(Click on picture on left to increase size.) Directions: Dig a drain pit approximately 1 ft. to 3 ft. in depth and 1 ft. to 2 ft. in diameter with 2 ft. or more of loose fill below (earth, sand and/or crushed rock). Fill the drain pit with lime stone gravel. Gravity feed a length of 1" PVC pipe to the center layer (1/3 depth) of the lime stone gravel. Now gravity feed the Drain Line provided with the toilet system and insert the end (about 6") into the 1" PVC pipe. Cover the top of the lime stone pit with a plastic cover and 2" of earth. For rain protection, create a 6" mound (compacted earth and/or grass) to allow for rain run off. Make sure you install the drain pit approximately 50 ft. or more away from any water source, 60 ft. or more from any well and away from any high water table. For Waterless Self Contained Systems and Waterless Remote Systems equipped with a Drain Kit (standard on Non-Electric & 12v Battery models and optionally installed on electric models): Gravity connect drain line attached to toilet system to either a 5 gallon plastic container (will require periodic emptying to proper disposal site) or gravity connect to acceptable* Black Water Drain Pit (a typical design is illustrated above). For Low Water Remote Systems equipped with a Drain Kit (standard on all models): Gravity connect Drain Line attached to toilet system to acceptable* Black Water Drain Pit (a typical design is illustrated above). *Be sure to check local regulations regarding acceptable drain pits/sites in your area. Other similar drain pits are commonly referred to as leaching pits, cesspools, dry wells, gray (or grey) water fields (for sink/shower waste water), filter beds or French drains. |
