RE: Evolving the Tiger toilet part 7
Thank you.
I like how you've worked with the cultures, comforts and customs of the people rather then discarding them and sticking with a standard composting system which arguably uses less water. Too often I come across the attitude that people should just deal with it and change rather than trying to work with them. Yet this works with them, is a beneficial system and obviously still uses less water than our traditional flush systems.
One more question. I have encountered a composting system and you certainly need to be closing the lid when it's not in use as it does smell. Does this system eliminate those smells and would it still reduce them even if it was just a vermicompost toilet?
It may smell better because..
Instead of feces just rotting in soup which is what usually happens
Itll go through the worms who can eat it quickly and turn it to compost
We will see, however the science of the design points towards a better outcome than the status quo
Compost systems have been around for decades and i think they are great.
But they havent gone mainstream
And well we just have to face facts that it doesnt satisfy peoples expectations in sanitation, wrong or right it matters not, just cold reality
So here we are trying to make it more acceptable for everyone.
So this system (touch wood) should smell no worse and possibly better than a regular septic system
Theres an S bend airlock at the user end so no nasty smelling breezes come back up the pipe. In fact the user experience is no different to a regular flush toilet. Unless we tell tjem, and we will, theyd have no idea
