Toilet Construction

The construction of the Urine Diverting Dry Toilet will need to be carefully done to ensure the ongoing hygiene of the system. The faeces vault below the toilet and the urine tank are key to this. Solid concrete slab and kiln fired bricks will need to be used to construct two identical vaults below the toilet, with openings left in a wall of each to fit the pipe to the greay water and urine tanks. A slab is then built over the vault in concrete again with a timber frame to support the slab while curing. The concrete slab will ensure longevity and proper sealing of the vault below. A urine diverting squat toilet peice will need to be purchased to be installed in this slab. A pipe will be connected between the urine collecting part to the urine tank below the toilet. The key to the success of this toilet system is ensuring the urine and faeces never integrate.
