Does a separating toilet smell?
If urine and solids stay properly separated and the solids are covered with cover material, the smell is usually low. Regular emptying of the urine tank and a well-closing lid are important. A fan can help further.
What size do I need?
As a rough rule of thumb, about 1 litre of urine per person per day with all-day use. Two people who want to go three days without emptying therefore need a urine tank of about 6 to 8 litres.
Where do I dispose of urine and solids?
Urine can usually be emptied into a toilet or at a disposal point. Bagged solids go into general waste in many municipalities. Rules vary by region; if in doubt, ask the local authority or the campsite.
Do I need power?
The models in our comparison work without power. You only need power for an optional fan.
