Separett Villa Urine-Separating Compost Toilet | No Additives or Mixing Needed | High-Capacity Design | For Homestead, Schoolie, Cottage Use

I waited over a month to leave this review. This toilet is truly AMAZING. I'm so glad I decided to go this route instead of all the other compost toilets on the market. I bought this for my upstairs living space where there would be no possibility to have a sewage drain. First of all, the design of this toilet is very well and it is super high quality. I was a littk weary about installing it, but it really wasn't bad, took a total of about 2 hours to install. I had to run an additional extra long 3" pvc pipe for the vent. Note that it only comes with a very short piece of pvc and one 90 degree bend, and if you want to do extra bends and extra length for the vent, follow the instructions exactly. The pipe will match up. I didn't use any glue either. Just tapped with a rubber mallet gently that way if needed to be cleaned the vent could be removed. My only thoughts on improvement are the instructions are a little vague on some other things and I felt some things were out of order. For instance, you should know this also has a urine line that connects to the back of the toilet and needs to run outside. This I didn't know until I bought the toilet. So, a second hole is needed to be drilled out of the house and the pipe is only about 6 ft long included so same deal if you need to extend it. This pipe should be attached prior to mounting! It says to mount the toilet first which makes it nearly impossible to attach the pipe so I had to unmount and remount it. Beyond that, people have also complained in here about how the compost bags don't last long and if you don't empty in time you'll be cleaning the bucket. Not me! I don't know why nobody suggested, but I use a thick large black glad bag and place it inside the bucket first, then I place the compost bag inside that! I was able to get 5 weeks of use by myself every day before I needed to clean it out! By then you could start smelling it outside. Cleaning it out was easy. Put the lid on the bucket and pulled it out. Then simply extracted the bag to the garbage. Everything was contained, no cleaning necessary. The smell outside disappeared by the day after. The urine drain I pour white vinegar in after every use, this keeps urine from staining the toilet and also cleans the line from the acid build up. Don't miss this step!! It will save you a lot of headache and is very cheap. Lastly, it is very comfortable. As a male I have no issues sitting down and going number 2 and number 1 in the different drains at the same time. I have yet to have any of the two cross over and need any sort of cleanup. The only little thing is the flap likes to stay open after I get up instead of close automatically, so I simply just put the seat down and tap it down quicky and it closes it. Overall 10/10. Worth every penny! Great company!

This is a great toilet, as long as you have the fan going there is no odor. It all works well and isn't hard to empty or clean. We use it full time so I empty it weekly. They time diverts into a drainage system outside. The bags from separate are a bit pricey but work well. I use shredded pet bedding for moisture in bottom of bag. We will buy another for our camper soon.

I did a lot of research on the composting toilet concept - most of these toilets do the composting in the toilet itself. If you have ever had a compost pile, though, you know that it often takes months to achieve finished compost. I saw other toilets with mixers inside and varying levels of complexity. I decided to finally pull the trigger on this toilet because of its simplicity. The composting is performed in the compost pile (outside) and you don't have much interaction with poop. That was the theory. Anyway, we finally had some opportunities to use it in our little guest house. So far, the reaction has been stellar. People always ask, so do I need to put something in after I poop? No... It is pretty simple, and now that I used it myself, I could not believe how much it was like using a regular toilet in North America. What I did notice upon arrival is that the materials aren't as "heavy" as I expected. What I mean by this is that it seems like a lot of parts are made out of plastic. I contacted the manufacturer about this topic - because one of the pieces inside had actually broken during shipping. It was a part I could live without - but I was worried about other parts breaking. The manufacturer wrote back VERY quickly and was extremely good about giving me confidence that they would take care of anything if it went wrong. As such, I hope they stay in business because I really like this toilet and it would be a shame if any proprietary parts broke. This toilet looks nice (and more like a regular toilet), it works great... and after realizing just how simple it is to grab the bag out of the bucket and put it either in the trash or deep in the compost pile, I am SO GLAD that I didn't go with any other design than this one. I give it 10 stars because it is just a minute to clean and much more pleasant than I imagine one of the other popular systems to be (I think you have to unhook that one from the floor to empty it?) Finally, I just want to add that we have experienced zero odor from the toilet. The fan works perfectly. It really is an amazing unit.
