Why install a waterless toilet?
Each year a typical suburban home flushes 30,000 litres of potential drinking water down the drain and into sewers. Most Ecoflo composting toilets use no water at all, conserving this precious resource and saving you money in the process.
To Save Money
Apart from the initial low-cost of a combined waterless composting toilet and Greywater system, there are other benefits, compared to on-site treatment systems with flushing toilets - like no service or maintenance contracts, lower electrical costs, fewer moving parts and no pumps. Ecoflo systems provide sustainable alternatives and are less expensive than on-site systems that use flushing toilets, such as aerated waste treatment systems, septic tanks and worm farms. This typically represents an ongoing saving of $500 per year on top of the water saving and initial investment.
For Environmental Benefits
Waste from flushing toilet systems attached to on-site waste water treatment plants is normally treated with harmful chemicals for disinfection, and so much energy is used in the process that most domestic solar power systems cannot handle the load. Ecoflo’s waterless composting toilets use a natural biological process, are environmentally-friendly and help return nutrients to the soil. Most systems consume minimal electrical power.
To Be Self-Sufficient
With a waterless composting toilet, Greywater system and rainwater tank, your house and garden can be self-sufficient when it comes to water and waste management.
To Add Value to Your Home
Just as water tanks add value to your home, so do waterless composting toilets, as we all strive to minimise water consumption and conserve resources.
