How does the urine separate from the feces in the Natures Head Compost Toilet?
Gravity, my friend, gravity. The Nature’s Head Compost Toilet is thoughtfully molded in a manner where the urine flows naturally to the bottom of the bowl, into the urine tube, then into the urine bottle. The molding of the bowl is such that (as long as person positions themselves correctly), the feces remain in the bowl until the trap door to the compost bin is opened. When the trap door is opened, the feces falls into the compost bin. For those who like to keep things as “clean” as possible, there are alternative options of discharging into the compost bin: 1) You can insert a coffee filter to capture the feces, and it falls into the compost bin w/ the feces inside when the trap door is opened. 2) Urinate first, then open the trap door and allow the feces to fall directly into the compost bin; thus eliminating the extra “filler” of the coffee filters.
