Description
The multi-award winning Nature Loo™ Alectura is a waterless composting toilet, specially designed for tiny homes, with a low underfloor clearance requirement of only 49cm. Certified to Australian and New Zealand standards and approved in all Australian states.
The toilet system is easy to install and is free of odours, chemicals, plumbing, high maintenance and high electrical costs. It uses a natural aerobic process involving microorganisms, aka microbes, to break down waste into nutrient-rich compost. Microbes require a minimum temperature of 12°C, moisture content of about 60%, oxygen and a 25:1 carbon-nitrogen diet.
The Alectura’s features help to achieve optimal composting conditions. The double walls and fan promote airflow, bringing oxygen to the microbes, reducing build up of moisture and drawing away odours. Excess liquids are drained through the false floor to an underground leachate drain through a sullage hose. To optimise the moisture level, wicks on the false floor reabsorb drained liquids back into the compost pile. To operate, all it needs is some bulking agent, microbes and enzymes.
Two models available:
- Comfort
- Premium (includes built-in mixers and the Ezylift trolley)
