygiene and safety

Product for country toilets and cesspools
If you use a country toilet , or there is no centralized sewage system in the area where you live, then you simply need to buy liquid for a dry toilet. Keeping the latrine clean and tidy is a top priority in ensuring a decent level of comfort in your life. The use of modern chemistry can significantly simplify the care of cesspools, septic tanks and storage tanks.

Liquid for dry toilets accelerates the decomposition of organic compounds to a homogeneous mass. This greatly simplifies waste disposal and reduces waste disposal costs. The components of the mixture effectively destroy salmonella and other pathogens. As a result of using the liquid, siltation and gas formation are reduced, and the unpleasant odor disappears.

The concentrate is absolutely safe for both humans and the surrounding ecosystem. It does not poison the soil, does not emit volatile compounds or carcinogens. Unlike old toilet cleaning products, the liquid does not contain formaldehyde or chlorine and does not cause allergies or corrosion of materials. At the same time, the composition kills the larvae of flies and ticks, prevents the reproduction of protozoa and viruses.

Dry toilet

A modern dry closet is a portable device that will be useful for people with disabilities or elderly family members on a picnic, at the dacha, and even in a city apartment.

The Dutch company Thetford has maintained a leading position in the production and sale of toilets for many years. Their production began in 1963, first for sea vessels.
