The AirHead Composting Toilet is a convenient installation for mobile lifestyles and adventuring escapades because it eliminates the need for water flushing. It is easy to use, has a female-friendly design, and is water efficient, making it suitable for standard home use and one of the best composting toilets on the market.

The AirHead composting toilet helps you to conserve the environment, enrich local ecosystems, and maintain fresh air in restrooms that lack water connections. Mobile accommodations are space-deprived, and this composting toilet is compact so you can make the most of your limited space.

This toilet features a fan shroud that eliminates odors by drying out the solid waste after liquids decant away.

How It Works

This AirHead is a waterless toilet, which means you can go without flushing. It diverts urine from solids, allowing the solids to dry up and compost in three months. Moreover, the composed solids occupy minimal space, and they offer agricultural value.

The liquids divert into a tank that is smaller than the solids hatch and placed on the lower front of the AirHead to allow easy removal. This allows you to take out the liquids easily and leave the solid wastes to compost over the months. The urine bottle is compact and capable of holding ten liters so you can go a day or two before emptying it.

This composting toilet is electric, and a 12-volt, shroud fan keeps sewage smells at bay. You only need to plug the AirHead into a power switch, and you can enjoy odorless, no water, and no chemical flushing. When you go, liquids decant into the urine tank. A simple, waterless flush plunges the deposit into the compact solids hatch, which is spacious enough to take 60 comfortable visits.

Like most modern composting toilets, it is waterless and self-contained. Even when gents urinate into the AirHead while standing, the solids hatch will trickle the liquids back into the front urine bottle. Select between a paper liner in the bowl or commissioned coir, which provides a smooth carriage when you open the solids hatch for a waterless flush.

Problems

AirHead works best for low-frequency users, and big families and busy accommodations may not get the three months needed for complete, solid waste composting.

Urine sterilizes the soil, and you should not repeatedly empty the urine bottle on the same garden spot. Moreover, it is illegal to spill urine directly overboard, and you should find islands to dispose of the waste when on public waterways.

Spilling urine into waterways causes the rapid growth of weeds that interrupt ecosystems, contaminate aquatic species, and impede sailing activities.

Dimensions

AirHeads come in two varieties:

1. Standard: for off-grid households and family use.
2. Marine: for limited spaces on boats and trailers.

The accommodating dimensions of the Standard AirHead include:

• 19.7 inches tall.
• 19 inches front to rear.
• 18.78 inches at its widest.
• 12.3 inches wide at the base.
• 14.12 inches wide at the seat.

The Marine Air Head is 19.7 inches tall and 17.5 inches from the front to the rear. It also has a cutaway base for a tighter fit with the hull, which makes it suitable for small spaces.

Dimensions are a critical consideration when choosing composting toilets because different houses, boats, and trailers have different sizes of space available.
