Hello all, Just thought I'd toss in on the composting toilet question. I just purchased a composting toilet direct from Sun-Mar. While Sun-Mar does market units that are plumbed to a digester located on some floor beneath the stool, my unit is self-contained. All the working parts (myself included) are all located in the bathroom. This model has a fan that draws air through vents and "the hole" and blows the fun stuff outside. There is a small heating unit in the digester that helps the composting process progress. The heater can be turned off (no switch, have to detach a wire in the back of the toilet) once the, well you know, has reached critical mass and temperature. Call me strange, but I think the whole process (processing?) is amazing and kind of fun actually. I'd rather be making beer, but concidering that some natural functions can't be avoided, you might as well make them interesting. If Sun-Mar has a motto or needs one, I suggest, "Bathrooms, there not for just reading anymore." You're all welcome to stop by and take the Sun-Mar for a test drive . . .
