Toilet bowls for dachas are special devices, the functioning of which does not require digging a cesspool or installing a septic tank. The principle of their operation is based on the processing of waste poured into a storage tank using chemical or biological means.
This type of toilet is best suited for a dacha; it is perhaps the only one that can rightfully be called a dry closet. Unlike a chemically cleaned toilet, it completely eliminates the use of any chemicals. As a result of the operation of such a toilet, you receive not only absolutely safe waste, but also very high-quality natural fertilizers - compost.
These devices require the installation of a ventilation system and are therefore permanently installed.
The dimensions of such toilets are somewhat larger than traditional ones, but despite this, it is quite easy to find an acceptable place for them.
Principle of operation
Externally, such a device for a summer residence is very similar to a chemical or electric toilet, but it is designed differently. The design consists of a waste collection container located under the seat and a peat reservoir connected to the lower tank using a dispenser valve.
The device works as follows. Waste that ends up in the receiving tank is covered with a layer of peat from the external tank. The main part of the liquid is absorbed by peat and composted, and its remains evaporate through the ventilation pipe.
If the use of such a toilet is very active and the liquid does not have time to be absorbed sufficiently, its excess is discharged outside. For this purpose, a drainage hole with a drain hose is provided.
As the lower container is filled with waste, it is emptied into a compost pit, where the mixture matures to a state acceptable for use as fertilizer. This process lasts for about a year, after which the compost is removed and used to nourish the vegetation on the site.
Waste is removed from the storage tank as it is filled.
The frequency of waste removal directly depends on the capacity of the tank and the intensity of use of such a toilet. For example, a garden toilet with a tank capacity of 120 liters, regularly used by four adults, will have to be cleaned no more than once a month.
With such a design of a country toilet, it is very important to properly arrange exhaust ventilation. The best way to do this is to install a pipe in the toilet pipe and take it outside the room - outside. The pipe must protrude at least a meter above the roof of the room, and its total length must be more than 4 - 5 meters.
This ventilation design will minimize the likelihood of unpleasant odors.
The advantages of such dry toilets
A peat or composting toilet for a summer house is rightfully considered the best design among summer residents. It has undeniable advantages, which are confirmed by numerous reviews from happy owners of such a device:
And finally, we must say about the main advantage of this design, no matter what peat toilet you choose, there are absolutely no negative reviews about it.
Extremely rare, isolated dissatisfaction is associated either with its incorrect installation, or with the acquisition of a very cheap, “gray” device of unknown origin.
Flaws
Important! To maximize the quality of operation of a composting toilet, it should be loaded only with special mixtures, which, in addition to peat and sawdust, contain a strictly dosed amount of the necessary biobacteria that promote high-quality waste processing.
What to consider when choosing?
Choosing a peat toilet is, in general, simple; it comes down to determining the required size of the storage tank and the corresponding size of the device itself - it must fit in the space intended for it.
And yet, no matter what toilet you choose, there are details that are worth paying attention to:
As a rule, such composting toilets for summer cottages in the basic version are equipped with drainage pipes, filters and ventilation pipes. High-quality samples are equipped with shut-off valves for the ventilation pipe, which prevent the entry of insects. Pay special attention to the quality of the fit of the toilet lid to its neck - it should be as tight as possible.
This toilet is equipped with one tank, into which a mixture of peat and microorganisms is initially poured. When waste enters such a tank, it is heated to evaporate excess moisture and mixed with a special device, and the bioflora of the peat mixture is activated to break down the waste into fertilizer - compost.
The resulting compost is poured into a tray installed under the tank and removed after it is filled. This compost can be used as fertilizer immediately after it is extracted.
The price of devices of this type is quite considerable - starting from $1,500.
Popularity rating among summer residents
It is believed that the best peat toilet is Finnish, let us allow ourselves to doubt this and give as an example the most popular and in demand devices from different manufacturers in Russia, the majority of which are by no means from Finland.
What consumables are preferable?
