Final Install Of The Airhead Composting Toilet In My Off Grid Tiny Home
I did the final installation of the Airhead composting toilet in my tiny house on wheels. Now I have a fully functional composting toilet in my off grid house.
This composting toilet is odor free due to a tiny little fan that pulls fresh air over the holding tank 24/7. The fan is so efficient that it only draws 0.06 Amps of power. I can leave this running day and night on my solar powered batteries with no guilt.
I first had to remove the composting toilet from the floor by loosening the thumb screws and lifting the toilet out of the brackets. I set the toilet aside for now.
Next I drilled a hole in the wall of my tiny home to allow the air vent to blow outside. I used a hole saw on a cordless drill for this task.
Then I fastened the attachment containing the fan to the wall with the screws that were provided with my composting toilet.
The next step was to get power running to the fan. I went upstairs into the loft and tapped into my 12 volt DC power lines and ran a wire down into the bathroom of my tiny house.
I connected the wires to the fan to test it and make sure I was blowing air out of the tiny home and not in.
For now I taped off the wires. I will solder them properly later and use heat shrink tubing to protect them from shorts.
The next step was to measure how much hose I need between the Airhead composting toilet and the fan outlet on the wall. I cut the hose with a knife and then connected the air hose between the toilet and the wall outlet.
My new Airhead composting toilet is fully functional and ready to go (literally).
Follow my daily progress on the path to self sufficiency on my off grid solar homestead.
