Marine Toilets

SAVE OUR ENVIRONMENT WHILE SAVING TONS OF WATER!!!

The Marine Toilet

 We installed a Domestic Sealand 510 Gravity Marine Toilet in our cottage to save water usage through our holding tank and minimize the septage that ends up on our fields.
At least two of our neighbours have done the same.

 Regular traditional toilet – uses up to 7 gallons of water per flush -

Regular new low flush toilet – uses around 1/5 gallons of water per flush

Sealand Marine Toilet – uses .1 of a gallon, approx. one pint.

 You get 50 flushes on the Marine Toilet versus 1 flush on an old traditional toilet, and 15 flushes on the Marine Toilet versus 1 flush on a low flush toilet!!!  THAT’S AN AMAZING SAVING OF WATER!!!

 You reduce the number of times you have to pump out your tank, and since prices for pumping are threatening to go ‘sky high’, this is also good news. 

 You don’t have to ‘let it mellow’ EVER, so your bathroom smells like a spring rose instead of an old Out House.

 STATS

 We bought ours at Home Depot – they ordered it in.  There are other options. 
The Sealand 50 is ceramic, like a regular toilet.

 There is no tank of water behind the throne, and no parts that break regularly.

 Marine toilets cost about $400. for the toilet, and come with a special 4 bolt floor-flange.

 The manufacturer recommends installing the toilet right over the holding tank, but with the help of gravity, our waste moves 15 feet through ABS pipe to the holding tank. 

For this toilet to work, it must be located near the holding tank.
Put some extra water through occasionally or after guests visit.

 HELP KEEP OUR LAKE CLEAN.  CONSIDER INSTALLING A MARINE TOILET.
