COMPUS TWIN FULL ACCESS

A COMPosting, Urine Separating toilet which is remarkably compact yet spacious enough for full wheelchair access.

The preformed compost chamber extends 800mm below ground. It is divided into two sections used alternately on a one year cycle. When compost is removed it is at least one year old and well decomposed.

This toilet is functionally very robust and does not depend on any particular climatic conditions or significant management time to perform reliably.

We are happy to discuss your project and help with statutory permissions. We provide full after-sales support.

For technical information and usage levels go to FAQs. See also: Pros & Cons

A view inside the cubicle showing the toilet pedestal, vent pipe, male urinal, hand disinfectant facility and grab rail fittings. We strongly recommend the hand gel disinfectant system which avoids the need for a water supply and basins which carry a risk of freezing and flood damage.

The grab rails consist of a hinged bar for the rear wall and handrails.

The two nearest floor hatches facilitate emptying of the finished compost and the rear hatch provides the alternative pedestal position. The standard ventilation system is passive.

The wall mounted box contains wood shavings for putting down the toilet. See FAQs. Soak can be added by users or by a manager at the end of the day.

The toilet pedestal is designed to minimise cleaning requirements. It separates urine from seated users by means of a stainless steel urine separator. We supply a conventional ceramic urinal for male use.

BUILDINGS

We can supply two types of prefabricated building specifically designed to fit with the toilet components and to provide wheelchair accessibility.

There is a timber framed, timber clad version with full lining [shown at the top of this page] and a metal framed, metal clad building [shown right] with timber lining.

Both come with full installation instructions and the internal walls are templated to show fixing positions for grab rails etc.

To see more examples go to the Examples page.

COMPLETE SYSTEM WITHOUT A BUILDING

We can offer components for this toilet for those wishing to design and construct their own buildings. We supply the twin vault chamber and lid [which serves as the floor of the building], pedestal, urine separator, vent and all specialist components.

We will help with general advice on building construction but do not supply technical drawings for this. The planning drawings on our website should not be used for this purpose.

This toilet is urine separating and can have either a fan driven or passive vent depending on circumstances. Wood shavings, or similar material, are added to the toilet after "number twos" and these solids are eventually emptied into an outdoor dedicated composting chamber to complete composting. If you have ever had to empty a wet chemical toilet you should find this much nicer to deal with.

It's a good toilet for a private summer house, garden studio or other fairly low use situation with familiar users. This model is now supplied in white.

If you are thinking of designing a building and fitting composting toilets it is essential you contact us at an early stage - they are not like WCs!

The example shown here is a privately owned garden pavilion with above ground vaults.
