The Composting Toilet System Book contains the information you need to choose and maintain composting toilet systems and other alternatives to sewer and septic systems. Long used by off-the-grid homeowners, parks and cottage owners, composting toilet systems are now making their way into conventional year-round homes. The technology has improved and is available in styles compatible with upscale bathrooms. Also, the economics have never been better, as both costs and restrictions for water and sewage are increasing. In addition to providing technical information on various systems, the book profiles composting toilet system applications worldwide, provides United States permitting information, and features key maintenance and operation information that the manufacturers do not provide. The book also contains application information about using these systems with graywater systems and flush toilets. Find out how you can have a smaller leachfield, reduce pollution, and help arm yourself and your community against the skyrocketing water and sewage costs of the future.
The book is co-authored by EcoTech's David Del Porto, who has sold and serviced thousands of several models and brands of composting toilet systems since 1972. He has also helped write regulations and performance standards for these systems, and has designed composting toilet and graywater systems for Greenpeace and for developing countries. NEW