Peat toilet moss, used in compost toilets, consists of natural peat and sawdust coniferous species, mixed together in different proportions.
For maximum efficiency of the peat dry closet, it is recommended to load mixtures based on high-moor sphagnum peat with pine shavings, for example a mixture of Piteco B30 and PitecoB50.
Another important point– no matter what mixture you load the peat container with, it should have a moisture content of no more than 30%.
In our opinion, the information presented above quite clearly demonstrates the advantages of peat dry closets in relation to dacha conditions.
By choosing this type of device, you can’t go wrong; on the contrary, in addition to ease of use, you will receive an additional bonus in the form of high-quality free fertilizer - compost.
For people living in suburban villages, the problem of recycling waste products is very acute. But, since there is no centralized sewer system, each resident must fight the problem on their own.
You can simply dig an ordinary outdoor toilet, with all its smells, a lot of insects, and an “amazing” design - many people do just that. But there is much the best option- this is a country peat dry closet. It's not only effective solution problems, but also the most environmentally safe, financially profitable and allowing you to save a lot of nerves and money in the future. Let's consider what are the advantages of this particular technology over its competitors.
What is a biotoilet for a summer residence
The operating principle is simple. When all the work is completed, waste products are sprinkled with a peat mixture. This can be done either with a special dispensing mechanism, or manually with any spatula. Liquid waste passes through the drain hose and is discharged outside the toilet. To do this, you can use various containers, or, if space allows, lower them into a cesspool. The absence of odor is guaranteed by the built-in ventilation pipe. Its height, to achieve maximum efficiency, should be at least 2.5-3 meters.
Tip 1: Quality work ventilation depends on the vertical installation of the pipe. No bends should be made. Read about.
When using this type of toilet on the site, you need to remember about negative temperatures. This sewage system is most effective in warm climates. This is due to the work of bacteria. When processing waste, they have their own operating temperature limits. When it's cold outside, the effectiveness of bacteria drops sharply. Also, frost outside can cause the water in the drainage pipe to freeze. Therefore, if the toilet is planned to be used all year round, both in warm and cold weather, then you need to consult with specialists and make changes to the installation of the sewer system.
Tip 2: During the construction of a major peat toilet, it is advisable to use varnish and paint for external work, this will extend the service life of the entire structure.
Toilet maintenance
The costs of maintaining this sewer system in the country are lower than those of competitors. There is no need for a huge amount of special liquids and chemical reagents, or additional communications. All you need is to install the toilet itself and purchase a peat mixture. The only small difficulty that owners of a dry closet will have to face is cleaning it. But with a little skill, everything is done within a short period of time. If this mobile version- cleaning is carried out once every few weeks or more often, depending on convenience. And if a permanent structure for a summer residence is installed, then cleaning is carried out once or twice a year. To avoid wasting time and effort, you can call professional specialists or .
Tip 3: For proper ventilation and complete odor elimination, it is better to keep the toilet lid closed.
What to look for when choosing a peat dry closet?
Despite the fact that the term “dry toilet” is very widespread today, in reality only a few toilets can be called a dry closet, including peat ones. Why?
- Firstly, it is in this type of toilet that waste after processing is converted into fertilizer for the garden. This happens not with the help of chemical ingredients or additional liquids, but only with the help of ordinary bacteria found in peat.
- Secondly, when choosing a toilet, you may be advised of models that are not divided into sorting liquids and solid waste. Despite the low price, this model will be no different from a regular waste bucket into which you will pour peat. Not only does the efficiency of the system disappear, but the technology itself will not work, since it is based on separating liquid waste from solid waste using a special drainage drain.
- Thirdly, a dry closet that runs on peat is effective not only in terms of the fertilizers it produces, but also in terms of comfort during use. Unlike other models and technologies, peat, using its bactericidal properties, allows you to get rid of odor.
- Fourthly. When choosing a toilet, you need to pay attention to the number of people living. If few people live in the country, then it is possible to get by with a small tank volume and choose a compact version; if the family is large, then you need to take a closer look.
