There is 9 times less fecal coliform bacteria in the end-product of a BioLet XL making it much safer to handle.

Are composting toilets approved in my area?
Due to the ever changing and widely varied regulations regarding human waste disposal, we highly recommend checking with your local health authorities about local regulations. Many local health authorities and several states have regulations in favor of NSF Standard 41 tested and approved composting toilets.

Does BioLet have any models that are FULLY automatic?
Yes, the BioLet XL and the BioLet Deluxe are the only composting toilets in the world equipped with an entirely automated mixing system. The composting systems sold by our competitors require this - for the composting result vital maintenance - to be performed manually. The automated process of these BioLet models also makes it easier for children, elderly and visitors to use.

Is the new waste that is added to the toilet mixed with the old waste that is already partially composted?
No, in the automatic BioLet models, newly deposited human waste and partly decomposed materials are not being mixed together as is done in other composting toilets. This is one of the main reasons that BioLet's end-product is extremely safe to handle.

What makes BioLet's toilets so efficient?
BioLet's toilets have a patented recirculating air process that provide the maximum amount of air throughout the composting material. The aerobic bacteria, which cause the decomposition, thrive in oxygen rich environments. Feeding more air to these bacteria is just like feeding more air to a fire, it's going to compost hotter.

Is there anything that needs to be added to the toilet to help with the composting process?
Yes, a starter mulch is required to promote composting. this mulch is essentially a mixture of peat moss and pine wood shavings. Addition of 1/2 cup after each fecal use or 1 quart per person per week will provide the proper amount of carbon and bulking agent to achieve optimum composting.

Where can I get starter mulch?
Starter mulch can be obtained from our authorized dealers or directly from BioLet. You can also mix your mulch yourself using an easy to follow recipe in our owner's manuals.

How often will my BioLet require emptying?
Under normal operating conditions, your BioLet will require emptying only once every 2 - 12 months, depending on usage.

What do I do with the end product when I empty my BioLet?
Although, the end product from a BioLet can be leeched into the soil around decorative plants such as flowers, shrubs and trees, you should always check with your local health authorities about local regulation concerning disposal.

How do I clean my BioLet?

In the event your BioLet requires cleaning and for regular hygiene practices, you can clean your BioLet using a sponge style bowl brush and any household cleaner.

Is the BioLet TRULY odor-free?
Yes, our toilets are designed so there is a constant flow of air into the toilet, under the seat, and out through the vent pipe. Therefore, ALL odors, including normal bathroom odors are expelled to the outside through the vent pipe.

This is fine, but will there be odors outside the building?
A properly installed and maintained composting toilet should not create any more odors than a conventional toilet systems vent pipe. Therefore, there should be no noticeable odors, even outside the building where the toilet is installed.
