Additional Info

More Details

The upper tank has a toilet seat and lid and a toilet pan style of bowl. The outer section of the bowl is filled with fresh water for flushing. The lower tank holds the waste which is deodorised and broken down by the addition of a chemical to this tank. A sealing valve between the two tanks is opened and closed before and after use by a pull handle at the front of the unit.

POINTS TO CONSIDER:
. May be useful in place of commode chair and pan as it does not require emptying daily.
. Lid does not provide back support as there is no cistern to rest on.
. Reference numbers of various models indicate capacity of toilet.
. Toilets with greatest capacity provide increased seat height.
. .Seat height may be too low - consider a chair raiser or frame.A frame designed to raise the height of a chemical toilet will provide armrests to assist standing transfers and a rail as back support or support for seat lid.
