Long considered the standard in
composting toilet
performance, the EXCEL is the preferred
self-contained electric model for heavy or residential
use. Composting speed and capacity on this unit is outstanding! The
large Bio-drum™ engineered into the Excel gives it twice the capacity
of the Compact.
The Excel was first introduced in 1977, and has been continuously
improved ever since. The current model is the fourth generation Excel.
The Excel has been successfully tested by the
National Sanitation
Foundation for six continuous months at its maximum residential
capacity of four adults. Key criteria were that the unit operated without
odor, and produced a clean dry compost. For weekend and
vacation use the capacity is 6-8 people, and even these numbers can be
doubled for short periods.
The 2" vent is attached at the top rear of the
unit and can be
installed invisibly by running it through the wall and up the outside
wall. For comfort the Excel has a detachable footrest which can be
removed to pull out the finishing drawer. This step is very sturdy and
has been stress-tested to hold 300 lbs.
Although the Excel can normally evaporate all
liquids, a ½"
emergency drain is fitted at the rear and this should be connected if
the unit is to be used residentially or heavily, or if prolonged power
outages are expected.
