How to install a Compost Toilet on a Narrowboat - Ep. 89

There's so many to choose from, but which is the best composting toilet? In this vlog, we'll show you how to install a composting toilet on a narrowboat without the need for drilling ventilation holes in the steelwork, and how a composting toilet works.
We've had a cassette toilet, a pump-out, and we think incinerating toilets (Cinderella toilets) are way too expensive and wasteful with energy, so we've been hunting down the best composting toilet for narrowboat Silver Fox.
In this episode, we'll answer just what is a composting toilet, show you how to disconnect and remove our Thetford C260 Cassette Toilet and install our brand new Compost Toilet from Compoost Toilets in the UK, and a review of our composting toilet.
You can check out our new composting toilet at Compoost's website:

[@stevefreear884]

We have had a composting toilet on our boat since day one, over 5 years ago. Switched from an Airhead last year as it took so long to clean and now have a Simploo which we are very happy with. The boat originally had a pump out and When we had the survey done before buying the boat, he found that the pipe out of the tank was rotting. Dread to think what would have happened if that rusted through whilst it was being pumped out. Worth the price of the survey for that discovery alone. Had the tank removed and we got loads of extra storage under the dinette. No regrets at all with going down the composting route.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Happy with it?

[@stevefreear884]

Yeah, it’s been fine. Looks like yours externally but the Pooh tank is a crate with a sliding lid. The bottle has a wide neck so it’s easy to clean inside if it gets a bit crusty. We already had a fan for the Airhead that we reused. This was a hose that went out through the roof and was housed in a solar vent with a rechargeable battery. This means that we don’t need to connect to the boats electrics. We always tell men to sit down when using it, as even if they think they are a good shot there is likely to be some splashes.

[@thaterisafella6080]

Thank you - that is the first serious alternative to a combustion toilet, and presented with your customary professionalism. Wanting 'no-gas' on board meant I needed to factor-in a larger battery capacity, to power the combustion burner, this Compooster loo eliminates that need - and has done away with the 'cranky' manual stirring handle. It also looks really cool (obviously cool as it's not combustion). My worry had been explaining that handle to my grandsons when they visit - this is press button, no handle and superb for all ages. Thanks again - it's a load off my .......!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Hehe! It's such a simple thing too. Talking of loads... I'm off to errr... haha! xxx

[@josavo6377]

You guys pass so many small gardens, you should see if anyone of them wants compost. People I know would love it for their gardens. They may even have a compost pile you could leave it in. So happy to hear that you loved the idea and followed through. Happy Crapper, Happy Traveler!

This is, by far, the best composting toilet video I’ve seen. I’m plan to share it to several tiny house Facebook channels. I would suggest diluting the wee in a bucket of canal water to avoid nitrogen burn . . . . Fantastic you have a storage space for the bag of fresh compost in the “cassette” cabinet.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thanks, Holly. We've even started using compact compost, 12 little bars last us a year! 👍🏻

[@stephengurd5272]

Thanks guys, may have just solved our dilemma of the loo for NB Dogs Allowed. Boat yard taking pump out as I write. Looks way better than the one Narrowboat Experience fitted (hand big handle). Perhaps will try it at Crick.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Yeah, there are a lot of composting loos that we didn't like but this one is just the business. Even Narrowboat Experience commented on Compoost's Instagram page about it last week 👍🏻

[@SomchaiSpeaks]

When we were kids our boat had a flush toilet that emptied into the canal. So once we'd flushed we would run up on deck to watch it go floating by! A canal version of pooh sticks!

[@ellisandrews440]

We had our boat on a large lake in BC. We had 8 persons on the boat 4 adults & 4 children. My brother-in-law and I would take turns emptying the toilet which we each dreaded our turn. The boat was a 38’ , 14 ton ocean going boat and we had to anchor off shore then load the cassette into a little aluminum row boat and take it to shore to dump it in a campground toilet. We called the procedure not ship to shore but shit to shore. It was was brother-in-laws turn and he rowed into shore a fair ways with the goods. We waited and waited but no Rob, finally after about an hour we saw him rowing back. We asked him what took so long . He said he went into the campground toilet and took the cap of the cassette and the cassette slipped out of his hand onto the floor and then it proceeded to empty the goods, glug, glug,glug just as the ranger came in the door to do a check. The ranger said I guess you will need a shovel, mop, & hose. We certainly know the issues with cassettes especially my brother in law. Cheers Ellis

[@FoxesAfloat]

Ewww! Ewwwwww! EWWWWWWWW! 😷

[@janisinisalo]

A proper Valentines day video! Perfect topic. I'm deathly allergic to poo(+other such materials like flaming gasoline or sulfuric acid) so I have this full chemsuit(a proper yellow rubber one with a fanmotor and a chemfilter that professionals use) that I would use in cases such like with your cassette. Added benefits include(but not limited to) freaking people out when used in public. Also, before anyone thinks I'm a weirdo...My workplace(a ship) requires us to have such items and they need replacing at certain intervalls so..

