Incinolet toilet
I'm thinking about one of these for a second bathroom in a "plumbing
challenged" area. http://www.incinolet.com/ Anyone have any experience with them? Or other suggestions to add a toilet without adding plumbing? (Aside from chamber pot, LOL!) Thanks in advance, Jo Ann |

Incinolet toilet
I've never hear of his item, until I went to the ink you provided.
All I can say is make sure your county(state?) code allows for this. I did a quick web search, and there are various mentions of these with state permits, etc And also, your home owners insurance covers if any thing goes wrong. The model I looked at on their web page only says it has a 1 year warranty. Its really expensive, not including permits , etc. Why would you switch to this ?

A friend had a similar gas fired one in a vacation trailer on his land. It worked. It has been some years, but I don't recall any odor from it, at least inside. Considering the cost, I'd certainly look for a way of plumbing a standard type of toilet, or one with an effluent pump if need be. |

I would never switch to this, but have a situation where a second
toilet is needed (not a whole bathroom) and plumbing will be difficult and very expensive. Jo Ann webmz wrote: I've never hear of his item, until I went to the ink you provided.

Or other suggestions to add a toilet without adding plumbing? (Aside from chamber pot, LOL!) When we were growing up we had a gas-fired toilet (instead of electric) at our camp. It was pretty much junk. It takes a lot of energy to boil away liquids, a real lot. And when burning 'solids' the smell was pretty bad - and the neighbors obviously didn't care for that. Then you have to clean the ash out of it and wash the bowl (gross). Lastly, with the gas-fired model anyway, the high heat combined with caustic substances corroded the firebox and created recurring maintenance problems. I would rather have a chamber pot or even a composting toilet based on a five gallon bucket (do a web search) than an incinerator toilet. Best of all is a regular flush toilet, even if you have to retrofit the house to get it installed... That's my 2 cents... |

Incinolet toilet
I had one of these up in Maine while
I was waiting for my septic to be installed. They are a pain. They work pretty well with solid waste but liquid takes forever to evaporate. They use a lot of juice as well. It's my understanding that the gas-fired ones do work well.

I can imagine someone coming home half in the bag and throwing a load of laundy in. Or visa-versa, do a ha-ha and toss a toilet seat on the washer. |

Marge Simpson put all the toilet seats in the dishwasher to give them a good scrubbing before a dinner party. |