Today there are a huge number of toilets and autonomous sewers on the market, so each buyer chooses the option most suitable for their own needs. But if installation is required at the dacha, and fertilizer is constantly used, a peat toilet can be called the undisputed favorite.
Advantages and disadvantages
Like any product, a peat toilet has its advantages and disadvantages. Let's consider the main ones:
Advantages.
- When installing any device that handles human waste, water is needed, which means additional costs for connecting communications. In our case this problem does not exist. Water is not needed when using this type of toilet.
- Compared to other dry toilets, a peat toilet allows you to clean the tank less often than competitors.
- Waste after processing not only does not pollute environment, but allow you to save on fertilizer and bring benefits to the household.
- The price of the entire sewerage system is lower than its competitors.
- From Supplies only peat is required, and this is a good saving on the maintenance of the facility.
- Almost complete absence odors, thanks to the design and built-in ventilation.
Flaws.
- Installing a ventilation system can complicate construction work.
- Installing drainage creates additional problems when installing a toilet in a country house. Qualified specialists are required to work with the structure.
- After installation, the toilet cannot be moved to another place if it is a permanent structure. Read
The advantage of any dry toilet in the country is the speed of installation, the ability to move to another place, and environmental friendliness of use. However, the only one that justifies the definition of “biological” is the peat toilet. Unlike toilets of this type with chemical cleaning, the use of chemical reagents is eliminated during its operation. The result of the operation of such a toilet is the production of natural fertilizer for the garden and vegetable garden - compost.
Principle of operation
The operation of a peat dry closet is based on the principle of converting waste into compost. This happens thanks to biologically active components. In a peat toilet, such a biological component is peat. A peat mixture can also be used - peat with sawdust.
The operating principle is based on the property of peat to absorb (absorb) human waste products. The resulting compost, mixed with soil, can serve as an excellent fertilizer. Peat primarily processes the solid components of feces, which results in the need to drain excess water outside.
The operating principle of a peat toilet, based on the biological decomposition of waste, promotes its separation into solid, liquid and gaseous components. Peat has disinfecting properties, its use eliminates unpleasant odors.
Device
Externally, a peat toilet for a summer residence is similar to its counterparts - chemical and electric dry closets, but is designed somewhat differently. The design is simple. The body of the peat toilet is made of high quality plastic.
The basis of the design of the simplest peat toilets is a large bucket on which a seat with a tight-fitting lid is installed. There is a waste container under the seat. Above it there is a second container for the peat mixture, which must be poured into the lower container before and after using the toilet for its intended purpose.
It is not difficult to understand how the backfill mechanism works. It varies depending on the model. Possible direct fall asleep with a scoop. More expensive models have special mechanical devices that operate when the handles are turned. The mixture is poured into a waste container in measured doses. This happens thanks to a special valve - a dispenser.
The design provides space for installing a ventilation pipe, through which the remaining liquid not absorbed by the peat and carbon dioxide evaporate. If the toilet is installed in the house, the ventilation pipe must be vented outside.
When the toilet is used too actively and a lot of liquid remains, it is drained outside using a drain hose passing through the drainage hole provided for this purpose. A reasonable arrangement is to allow the contents of the hose to flow directly into the compost bin.
Characteristics when choosing
How to choose a peat toilet for your dacha, characteristics you should pay attention to:
- Dimensions. It must be placed in the place intended for it.
- Waste container volume. Determines the frequency of emptying. The number of users should be taken into account. If you buy a toilet with a large tank, if it will be used by a small number of people, you will have to empty it half-empty, since the waste cannot sit in there for too long.
- The tightness of the lid to the seat.
- The presence of wheels on the tank. Makes it easier to empty.
- Availability of a filling indicator.
- Permissible load depending on the strength of the material.
- Equipment.
- Design.
- Price.
All models have a high-class exterior. Their appearance can decorate any room. The presence of different colors will allow you to choose the one you need and will not introduce dissonance into the interior of the dacha if the dry closet is installed indoors.
