What are dry toilets?

What are dry or compost toilets?


Dry and compost toilets are environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional toilets. They do not require water for flushing, which is important for water conservation. Read more about the difference between a dry and a compost toilet below.

We have been selling eco toilets since 1991! You can divide them into two groups, the small and compact dry toilets and the larger compost toilets. In short, we are at your service with a lot of experience.

What is a dry toilet?

The Dry Toilet is a ‘small’ toilet that uses no water and no chemicals! That is why it is also called a dry toilet. Feces and urine are collected in the toilet. Some models separate the urine, then only poo and paper enter the bucket and urine is kept separate. Some models have a built-in ventilation, which ensures that there are no odors in the toilet and the contents dry!

Only once every 2-3 or 4 weeks (!) the bucket with biological bag needs to be changed.

Did you know! Did you know that with a dry toilet you really save 6 to 9 liters per flush, +/- 45 liters per day?!
That is approximately 15,000 liters of drinking water, per person, per year!

What is a compost toilet?

A compost toilet also uses no water and no chemicals. The big difference is the compost toilet collects everything in a large tank under the floor of the house. Thanks to its own ventilation, the toilet is odorless and the contents can start to compost , which is why this toilet is called a compost toilet !

You can also connect several toilets on different floors to 1 compost tank. Because the tank is larger, you no longer have to empty weekly/monthly, like the dry toilet, but remove a wheelbarrow of composted material once every 2-3 years. Example models are the Clivus Multrum M100 , M150 and M300 . These can be either with a ready-made house such as Dalsland (also for the disabled ) or Gypsy .

Why should you use a dry toilet?

We humans use more and more water, such as long showers, rain showers, flushing toilets, filling the swimming pool and so on.


But in nature you notice that it is getting warmer and raining less, causing more and more dehydration – shortage. With a dry or compost toilet you can save around 15,000L of DRINKING WATER per person per year!  At the same time, you also save on the very dirty ‘black’ waste water.

Where are dry compost toilets used?

Dry toilets can be used everywhere , in the home, Tiny House, Chalet, Boat or yacht, camper or caravan, in the shack on the construction site. But it can also be used on a golf course, nature reserve, nature campsite, etc. Why? Because the dry compost toilet is not connected to the sewage system. In addition, they are compact and small and fit anywhere.

Here at our company ECOSAVE, we already use the Clivus compost toilet and only use water to wash our hands. In use at ECOSAVE since 1995 and in 25 years we saved 1,500,000L of water! Compost toilets are widely used in large homes, golf courses, allotments, nature reserves and nature campsites. See here various reference projects at home and abroad.

No drains, no sewers needed, no ventilation. Add some wood shavings regularly to absorb the urine and cover the top layer. Some models have a fan. Simple and easy to apply, during a renovation, relocation, allotment garden, in the shack, etc.

The incineration toilet is a special dry toilet, it uses no water and no chemicals, but ‘burns’ the toilet material. Do not really burn, but heat to 500 – 600 Celsius. Like a toaster, spirals are safely heated with the result that urine evaporates and poop and paper turn to ash! This is done 100% safely, you cannot reach the heating and there are safeguards in it. After about 1 month you can empty the ashes from the ash drawer in the garden, or dispose of it at the GFT. Ash is not waste but a raw material! The energy consumption can be compared with a microwave between 850 and 1600W. It is also often used by freelancers who receive people at home, so you have a hygienic solution that can in principle be placed anywhere. Single models;

5.3 Separett Cindi Family for 3-4+ people or intensive use.

6.1. Freeze 2000

This toilet is also a DRY TOILET, because it does not use water, but as the name suggests, this toilet FREEZES all your stools. This toilet is an advanced system, built in such a way that it can receive temperatures of -18 degrees. You would say ‘isn’t my body freezing here at the toilet?’ No, not that, but it would be a bit colder there between the legs.

In 1939 Rikard Lindstrom (Stockholm) invented the Clivus Multrum and also won an International prize for it. This Clivus still works after 90 years (!)!

As mentioned at the outset, compost toilets have a larger tank under the floor. All the material is composted in that tank. You can connect several toilets to the compost tank, both on the ground floor and on the first floor. The toilets are directly above the tank and therefore everything falls directly into the compost tank. Thanks to its own fan on the compost tank, air is drawn down into the toilet to bring oxygen into the compost heap, to remove possible odors and to evaporate moisture. The toilet is therefore always fresh and odorless, a great experience!

Maintenance; Check the contents 1-2x a year, level with a rake. Only after 2-3 years you can only remove about 1 wheelbarrow of composting material per year. Possibly also compost tea.

These special urinals do not use water either! Thanks to a special stainless steel or plastic valve that immediately closes the drain pipe after use, there are no odors. We have simple dry urinals in brown plastic that are often used in a garden house, an allotment garden, in a nature reserve or at events. But we also have various white porcelain urinals for the home, catering or business. Again, these dry urinals can save up to 7,500L of water per person annually ! In a catering facility, 100,000L of water per year!
