CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING YOUR NEW ROTA-LOO
The reasons for purchasing a Rota-Loo may be varied. It could be to conserve water, the pursuit of a more
sustainable life style, or that mains sewer is not available. Your decision will help towards conserving
water, reduce waste processing costs and contribute to a more sustainable future.
The first portable composting toilet came into Australia from Sweden in the late 1970’s. From this idea the
Rota-Loo was born, and has been developed and improved over the years to become one of the best
Waterless Composting Toilet (WCT) systems in the world and have been successfully installed and operated
in thousands of places throughout Australia, New Zealand and further afield.
Today, Waterless Composting Toilets are becoming more widely accepted and other products have appeared
on the market. With Rota-Loos installed decades ago still operating well and owners recommending them
to others, the Rota-Loo remains the simplest, most efficient and cost effective WCT
available.
We hope the Rota-Loo fulfills your expectations and that it may even ignite a hidden passion to live a
sustainable lifestyle and pass on the message. If you have difficulty in installing or maintaining your
Rota-Loo, please get in touch with your supplier or through our website at www.rotaloo.com.au.
