What happens if you have diarrhea in a composting toilet?

Because Diarrhea typically has a little more liquid in it than normal 'poop' you may find you might need to run the exhaust fan a little more than you would normally to help evaporate the additional liquid. Other than that, your composting toilet should function as normal, without any issues.

Composting Toilets and Diarrhea

13 November 2017

The Green Apple Splatters, The Hershey Squirts, Bubble Guts, Code Brown, The Runs, Montezuma's Revenge, Mudd Butt, Organic Brown Lava, The Trots and my personal favourite – The Arsequake. No matter what you call it, we’ve all had it at one time or another and we’ve all had to deal with the after-effects (which are never pretty). Now if you have a flush toilet in your home, you press the button and all evidence of your regrettable 3 am lamb kebab or dodgy-looking food wagon seafood pie is flushed away. With a composting toilet, you have to deal with things a little differently and we’re here to let you know how.

What to do if you have diarrhea on a composting toilet

Now you’re probably thinking to yourself (other than “I’m never eating three-day-old steak again”) “Can my composting toilet handle diarrhea?” Well, the answer to that question is yes – a composting toilet can certainly handle diarrhea. Because Diarrhea typically has a little more liquid in it than normal ‘poop’ you may find you might need to run the exhaust fan a little more than you would normally to help evaporate the additional liquid. Other than that, your composting toilet should function as normal, without any issues.

How to clean a composting toilet if you diarrhea

This is a pretty straight forward process and you may want to go check out our article How to clean a composting toilet for more info but the process is very easy. Simply swish some of our Nature Flush Enzymes around the bowel and scrub with a toilet brush. You may wish to spray some water around the bowl or pedestal afterwards or simply wet some paper towel and wipe down. As you can see having a composting toilet at home when one or multiple family members have diarrhea is not really an issue, you just need to approach cleaning the after-effects slightly differently than with a flush toilet.

Does GREY water need a vent?

All standard fixtures need a vent, but the greywater side of a diverted drainline can operate safely without one, because there are no sewer gasses. If you have a greywater line with no vent you may have slower draining and hear gurgling, but it will still function.

greywateraction.org - Do I need to use traps and vents in the greywater plumbing?

When ever possible, greywater should be diverted downstream of the fixture’s p-trap and vent (this is also required by most codes). In some situations it’s much more convenient to install the diverter valve before the p-trap and vent, and it’s safe to do so, here’s why: In standard plumbing, drain flowing to the sewer/septic system needs a P-traps to prevent sewer gasses from coming up the drain and into the building. However, when a diverter valve is installed in the drain and the sewer/septic side is turned “off” (directing water to the greywater system) the sewer connection is physically blocked by the valve, preventing any sewer gasses from passing it. In this situation no P-trap is needed on the greywater line. It’s common in a sink greywater systems to install the valve (and divert the greywater flow) in the trap arm of the sink, so that the user can control the flow of greywater from inside the home. Vents release gasses from the sewer, prevent the water in the trap from being siphoned out, and help the water flow down the drain. All standard fixtures need a vent, but the greywater side of a diverted drainline can operate safely without one, because there are no sewer gasses. If you have a greywater line with no vent you may have slower draining and hear gurgling, but it will still function.
