USING YOUR NATURE’S  HEAD

The waterless, urine separating design contributes the extraordinary 

holding capacity. The composting section holds approximately 60 to 80 

uses.
The time frame to empty the solids bin varies with number of people 

and the time period. The toilet is designed for 1 to 4 people full-time.  

Generally, two people full-time people’s usage will require emptying 

approximately every 3 weeks; additional people will shorten the time. If 

using just on weekends with 2 people, that can extend time to 2 months 

or more. Just a couple of days of non-use extends the period of time. 

Usually, the level of the compost will not increase; if it does it will be 

minimal.
The urine bottle holds 2.2 gallons and will require more frequent  

emptying; two people might need to empty after 3-4 days.
Before use, it is necessary to add compost 

material to the base of the unit. Gallon size 

“ZIPLOC®” type bags are an inexpensive

one-gallon bags of pre-moistened sphagnum

toilet. The sphagnum peat moss should rise to 

the level of, or cover, the agitator bar in a horizontal position.
The sphagnum peat moss should be damp and crumbly, never wet or

amount of water. When not in use, the lid of the toilet should be in the 

closed position, preventing the entry of insects and allowing proper 

ventilation. The peat moss must be regular/organic sphagnum peat moss, 

no additives. DO NOT use MIRACLE-GRO peat moss.
Do not add additional medium after solids usage. Doing this will result in 

too much sphagnum peat moss or coconut coir in the unit and will limit 

your time of usage before emptying.
The primary concept of our composting toilet is the separation of liquids 

and solid wastes! Be sure to inform your guests as to the proper use of 

your head. This will allow proper composting action and assist your 

guests in feeling comfortable with a new piece of equipment.

unpleasant odor and prevent proper compost action.

Seated usage is recommended. While seated, the unit may be used with 

the trap door in the open or closed position. Whether male or female, the 

user’s liquids and solids will be directed to the correct locations from this 

position. With any bowel movement, the trap door must be open. Male 

stand-up usage is less acceptable as splatter may result. In the event that 

the unit is used in a standing position, the trapdoor must remain closed in 

order to prevent mingling of liquid and solid wastes.

Toilet paper is typically placed in the toilet. Since paper products do not 

decompose as quickly as solid wastes, they will be visible long after the 

solid matter has broken down. Any type of toilet paper is acceptable; 

less substantial brands (such as marine or RV paper) will compost the 

quickest.

Diapers, wipes and tampons should not be placed in the solids bin.  Many 

brands of these items are made from a mix of rayon and non-organic 

cotton, and are commonly chlorine-bleached.  These will not decompose.

water and 2 

oz of white vinegar nearby to spray off the bowl in the event that some 

solid waste adheres to the bowl. Spritzing of the bowl also assists in 

cleansing the urine passages.

All urine has an odor. It will not be noticed with normal use. It will be 

present when the storage container is open to the air for emptying. For 

persistent urine odors in the container, add a few ounces of white vinegar, 

and/or a few drops of Dawn dishwashing soap to reduce this odor.

must be agitated 2-3 revolutions slowly in order to mix the waste into 

the compost and promote the composting process. Contents of the solid 

waste container must be kept moist, not wet, and remain separated from 

the liquid waste.
