There are so many options when it comes to what kind of toilet to have in your tiny house, you must have lots of potty questions. To help answer them, here’s another option for dealing with your bathroom business – the incinerator toilet systems. If you are not familiar with these, the idea behind them is that your excrement is heated until all that remains is sterile and harmless ash. Typically taking around 6 minutes to process wet matter and 45 minutes to an hour to process solids. Typically costing around $2,000 they are an investment and newer models can be used in tiny houses that are frequently moved.
The big thing to consider if opting for an incinerator toilet system is your power source and building to accommodate the bulky disposal unit. Brands such as Incinolet and Ecojohn offer units that can be electric, propane or solar. These units will use a fair amount of energy to operate and the type of power source will affect your out of pocket. You will only have ashes to deal with and that may very well make this an investment that has its own rewards.
