Completely Organic!

Our toilet is completely organic in that it has no smelly or hazardous chemicals. The only thing you have to add to our toilet is peat moss. The peat moss actually works to break down the solid wastes and turn them into fertilizer or compost.

No Odors!

Because our toilet separates the liquids from the solids (to put it politely), it doesn’t smell bad. It’s when you mix the urine and the solids that you get the really bad odors associated with sewage. When working properly the toilet will have a slight earthy smell when you open it.

High Capacity!

Because the liquids are not mixed with the solid wastes you get an exceptional amount of uses before you need to empty the unit. For example; a couple using their boat or cabin on the weekends may go an entire summer without having to empty the solid’s tank. The front liquid tank is approximately 2.2 gallons and will need to be emptied more frequently. We empty ours into the marina toilet.

No Plumbing, No Water!

Our toilet is called a dry toilet because it uses no water for flushing. That’s right; there is no plumbing to attach to our toilet. This is yet another reason for the exceptional capacity.

No Pump-Outs, No Porta-Potties to Empty!

Unlike any other type of toilet, the longer you let a composting toilet sit, the better it will smell when it’s time to empty it. No more having to deal with pump-outs or smelly portable-potties at the end of your long weekend. The longer a composting toilet sits the more time it has to do its job.

Economical!

Out toilet is very economical to operate; there are NO chemicals to buy. We purchased a bale of peat moss from “Lowe’s” more than two years ago for $10.00 and we’re still using it.

Easy Installation!

Easy to install; the unit attaches to the floor with two small l brackets. There is one ventilation hose to run outside and one 12volt power hook-up for a small computer type fan. The unit could even be run completely powerless by running the vent hose to a solar vent. (Please see or installation instructions for additional information)

Easy Empty!

When it’s time to empty your toilet simply flip the two latches on the sides and lift the upper section up a few inches. Put the lid on the liquid bottle and lift it out of its holder. To empty the main tank un-hook the 12 volt power connector and the vent hose and then slide the upper section off its open ended hinge. Undo the 2 thumb screws on the base and it’s ready to empty. Because there are no liquids in the main tank, even full it is never heavy. The unit is sized so that a kitchen garbage bag will go over the end of the main tank. Simply flip it over and you’re done. There is no need to clean the tank when you empty it, any left-over matter will help start the composting process all over again.

What our Customers Say ...

Love it!! Thank you for coming up with this design. My husband and I have crawled all over the web looking for something just like this and it's actually affordable (when compared to toilets made by SunMar and similar companies). We'll be ordering one for our Airstream. many of the classic Airstreams on the road today need the bathroom remodeled and I can't think of a better choice for a replacement toilet. A bonus: is frees up space under the toilet where the black water tank would go. Now it can be used for some other purpose (storing my husband's tools comes to mind). Thanks!

Hi, just a short note to tell you how easy it was to install our Nature's Head. I bought two units and put one in while a cruising neighbor watched. He actually talked me into selling him one of my units and installed it in his boat. They work great! I'll reorder a second one in a bit, I'm redoing my 12 volt system as part of a refit before taking a 3 year extended cruise around the world. I'll continue to spread the word and if anybody in the St. Pete area wants to see it give them my email. I'll be happy to show them.

Regards,

The toilet has worked great! I have a 30' Pearson 1976 which I got a few years ago. The holding tank was way too small and took up room in what would have been a wet locker. It always smelled. It is illegal to pump over board and the pump out stations were most of the time not functioning. With four people on a 3 day weekend the holding tank would soon be overflowing. I looked at replacing the holding tank for a larger size but that reduced space further. I then started looking at composting toilets. The short answer is the first season in Maine the toilet worked like a charm. It doesn't smell. Was simple to install and I was able to use the composting portion for the whole season with about every weekend use and a week family vacation with at one weekend 7 people on board! Urine disposal is quick and easy. It fits great in a cloth grocery bag and you simply dump it at the marina toilet. The only addition I am going to make is add an extra urine tank as we moor at islands that do not have marinas. The product works like a charm and I don't have to worry about what my kids are swimming in.
