Maybe I'm a bit inflexible and hesitant to changes - but I like to keep thinks like they used to be. So I'm wondeirng if I like plasic drain pipes in the wall - I can hide them by integrating them in the insulation, but I'm not sure if the drain pipe on the first floor needs to have some horizontal sloping, which leads to a raised floor maybe. Maybe I'm too afraid, but it just sounds complicated to me.
So then I came up with the idea of replacing the toilet on the first floor for a compost toilet (and keep the second regular toilet one on the first floor), and install a second compost toilet on the second floor.
But my girlfriend has doubts about smelly compost toilet when used indoors: she asked some friends about their personal experience and they told her that it is smelly.
I'm wondering if an indoor compost toilet can be without foul odors? If so, is this only possible with lower temperatures? Any ideas / advice?
I can let the company install two regular toilets, but this feels a bit like an environmental unfriendly action and also I don't like new shiny objects - a DIY timber compost toilets sounds much better from an esthetical point of view. But how about odor? Will this really be a problem? I hope you guys have some advice!
A quality waterless or composting toilet will absolutely not smell whatsoever. We have one in our city home, and prefer it to the flush toilet. The newer ones are better, especially if it's airtight with an air intake. Otherwise you will be drawing in heated air then exhausting that heated air outside. We've used several, and the Thinktank waterless toilet is the best so far.
