good morning.....tom, i will keep this in mind as i do intend to invest in a nature's head when we make our move in the near future.....steve, i wish you the...
Hi, I got a biolet (can't think of the #) installed and started using it in January. Although I read the instructions I think I'm missing critical pieces of...
Hi Linda. Welcome to the wonderful world of Biolet ownership My wife and I have been using one of these for the last five years. And in that time it has never...
Chris, Thank you so much! I think the newer models try to address the urine/poop ratio with a heating element and a gauge at the front right side where you...
Linda. That is the same system as mine has however I have installed a pump to get rid of excess urine, a problem you will probably not have as you say that you...
Chris, Did I already confess I'd named him Bjorn? Ok, so now I am more confused than ever, I have not yet emptied the tray because I thought it mainly had the...
Linda. There is a hot plate below the tray and a heating element in the circulating air flow to the rear of the toilet and a thermostat adjusted by the dial. ...
hi we too are recent Biolet users. since we are in the middle of AK there is no question of putting anything produced this winter on any gardens. But generally...
Hi Kat. I make my own mulch with a mixture of peat though I understand coir would also be good and more ecologically sound if you didn't count the fact that...
Hello Again Linda and Chris, Chris, thank you for your assistance with Linda. Just a few comments: 1) if you are continuing to see toilet paper dating back...
Hello Linda, I am Jim Weaver, the operations manager for BioLet. I'm sorry to hear that you are confused about the operation of your BioLet. In response to...
It could be carried over by a migrating swallow.... it could grip it by the husk! (Sorry - could not help myself - I grew up on Monty Python). I use the basic...
Hi Kevin, I have the same kind of toilet. I started out with pine shavings aswell, but found that the bucket filled up too fast. Now I use only sawdust....
Hi Jim. Thanks for the input,it is great to hear from someone in the know I wasn't aware of new the new motors and shear pins that is very useful to know. I...
wow I've really hit a can of worms here! Since I'm a newbe I will note that the company instructions state that any use of anything other than their receipe...
Why not run a second compost pile? With the sawdust toilet systems there are not dryers and heaters and such. But there is a 12 month long amount of time for...
Hi Linda Yes the warranty thing is a bit of a problem. I would recommend emptying it in a compost bin, toilet contents and green and brown kitchen/garden waste...
Thanks for all the advice. appreciate the expertise that is out there. When I first moved to this area I wrote an article about the state Zoo's composting...
Linda. What about a separate heap for the herbaceous borders only. Let me know how you get on. As to cleaning out the top container, No I don't in fact if...
If one follows the directions given in the Humanure Handbook regarding initial composting and subsequent aging of the contents, one can use cat, primate, etc....
And remember: nothing comes out what you don't put in. If you're a normal healthy person, there's no reason why your poop should be full of pathogens or worms...
... The pile's core temperature may be anwywhere from a little bit cooler to a lot warmer. The surface of the pile acts as insulation, so the core can be...
I take your point on the accuracy of measuring flue gasses hence my provision in brackets however with the Biolet the contents of the top section are...
I too suffer from shear pin hell. It went through a half dozen roll pins faster than a bag o chips. So - now I've gons solid, but here's the valuble trick I...
I feel your pain brother, but do like your idea for getting shear pins installed without disassembling the Motor/gearbox, that is a very neat solution. I take...
Just reporting in - I emptied the bin!! It was bone dry, not a drop of moisture but it looked like humus just as promised. And since it was largely the...
Congratulations Linda, however it really does sound as though it is too dry, in which case yes the thermostat may well need lowering composting need a moisture...
Chris, I am soooo glad I found you. I'm printing your message out and saving it. I don't believe the toilet came with extra pins (unless like the other 2...
I am starting to build a compost toilet, and need some advice. I am building a twin chambered vaulted toilet that is an external build. As a result the toilet...
Hi, Alex. Off the cuff, that sounds like a good size in a warm climate. With two people using it, it should take a few years to fill. I built one of that size...
