Biounitaz - types and features

During the construction of a country house it is necessary to solve a number of complex problems, among which is the construction of a toilet. The best option is the implementation of an autonomous sewage system, however, this system is costly and allocates space remote from the water intake. Therefore, in some cases, biounitaz for home is the best option, the only thing you need to choose the right device.

Classification of biological toilet bowls

Dry closets lately enjoy wide popularity thanks to simplicity of installation and convenience of operation. They are especially good for country houses, which are visited seasonally, for example, from spring to autumn.

Of course, before you buy such a device, you must familiarize yourself with the existing types of biological toilet bowls, which we will do below:

So, all existing biological toilet bowls are classified according to several criteria:

First of all, when choosing, it is necessary to determine the principle of the operation of the dry closet. Therefore, below we consider in detail all their types and features.

Chemical toilets

Device and principle of operation

Chemical toilet has a fairly simple device and consists of only two departments:

• Upper - Includes water tank, pump, toilet seat and bowl.
• Lower - is a container for the accumulation of waste. Depending on the model, its volume varies between 12-24 liters.

The drive has a valve for cleaning. There is also a pipe through which waste is discharged. Expensive models can be additionally equipped with an indicator showing the filling level of the tank.

Recycling in chemical apparatus is carried out through the use of reagents. They eliminate odors and break down solid fractions.

Tip! Chemical bio toilets for village toilets are as good as for indoor installation.

To operate the device, water is poured into the upper container and a special deodorizing liquid is added, and sanitary liquid is added to the lower one. Such a toilet is quite convenient to use, however, the dumping of waste into the soil is not desirable due to the use of chemical reagents that could harm plants.

It should be noted that safe additives have recently appeared on the market, which, getting into the soil, do not harm the environment. In this case, all recycled waste is a biological fertilizer. Although, such a toilet ceases to be chemical and becomes liquid biological.

How to choose a device

When choosing a chemical toilet bowl, you need to pay attention to the following points:

• The volume of the cumulative capacity - the larger the family size, the greater the cumulative capacity should be. However, it must be borne in mind that a large volume of waste is difficult to handle and empty. Therefore, it is possible that it will be more convenient to carry out a small volume drive more often.
• Pump model - flush systems are of two types:

• piston;
• pump;
• electric

The pump system is more convenient to use than the piston, as it does not require an effort to flush. However, it does not allow to dose a portion of the liquid and control the pressure.

The most convenient is the electrical system. To implement the flush in this case, you just need to press the button.

The only thing in this case, the toilet turns volatile.

• The presence of the liquid filling indicator is a very convenient addition that will allow you to determine in time when it is necessary to remove the liquid. In the absence of an indicator, you will need to constantly look into the container. True, as mentioned above, the price of models with a sensor is higher.
• The presence of a pressure relief valve - allows you to carefully discharge the contents of the tank, i.e. without splashing.

Here, perhaps, is the whole instruction for choosing a chemical apparatus. It should be noted that chemical toilet bowls from both foreign and domestic manufacturers are on sale. The latter have a lower cost with good quality.

Peat toilet bowls

Peat bio-toilet is an excellent alternative to traditional toilet bowls. It allows not only to dispose of waste, but also to provide a garden or garden with fertilizer.

A distinctive feature of these devices is that their work does not require water. Instead, peat is used, which is poured into a special container, resembling a flushing tank. To peat spilled into the toilet, you just need to rotate the dispenser handle.

I must say that in the peat toilet waste is divided into fractions. Therefore, when installing it, you must do it yourself. True, the liquid can be brought out, directly into the soil.

Note! For proper operation of the ventilation system, it is necessary to provide high-quality ventilation in the toilet.

Due to the division of waste into fractions, emptying of the storage tank is less often required than in the case of chemical analogues. However, peat does not completely eliminate odors, which is a disadvantage of such devices.

Electric toilets

This option is the most expensive, but at the same time very convenient. The principle of operation of this device is based on the fact that waste is divided into fractions using an electric compressor.

The accumulated liquid is discharged to the outside through the drainage system, as is the case with the peat toilet bowl. The solid waste container is emptied as necessary.

The advantages of such devices include the fact that they do not require the use of additional liquids or dry mixtures, at the same time. Dried waste can be added to the compost, and it is rarely necessary to empty the drive. However, before making a choice in favor of this toilet, it should be noted that it requires additional costs for electricity.

Here, in fact, all the main types of biological toilet bowls, having familiarized with them, you can make an informed choice of this or that apparatus.

Conclusion

As we found out, today there are three main types of biological toilet bowls. Each of them copes well with the task, however, has its own particular characteristics that must be considered when choosing.
