- Uses no water or chemicals
- Needs no electricity or batteries
- No odor and no flies
- Very low maintenance -substantially reduces waste removal
- Zero discharge - nothing goes on or into the ground
- Enormous capacity: 15-60 uses per day
- No effluent will flow out during flooding and flooding does not damage the unit.
Stable and sturdy - made from polyethylene that does not wear out, crack or leak (35,000 currently in use and no problems since 1993).
Eloo Technology
Invented by Dr. Brian E. La Trobe, of Enviro Options (RSA), the Eloo utilizes bacterial and biological technology. The Eloo has been installed in many countries since 1993 with over 35,000 installed worldwide. As of 03/01/08, they are in 12 states in the US, and in Canada. SWSLoo currently has new projects in Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, in parks, environmental developments, vacation homes, and village shopping squares. This widespread experience has demonstrated that it is a cost-effective, respectable, hygienic and environmentally friendly sanitation system that satisfies the dignity of all users.
The Eloo is the first truly SOLAR, Waterless Toilet.
It is NOT a:
- Composting Toilet
- Electric or Incinerary Toilet
- Chemical Toilet
The Eloo Is Odorless
Radiant heat is absorbed and conducted through the ultra violet protected black polyethylene plastic of the manhole cover and vent pipe. The increased internal temperature causes convection airflow, which is assisted by the ventilation extraction unit, positioned on top of the outlet vent pipe. This unidirectional positive ventilation ensures that all odors are extracted through the toilet and container and expelled via the ventilation extractor at the top of the vent pipe and/or by power assisted fans where applicable.
Eloo Maintenance
The Eloo needs to be inspected on a regular basis to check on the quantity of solid waste on the drying plate and whether the dried waste needs removal. The period between servicing i.e. removal of dried waste will depend on the number of users per toilet per day. It is therefore recommended that the units be inspected on a regular basis for the first 3 - 6 months after commissioning to ascertain usage, which will determine the periods necessary between inspections and waste removal services thereafter. The removal service intervals could range from every 6 months to approximately every 3 years, depending on usage.
