INSTALLATION, continued

Hose Length

Some installations may require increased hose lengths which may 
be purchased on a per foot basis. PVC pipe, available at most home 
improvement or hardware stores, may also be substituted for longer 
hose sections. 

Floor Construction


bolt may be required. If the installation is on

 

customers have found it convenient to mount the toilet to a section 
of plywood rather than trying to drill masonry. The plywood can be

Electrical Requirements

If regular household current is available (110 volts), the head can be 
powered by a 12 volt Power Transformer (AC Adapter). These may be 
purchased from Nature’s Head, Inc. 

Composting Medium

Some type of composting medium is required. 

Sphagnum Peat Moss:

 The most commonly used material is sphagnum 

peat moss (organic) which is available at most 
garden stores or home improvement stores. It is 
usually available in a shrink-wrapped 3 ft cubic bale 
for $8 to $10. This quantity of sphagnum peat moss 
should sustain use of the head for a year or longer. 
The sphagnum peat moss should be organic, no 
additives.  DO NOT use MIRACLE-GRO peat 
moss, as it is enriched with plant food. 

Coconut Coir: 

Coconut 


coir brick) is also an acceptable composting 
medium. However, it is more costly and 
less readily available. It may be obtained at 
hydroponic gardening outlets or online. The 

bricks on the left weigh 250 grams (a bit more 

than ½ pound each). Coir bricks can be placed in a plastic bag: add 5 
measuring cups of water per brick and let sit for 12 hours. This brick will 
expand to just a little more than 2 ½ gallons.