The choice of peat toilets is quite large. The acquisition of such a useful device is possible for both people with low incomes and those with high demands. Which one to choose depends on the expected operating conditions and financial capabilities.
Installation and care
Installing a peat toilet is possible both inside the dacha itself and in the yard in a separate building, so choosing a place is not difficult. It does not require water to function, so there is no risk of freezing in frosty weather. The plastic housing can withstand low temperature.
The advantage of peat dry toilets compared to electric ones is the ability to quickly install them anywhere without wiring electricity.
Caring for peat toilets involves regularly removing the contents of the bottom tank and disinfecting it. It is necessary to fill the upper tank with peat or mixture in a timely manner. At the end summer season The bottom container should be emptied.
Exploitation
The operation of a peat toilet comes down to regularly filling the upper tank with peat filler and timely emptying the waste container. There is no need to fill the peat to capacity. Most manufacturers recommend filling the container 2/3 full. When the waste tank is completely full, it becomes quite heavy, so you will have to empty it more often. The lid of a peat toilet should be kept tightly closed to prevent odor.
The top tank has a built-in peat feeding mechanism, operated by a special handle. The volume of peat poured out will depend on the number of revolutions. It is necessary to experimentally adjust the force applied to the handle, otherwise the peat will crumble unevenly.
If the number of users is large, then the peat will not cope with all the liquid. To drain it, it is recommended to install a hose through which the liquid will be drained into the soil using a drainage system.
The frequency of waste disposal depends on two factors: the capacity of the tank and the number of people regularly using the toilet. On average, you will have to clean the tank once a month. The mass should be poured into a compost pit.
Peat
Peat used in peat toilets can be purchased in specialized stores. It consists of a mixture of natural peat and sawdust from coniferous trees. Piteco B30 and PitecoB50 mixtures have proven themselves well. The humidity of any mixture should not exceed 30%. When purchasing granular peat mixtures, the efficiency of use is greatly increased.
compost pit
The contents of peat toilets cannot be used immediately. It must be kept for some time in a compost pit, which you can make yourself or purchase a ready-made composter. It is better to purchase a garden composter that is not an open type, but one that closes with a lid.
To create a higher temperature, it makes sense to cover the waste with black textile material. This will speed up the process of obtaining high-quality compost.
The contents of the lower container of the peat toilet are emptied into the composter, after which it should be covered with earth. The decomposition processes will stop after about a year, and then the compost can be used as fertilizer.

The post Peat toilet for a summer residence: operating principle and advantages (20 photos) appeared for the first time.
Installing a toilet in a summer cottage without the ability to drain into the central sewer system and without a full water supply is an extremely difficult task. So summer residents and owners of country houses decide this issue as it is more convenient for them.
But today, the market offers a simple and convenient solution to a pressing problem - purchasing a dry closet.
Peat toilet - a country option for comfort
The advantage of a dry closet over a traditional closet:
- Mobility (portability). It can be installed anywhere on the site or in the house. And also move if necessary;
- it can be used when the main toilet has not yet been built or the house is undergoing major renovations;
- low installation cost and ease of maintenance are perhaps the main arguments in favor of purchasing a dry closet.
But, there are several types of dry toilets on the market:
- composting (composting) or biological;
- liquid or chemical;
- electric – a symbiosis of two types. An electric dry closet works on the composting principle, but requires a connection to the network. And this is already accompanied by a number of difficulties (conditions, requirements).
Here we will look at this type of bio-toilet for the dacha as a peat toilet.
What is the advantage of a peat dry closet over other types? To answer these and other questions, we studied what a peat toilet is, its design and principle of operation, and also collected user opinions (reviews) on the operation of this unit.
What is a peat toilet?
This is a dry toilet, the basis of which is the principle of composting. That is, the transformation of waste into compost thanks to the work of biologically active components. Such a component in a peat toilet is peat or a peat mixture (peat mixed with sawdust).
