CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING A ROTA-LOO 2000

The Maxi RL2000 has been designed as a public use toilet facility with capacity for high use 2 toilet pedestals 

(Male and Female). It requires no water, minimal maintenance and leaves no unsanitary waste or ground 

seepage so is particularly suited to environmentally sensitive and ‘out-of-the-way locations.

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.

Do not store your RL2000 in the open.  Please store under cover.
