The Composting Toilet System Book
The Composting Toilet System Book by David Del Porto and Carol Steinfield in 2000, covers a wide range of different options for installing a composting toilet in your home. This book is a must for anyone seriously installing a composting toilet in their home. The book goes into extensive detail on how to choose, install and maintain a composting toilet in your home. One of the best advantages of this book is that it sees the composting toilet not as a single appliance in your household, but part of a greater household system that can reduce pollution and save significantly on water costs.
One of the authors, David Del Porto, has sold and and serviced thousands of composting toilets since 1972. He has also help write industry performance and regulation standards, and designed composting toilets and graywater systems for Greenpeace facilities and for different developing countries. He is one of the leading experts in his field and really knows the topic well.
In The Composting System B0ok you will find descriptions of over forty different composting toilet systems, including both manufactured and site-built composting toilets. They discuss everything from what are the best toilet stools to go with your self-contained composting toilet to how to best install a micro-flush composting toilet in your home. The book has extensive tips on how to choose, plan, and install your entire composting toilet system, including some information that the toilet manufacturers themselves will never tell you about how to maintain and install their composting toilets. You will also find out how you can help reduce pollution and help protect yourself and your community against rising water and sewage costs in the future by choosing a composting toilet for your home.
The book also explains the manner in which new composting technology has improved so that composting toilets are now compatible with the most upscale bathrooms, while also providing extensive technical information about these systems (although it is about eight years old at this point and even more developments have been made in recent years). In addition, The Composting Toilet System Book provides important information about United States permitting requirements for different states, as well as how these composting toilet systems can be best integrated with graywater systems. If you are about to embark on the process of trying to get a permit for your composting toilet, you should definitely take a look at the information provided in this book.
You should be aware that the Composting Toilet System Book is not cheap, running around fifty dollars a copy. But it is easily the best printed resource available for people installing and maintaining composting toilets in their homes, and is well worth the price. The Composting Toilet System Book is available from many online retailers, and you can purchase it from Amazon.com here: The Composting Systems Book.