[@FoxesAfloat]

Well done lads. Who would've thought that a vlog about poo would actually be interesting and informative? Not me, until I saw this one. Cannot believe how easy it is to dispose of the waste. Now, for the young Shaun, and his aversion to the Elsan process with the cassette, as a lad I grew up in a little country town in South Australia. Would have been in the last 50s. We had an outside toilet, wooden long seat (with attached Red Back spiders) and a big kerosine drum as the catcher. And sometimes telephone books as the paper source. Yep. It got to be my job to take it across to the paddock next door (unused so we were actually doing good for it) and bury it. Ewwwwwww. Sometimes (most times) I was a bit lazy and left it until there wasn't an option but do the dirty deed. Yeeeewwww! So, Shaun, I can completely sympathise with you mate. Been There and Done That! Great video except for the closing seconds. Ewwwww! LOL

They subsequently refused to answer any calls nor responded to any emails etc. I’m hoping a lawyer will be able to get my money back but so far no joy. Coompost products do seem to be very well designed and they appear to be a reliable business unlike Kildwick (who are essentially crooks and apparently have stung other customers).

Are you guys still happy with it? Just about to order the one you've got. One question - you said you put in a couple cups of compost "every time". Is that every time you do a number two or every time you empty it?

[@FoxesAfloat]

We love it! We just put fresh compost in once a week and change it. Easy.

Cloudy Lemonade oh what larks. Seriously excellent as every Guys. Our weekly fix of Foxes joy. Xx

Haha! Cheers, Henry 😂

This is a very helpful video for "boaties" (we are on a wooden traditional sailing boat) and also I want to thank you for your very lovely and personal vlogs. Keep it up guys!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thank you so much!

[@gypsyhugh]

Shit in the hedges 🤣

[@FoxesAfloat]

You say that like it's a bad thing 😂

[@Allotmenting_Plot15]

I cannot believe that you are still answering comments on a year old video! Great Work

[@FoxesAfloat]

It's the nice thing to do 👍🏻

[@freedomisntfree5573]

North Korean's woul love you two. Human poop is the only fertilizer they have

[@FoxesAfloat]

Ewwww! I'm not eating any of their fruit 😳

[@spalbon1]

Great to meet you guys. I was the drunk man who lost his wife in Stratford. Don’t go on the river!! Ps I found her again. Xx

[@FoxesAfloat]

Haha! No worries mate 👍🏻

[@andrewbarlow1707]

Composting is the future 💩

[@FoxesAfloat]

It is!

[@curtbonnell4308]

The odorless function to me is the best part. In a somewhat confined area the last thing you want is a bad smell. Loving your videos.

[@FoxesAfloat]

So true! Thanks, Curt 👍🏻

[@judydouglas9283]

You two are a stitch! WHERE’S DILLON!!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Fast asleep 👍🏻

[@judydouglas9283]

Foxes Afloat I was worried. You should always show at least one few seconds of Dillon or you cause panic.

[@paulstephenson5220]

Muck bucket n chuck it. Best bog video ive seen. Can you remember to review again in a year or so? Just to see how well the bits n bobs last.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Yeah, we will do 👍🏻

[@Samtasticlife37]

So, this type of toilet sounds like a sit to pee process...?

[@FoxesAfloat]

You can sit or stand. It comes with an anti-splash mat so guys can stand up.

[@kevinconrad6156]

We've been thinking about making an outside bathroom by the pool with a composting toilet, thanks for the demo on how they work.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Our pleasure 👍🏻

[@jimatherton8731]

Great information again! I have seen a few coposting toilet vlogs and most seemed to be about a bucket and a bottle that appeared as you say, "rustic" so thank you for researching a non rustic version.😀

[@FoxesAfloat]

Haha! Exactly! 👍🏻

[@mikeenglish6401]

Hi Guys.... On this occasion, I’m speechless! Mike

[@FoxesAfloat]

Hmm... The subject or the arse at the end? 😂