Peat has bactericidal properties, which means that in addition to its main purpose - decomposing waste and absorbing liquid, its use will help get rid of odors. The main advantage of peat as an active substance (filler) is its naturalness, environmental safety and the possibility of using waste as fertilizers.
Why is a peat toilet better suited for a summer house?
Quite often, summer residents prefer a peat toilet over other types. This is, in principle, understandable, because the advantages of a peat toilet are as follows:
- no need for water supply and sewerage;
- Absolutely environmentally friendly. Unlike liquid toilets, peat toilets do not harm the soil;
- the ability to process human waste into compost by laying a compost pit/heap (organic fertilizer);
- the ability to turn food waste into compost;
- the problem of waste disposal is solved. For example, a liquid toilet does not completely solve the problem of waste disposal. It simply reduces their number and turns them into a solid substance. Then they still need to be put somewhere. Discharge into a reservoir or into the soil on the site is excluded, since not all liquids are safe.
Note: today manufacturers offer third-generation flushing fluids that meet sanitary standards and are environmentally friendly. But their cost is very high.
- hygiene. The waste recycling process in this type of toilet is “dry”, which is more acceptable from the point of view of hygiene and aesthetics;
- low frequency of unloading. The period is determined by the number of users and the frequency of use of the device. Usually it varies depending on the model and type of peat mixture, but is at least 1 month.
Note: Manufacturers indicate toilet filling time per user.
- price. The purchase of a toilet and peat are the main expense items for the owners of these units. By the way, buying peat is easier and cheaper than special chemical liquids for dry closets;
- natural air exchange. This eliminates odors;
- ergonomic design;
- resistance to frost and mechanical damage;
- compliance with sanitary requirements.
Like any dry toilet, a peat toilet also has disadvantages. Among them, it is necessary to highlight the stationary nature of the installation and the need for ventilation.
Construction of a peat toilet
The design of a peat bio toilet is shown in the figure.
As can be seen from the diagram, the toilet design has three components:
- Upper container. Designed for storing peat mixture. There is also a mechanism for uniform distribution of peat with a rotary handle.
- Lower capacity. Designed for waste recycling. Tank volume from 44 to 230 l. But more practical, and therefore more popular, are models with a tank of 100-140 liters. A toilet with a lid is installed on the lower container.
At the same time, the body of the peat toilet is made of high quality plastic. Required condition during its manufacture it is resistant to low temperatures and aggressive environments.
- Ventilation tube. The pipe comes out of the lower container and helps remove the liquid component of the waste. In addition, installing a ventilation pipe allows you to get rid of unpleasant odors. Pipe height up to 4 m.
How a peat toilet works
The operation of a peat toilet is based on the biological process of decomposition. Waste, falling into the lower tank and mixing with peat, becomes a source of nutrition for soil microorganisms, which contribute to the separation of waste into components:
- solids (compost);
- liquid (water vapor, which partially goes into the soil and partially evaporates through the ventilation pipe);
- gaseous (carbon dioxide also comes out through the ventilation pipe).
How to use a peat toilet?
Operation (use) of a peat toilet comes down to several actions. Peat or a mixture (filler) is poured into the upper tank. The amount of mixture to be filled is regulated by the manufacturer, but most of them recommend filling the container 2/3 full.
Advice. Filling the stop with peat can lead to damage to the mechanism for feeding the mixture into the lower tank. Then you will have to use a scoop to evenly scatter the peat at its destination.
The upper tank is equipped with a mechanism for feeding peat, which is driven by a handle. The volume of supplied peat depends on the number of turns of the handle and is regulated by the user. It is worth noting that quite often there are complaints from users about the mechanism for dispersing the peat mixture. It crumbles unevenly. It all depends on the force applied to the handle.
Ventilation is an essential component of a peat toilet. The ventilation pipe should have as few angles as possible. The higher the pipe, the more efficient the system will work.
Advice. The toilet lid on a peat toilet should always be kept closed. This will eliminate the possibility of odor.
