Installation of compost toilet
Hi everyone,
So sweet that ice-out is here! I'd like to install a composting or incinerator toilet to my island property. Does anyone know if I need to get state approval for this to be done or can it be just installed? Also, any input on folks' experiences with these and specific brands/models to look for (or stay away from) would be much appreciated!!! Thanks and happy boating! Lake Guy |

Some Towns on the Lake allow them others don't, you need to check with the building inspector. Sun Mar is the ONLY way to go, another good piece of advise is to go with the biggest "Central" unit possible. This is truly a case of go big or go home.

Three Mile Island Camp has used a six hole Clivus Multrum setup for about a decade now with great success.
http://www.clivusmultrum.com/ I think that their offerings run more to the commercial/institutional side of things as opposed to residential, but they might be worth checking out. At the very least, I can tell you that the Town of Meredith allows composting toilets on island property. I can't remember what kind of state approval, if any, was necessary before installation. |

I'm the "Dan" that got that message and I never laughed so hard in my life when reading it. Needless to say, I changed my mind on the incinerator toilet!!

I know it wasn't intended to be so, but that is one of the funniest posts I ever read here!
"If you flush the unit while sitting, you would not have to worry about shaving anything for a long time." I laughed out loud at that one, and a few others too! |
