 Composting is assisted by worms, added 1 year after startup. Toilets are either waterless or foam based and sit directly above the composting unit. The waterless toilets connect to the composting unit directly via a 14” diameter polyethylene shoot. The foam flush toilets have a 4” hole at the bottom of the bowl with opens into the shoot. The foam flush toilets need to be “flushed” before and after each use. Ventilation occurs by drawing air down the shoot, through the composting unit, then up a vent stack. The system includes a compost tea tank and removal pump that allows for the compost tea to be stored and distributed for land applications.

-Estimated Equipment Price for system: $10,000 for a system with two waterless toilets, or $15,000 for a system with two foam flush toilets. Individually sold, the waterless toilets are $425 per fixture and the foam flush toilets are $2700 per fixture. For the waterless fixture there are no consumables. For the foam flush, $185 per year should be budgeted for the foam producing soap.

+== Maintenance ==
-The system requires infrequent maintenance, but the maintenance performed requires close interaction with the compost media as it is in progress. Every 2-3 months, bulking material needs to be added. Pine shavings, which can be procured from most farm supply stores are recommended, but in general the bulking agent should be light and a wood which is easy to break down. Cedar should not be used since it is resistant to break down.  At the same time that bulking material is added, the cone that develops at the base of the toilet needs to be knocked down. There is a “toe” to the compost tank which is intended to serve as a finishing area for compost. Compost is moved to the toe manually (the operator rakes is) and only needs to be removed about once every 5-7 years.
