Envirolet in BC Cabin

Thanks to Lyn and Brad for their photos and testimonial about their Envirolet MS10 waterless composting tolet system in British Columbia. They write:

"Our family has a cabin at Sproat Lake, outside of Port Alberni, BC.

After much consideration (and taking into account, 'my' fear of things that go bump in the night), "Envirolet" proved to be the answer to the long trek in the dark, up the hill to the outhouse.

We have included a picture of the shower-shed, and also a picture of one of the uninvited guests that frequent our property. The bears are so silent and appear when you least expect them. This year the bears are especially active along the lakeside, as the lake is home to a large run of Sockeye Salmon come into the lake for spawning - the run was counted at 800,000 fish. 'Buffet' is open!"

Envirolet in Illinois Garage for 8+ Years

Mike in Illinois sent some photos and excellent comments about his Envirolet MS10 waterless composting toilet used in his garage. He writes:

“Dear Envirolet,

I installed your waterless toilet in my garage on 6-3-2003. It has worked flawlessly since — 8 years running. We have a sunroom attached to our detached garage. Your product eliminates the need (pun intended) to have to walk inside the house to use the toilet. We empty it once per year and it's easy!”

"Envirolet we love you!!"

We received some awesome comments and photos from Ed in Ontario about his Envirolet Low Water Remote System installation. The first sentence says it all: "Envirolet we love you!!" Read it all below.

“Envirolet we love you!!

Eight years ago we bought a cottage in what is called an environmentally challenged area. The place had a great location close to the water and near town BUT all the neighbors had outhouses. The problem was low elevation and high water table making septic systems out of the question.

I searched the internet and found Envirolet. We checked it out at the Toronto Cottage Life Show and were sold.

Installation was EASY and PRETTY QUICK ( like 6 hours !!!!!). We had a very small bedroom/bunk room that we could squeeze in a toilet, shower and small vanity . The Envirolet low water toilet went in no time and we just set the outside unit on a few patio tiles and ran an extension cord to it. That night was bliss. No going out in the middle of the night to use the outhouse!!!!!!!!

The next morning I realized that we had added thousands to the value of our cottage for very little work and helped the environment by doing away with the outhouse.

As you can see we have built a small shed over the outside part and everyone thinks it is a garden shed.

We have had no problems with this system and it is soooo easy to maintain.”

Sincerely, Ed W. Ontario

Envirolet Reviews: Envirolet LWRS in New Brunswick

More real photos of real installations than any others! Check out this new one…

Karen in New Brunswick sent us a couple of nice photos and comments about their Envirolet® Low Water Remote composting toilet system installation.

Karen writes:

“Sending a picture your way…as our recent purchase of the Low water remote is great!!! We purchased a camp in June …we have now gone from out house to in house with this great system. My husband found it easy to install and the family is enjoying the convenience and cleanliness of having an in camp bathroom…especially the ladies and children. I am attaching pictures of our bathroom is still under construction.

I did research and found your system the easiest to install, looks well made and designed for simple use. Your phone line agents were very helpful and that was the reason I decided to go with your product rather than purchase local….as I received great advice and guidance with my purchase.

We are really quite amazed at the convenience of your system and so are some of our friends and guests.

Thank you for making our get away…family camp more comfortable and enjoyable!”

Envirolet Reviews: Envirolet WRS in Colorado Rockies

A big thank you you to Edward for sending in some photos and comments about his Envirolet® Waterless Remote composting toilet system that has been installed and in use in his cabin in the Colorado Rockies since 2001. As Edward states, the Envirolet® saved him thousands in comparison to a septic tank system.

Edward writes:

Buzz,

Attached are three photos of our Envirolet Waterless Remote 120VAC system installed in the crawl space under our cabin high in the Colorado Rockies. The system was installed in 2001 to replace a flush toilet which was stressing our septic system. The cost of the unit was about one tenth of the estimate for replacing the septic system. The Envirolet also has the benefit of being usable when our well is shut down in the winter.

As you can see, I had to dig a recess in order to place the toilet in the same location as the flush toilet. I was able to route the vent through the same wall and roof cut outs after enlarging them for the larger vent piping. I also had to enlarge the hatch through the bathroom floor to fit the tank through the opening. The tank rests on two short pieces of 2x6 lumber.

One unexpected benefit of the system is the exhaust venting keeps the bathroom free of odors - a particularly nice feature in a small cabin with the dining table located near the bathroom!
