How does a composting toilet work?

A separating compost toilet has three main pieces: separating insert, urine canister, and a solids container. All of these work together to make sure your camping toilet is dry and smell free! The separating insert funnels the urine into the canister, while the solids are kept separate in their own container lined with a bag and a drying litter material. To learn more, you can check out our page:  "How Does a Composting Toilet Work?"

What should I pay attention to when using it?

The correct sitting position is crucial for the best possible function of a composting toilet. For anatomical reasons, this differs for women and men. Women may need to sit up straighter or closer to the front. For more tips on this, you can read our article here

Why does a composting toilet not smell?

Odors are caused by the mixing of solids and liquids. Separating the excreta and then drying the solids prevents undesirable aromas. 

 

Do I have to change/empty the plastic bag after each use?

Nope! Trelinos are urine diverting toilets which keep everything as dry and smell free as possible. As long as you are using a good litter material to cover your solids, they should be dried out and have no smell which means you don’t have to empty the bags after each go! Depending on the size of your Trelino®, the bags hold between 3 and 12 number 2’s.

 

Which litter / cover material should I use to dry the solids?

There are a variety of different sprinkles you can use in your solids container.
We recommend small animal litter or coconut coir. While these are our top suggestions, there are still numerous alternatives that our customers use. For more detail on these options, you can read our page "Consider Your Litter".

Do I need a fan?

A fan counteracts condensation, accelerates the drying process of the solids and ensures that fragrances quickly dissolve into thin air. This makes it particularly suitable for long emptying cycles or if your Trelino® is used by several people. Due to its compact dimensions and short emptying cycles, the small Trelino® options do not need a fan.

What happens when I have diarrhea?

Diarrhea is not a problem when using a composting toilet. Actually, having one so close should help you in those emergencies. You only need to sprinkle on more litter after the fact to help absorb any extra liquid.

Where do I dispose of the contents?

The urine canister and solids container can be emptied independently of each other. The urine can easily be disposed of in a toilet connected to the sewer system. Just pour and flush.  Diluted, it is also suitable as fertilizer for your home garden. The bag with the solids can be disposed of similarly to a diaper or dog poo bag. We recommend checking local regulations for disposal guidelines. Conditionally, composting is also possible. 

Which bags should I use to line the solids container?

You can start by using the 10 bags that we include in your Trelino® order. These are thicker bags made from recycled materials that will make sure your waste stays in the bag and doesn’t leak through. You can also use bags made from compostable material if you are looking to compost your waste. 

How do I clean a composting toilet?

Cleaning a composting toilet is as simple as its use. You can use diluted vinegar, citric acid, or even microorganisms to clean your Trelino®. There are just 3 easy cleans that your toilet would need. 1) Spray and wipe down the toilet “bowl” and seat as needed 2) Every 2-3 days empty then rinse out the urine canister with your cleaning solution. 3) When full, just lift up the bag in the solids container. 

What makes Trelino® so special?

We also have committed to high standards of production. To take a stand against disposable culture, we have designed and built our toilets for longevity. Made from high-quality plastic, each Trelino® is meant to far outlast lesser made products.

Well-made, but there is much room for improvements.

The Trelino Original is possibly the best-made toilet in its class. It is well designed, sturdy and looks very nice. I found disappointing in several areas, especially in light of its high cost. First, the wooden lid is much too light, somewhat flimsy and has no finish. Second, it needs to be hinged so it can be raised and not removed. Finally, as it stands, it is difficult to move. A pair of recessed handles on the sides would address this. Would I recommend it to others? Probably, but not before the changes I listed are made.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, we are always happy to receive constructive criticism.
As far as the cost, all our Trelino products are designed and manufactured in Germany, ensuring high standards in craftsmanship and sustainability. For example, the wooden lids themselves are handmade in a local workshop. This production does lead to higher costs. We don’t put a finish on the lids so that they can be stained to match interiors. Once a finish is applied, then the color cannot be changed.
Thank you for your feedback on the handles. This is a feature that we have been considering, so we are happy that we have been able to get more feedback on this so that we can keep improving.
-Your Trelino Team

Great Product

I recently bought the wooden-seated RV version of the Trelino toilet. I put it into my trailer located in Oregon mountains near Idaho border. At $750 it was not cheap. But it is a solid product and works well. So much easier than the cheaper Walmart products which have much less thought built into them. It is worth the money.