If the number of users is more than 5, it is worth installing forced ventilation. But this already involves the supply of electricity.
At significant amount users, peat may not cope with the volume of incoming liquid, which means it is necessary to consider its drainage. To do this, manufacturers recommend installing a hose to drain the liquid into the soil through the drainage system.
Advice. Before buying a peat toilet, consider where it will be installed. You must have the opportunity to arrange ventilation and drainage of liquid.
The lower tank takes quite a long time to fill, but sooner or later it will become a question of cleaning it. This is not a complicated procedure. Many models of peat toilets are equipped with special handles or even wheels, which allow you to easily move the contents of the container into the compost pit.
Advice. A fully filled lower tank is quite heavy. Therefore, it is better to empty it more often.
Country peat toilet - installation, care and conservation
As for the place where the toilet is installed, there are no problems with this - it can be installed in the house or on the street. Since water is not needed for operation, the possibility of freezing in frost is eliminated and, accordingly, the upper tank will not be damaged (it will not freeze). The plastic from which the unit’s body is made can withstand low temperatures and exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
Care involves promptly emptying the contents of the lower tank and periodically disinfecting it. As well as timely filling of the upper tank with peat mixture.
Advice. Buy granular peat mixtures. Although they are slightly more expensive, waste absorption efficiency increases by up to 400%.
Preservation is necessary if the toilet is not used for a long time. Most often this happens in winter. Preservation involves emptying the bottom container.
Compost pit for the toilet - put it to good use
Manufacturers declare that the contents of the lower container can be used as fertilizer. However, it is not. Or rather, not quite like that. For this substance to be beneficial, the compost must be kept in a compost pit/heap.
What compost pits are there, and how to make a compost pit with your own hands
- Thermocomposter. To arrange it, you need to dig a hole in the area or make a compost container and dump waste from the tank there.
Advice. The waste should be covered with black geotextile. This will create more high temperature and speed up the process of turning waste into compost.
- Garden composter. You can also install a garden composter in a dug hole. It can be open, but it is better to buy one that closes with a lid. It’s safer, more aesthetically pleasing and less attractive to flies. The appearance of the composter with and without a lid is shown in the photo.
After installing the composter, you can empty the lower reservoir of the peat toilet, as well as clear the area of leaves, grass and other organic debris. To remove compost from the composter, simply remove some of the plates from either side.
Advice. After the contents of the tank are placed in the composter, you need to cover it with soil. After six months or a year, the decomposition processes in the compost will stop, and it can be used as a full-fledged fertilizer.
- Vermicomposter. This approach to composting involves processing waste in a compost bin using worms. After processing by these organisms, vermicompost is obtained - a substrate similar to soil.
Any of these types allows you to obtain high-quality and absolutely safe fertilizer for the soil on your site.
Which peat toilet is better to choose?
What characteristics are important to pay attention to when buying a peat dry closet:
- dimensions. It must “fit” where it is supposed to be installed. Special attention You need to pay attention to the height of the toilet. In portable models, it is much less than the usual height of a stationary toilet;
- volume of the lower container. It will determine the intensity of use and frequency of emptying. Depends on the number of users and the period of use of the toilet;
Advice. You should not buy a large tank if only 1-2 people use it. The waste cannot remain in the tank for a long time; it will need to be cleaned half-empty.
- fill indicator. Its presence will help to clean the container in time;
Manufacturers of peat toilets
Domestic users have managed to evaluate many models of peat toilets from various manufacturers. Judging by the reviews, the most comfortable use is provided by:
Compact EKO. Russia
Ekomatic L&T. Finland
Piteco. Russia
Mulltoa. Sweden
Biolan. Russia
The price of a peat dry closet on the domestic market starts from $170 and can reach 2.5 thousand (typical for an electric peat dry closet).
By the way, you should not save on purchasing a peat dry closet. After all, this is a purchase that will last for decades. Therefore, in the battle between price and quality, give priority to the quality and reliability of the peat toilet.
