Envirolet Waterless Remote in Vermont - "LOVE IT!"

Bill and Mary in Vermont were kind enough to send some photos and comments about their Envirolet Waterless Remote Composting Toilet System… and they "LOVE IT!"  They write:

"Hi,

SOooooo we decided, after a lot of research, to go with the Envirolet.  AND LOVE IT!  NO smells…. LOOKS normal (even when you lift the lid).  Our house guests have had no problems.  I have a cute little canister with the daily mix and signs on how to put two scoops a day 'down the hatch'.  Along with signs on using the tp.

Toilet itself is on the second floor with the base directly below on the first floor in the utility room.  Again, no smells.  I have a tassel on the rake bar with another note on how to give it a couple pulls once a day.

 

Thanks!"

Envirolet BP in New Mexico

Some nice words and photos from Leon in New Mexico about his Envirolet Basic Plus (Non-Electric) waterless all-in-one composting toilet system installation.

"Greetings,

Attached is my testimonial [see below] and pictures from the installation of my new Envirolet composting toilet. It states simply and honestly my feelings. As you can see from my testimonial, privacy is an integral to a simple life and I ask that you respect that by not using my identity in any public venue. Thank you,"

Leon

New Mexico

Attached testimonial:

"During the past several years my goal has been to protect my simple lifestyle through Emergency Preparedness. I live in the high dessert of New Mexico where potable fresh water continues to be a very precious resource. In a recent article, it was estimated that New Mexico has only a ten year supply of fresh potable water remaining. Yet, construction continues, and this declining resource must be shared by more and more people.

I live alone and enjoy a life of voluntary simplicity. And yet, I find that I must do more to protect my way of life. This is precisely why I installed the Envirolet Waterless Self-contained Basic Plus Non Electric composting toilet. Where I live, if the electric grid goes down so does my water supply. The communal well pump is electric and there is no generator or backup storage.

I started my research on composting toilets with Envirolet based on the recommendation of a friend. I read their informative catalog, the installation and operating manuals and the testimonials posted on the Internet from customers who have purchased the self- contained unit. I used Google to widen my search but ended where I started with Envirolet. I also called Tech Support with questions not answered elsewhere.

I have also recently added a stand alone photovoltaic solar system and a second independent source of heat should the natural gas supply be interrupted. I am really serious about Emergency Preparedness.
My Envirolet composting toilet satisfies my two Emergency Preparedness requirements of (a) being independent of the electric grid and (b) reducing my personal consumption of a very precious natural resource."

Envirolet FlushSmart in Minnesota

Thanks to Lars in Minnesota for sending in his terrific photos and comments about his Envirolet FlushSmart VF System installation in his Minnesota cabin.

"First year with the Flushsmart system, a great addition to our new cabin. Simple, elegant, and well designed, also makes the trip to outhouse in the middle of night something you don't need to do anymore.

Connected to our rain water reservoir system the the toilet and compost tank work perfect. No worries about a septic freezing in the Winter, or having to have a truck get to our cabin to pump out a tank. I think this is a great solution for most cabins. Certainly use me a reference."

Thanks,

Lars R.

Envirolet Waterless Remote in Minneapolis

This is a great testimonial from Bob and Jean in Minneapolis!  They installed an Envirolet Waterless Remote System (120VAC) recently but are happy with the results and convenience.

"In April, 2011, we purchased the Envirolet composting electric toilet for our lake bunkhouse in Minnesota. We are delighted to report that this toilet has been used regularly throughout the latter part of the summer with no problem, no odor and a minimum of upkeep. It has not only provided comfort to folks using the bunkhouse, but has minimized water and septic usage in our main cabin bathroom. Although the Envirolet has been in use for only a short time thus far, we are optimistic for its positive function in summers to come."

Envirolet in BC Cabin

Thanks to Lyn and Brad for their photos and testimonial about their Envirolet MS10 waterless composting tolet system in British Columbia. They write:

"Our family has a cabin at Sproat Lake, outside of Port Alberni, BC.

After much consideration (and taking into account, 'my' fear of things that go bump in the night), "Envirolet" proved to be the answer to the long trek in the dark, up the hill to the outhouse.

We have included a picture of the shower-shed, and also a picture of one of the uninvited guests that frequent our property. The bears are so silent and appear when you least expect them. This year the bears are especially active along the lakeside, as the lake is home to a large run of Sockeye Salmon come into the lake for spawning - the run was counted at 800,000 fish. 'Buffet' is open!"

Envirolet in Illinois Garage for 8+ Years

Mike in Illinois sent some photos and excellent comments about his Envirolet MS10 waterless composting toilet used in his garage. He writes:

“Dear Envirolet,

I installed your waterless toilet in my garage on 6-3-2003. It has worked flawlessly since — 8 years running. We have a sunroom attached to our detached garage. Your product eliminates the need (pun intended) to have to walk inside the house to use the toilet. We empty it once per year and it's easy!”

"Envirolet we love you!!"

We received some awesome comments and photos from Ed in Ontario about his Envirolet Low Water Remote System installation. The first sentence says it all: "Envirolet we love you!!" Read it all below.

“Envirolet we love you!!

Eight years ago we bought a cottage in what is called an environmentally challenged area. The place had a great location close to the water and near town BUT all the neighbors had outhouses. The problem was low elevation and high water table making septic systems out of the question.

I searched the internet and found Envirolet. We checked it out at the Toronto Cottage Life Show and were sold.

Installation was EASY and PRETTY QUICK ( like 6 hours !!!!!). We had a very small bedroom/bunk room that we could squeeze in a toilet, shower and small vanity . The Envirolet low water toilet went in no time and we just set the outside unit on a few patio tiles and ran an extension cord to it. That night was bliss. No going out in the middle of the night to use the outhouse!!!!!!!!

The next morning I realized that we had added thousands to the value of our cottage for very little work and helped the environment by doing away with the outhouse.

As you can see we have built a small shed over the outside part and everyone thinks it is a garden shed.

We have had no problems with this system and it is soooo easy to maintain.”

Sincerely, Ed W. Ontario

Thanks for the photos and testimonial, we really appreciate it!
