A urine diversion toilet system is a sanitation solution that separates urine from solid waste at the source. It’s designed for remote settings where traditional sewer connections are not desirable and/or feasible.

Pit toilets – those smelly holes in the ground that you find in backcountry settings – are in violation of the 2005 Clean Water Act. The *Offgrid sanitation system has been recognized as the most robust and effective alternative to replace pit toilets across North America.

Regular maintenance involves checking decomposition levels, ensuring proper ventilation, and monitoring urine collection systems.The frequency depends on usage but typically ranges from monthly to quarterly. The conveyor belt in the toilet would also appreciate a scrub with a regular toilet bowl brush from time to time (similar to a regular porcelain toilet!).

Yes, that’s the primary purpose of urine diversion toilets. *Offgrid is ideal for backcountry settings, campgrounds, parks, and other remote locations where connecting to a sewer system is not practical and/or desirable.

No, the unique design uses gravity and anatomy to separate the waste streams. Users “flush” the toilet using an attached foot pedal.

Yes, to both cases. We are able to sell the *Offgrid toilet to fit existing structures or used as a “wilderness” model. However, we recommend pairing the *Offgrid toilet with a structure for an optimal user experience.

Urine diversion toilets contribute to nutrient recycling, reduce water usage, minimize environmental impact, and promote sustainable sanitation practices. They help create a closed-loop system where waste becomes a resource.

Yes, our inclusive design works for both standing and sitting users. No user behavior change is required to use an *Offgrid toilet.

Properly designed and maintained urine diversion toilets are odor-free. The separation of urine helps prevent the formation of unpleasant odors commonly associated with traditional pit toilets.

Yes, urine diversion toilets are designed to function in various climates. Proper insulation and ventilation are incorporated to address cold weather challenges and ensure year-round usability.

Urine diversion toilets align with Leave No Trace principles by minimizing environmental impact. They help manage waste on-site, reduce pollution, and promote responsible outdoor recreation.

Regulations vary by location, so it’s essential to check with local authorities. In many cases, urine diversion toilets are considered environmentally friendly, and obtaining necessary permits ensures compliance with local guidelines. 

These toilets offer improved sanitation, reduced environmental impact, and the potential for nutrient reclamation. They provide a sustainable solution for waste management in remote or off-grid locations.
