Dry closet Rostok
An ordinary toilet in the country has long become a real headache for land owners. Bad smells spreading around the area, inconvenience, the need to walk to the building through the mud on a rainy day - these are all problems that I would like to get rid of. The purchase of a dry closet can help in this. One of these structures is the Rostok peat dry closet. The advantages of such a purchase, the features of the application, we will consider in the article.
Peculiarities
The problem of waste disposal is urgent for many owners of summer cottages. To solve it on a budget, special dry closets with peat filling were invented. The Rostok toilet has a simple configuration, resembling the most ordinary toilet bowl, and therefore its use will not cause any questions or difficulties for any person. You do not need to connect it to electricity, water or other similar systems.
The Rostok dry closet has two parts in its design. The first one, the upper one, is a container with filler and a seat, the lower one is a removable waste container. The filler is peat, sometimes sawdust is added to it, but this is not necessary. Peat is a wonderful natural material, it contains special microorganisms that easily convert feces into fertilizer useful for plants.
The Rostok peat toilet has a sturdy polyethylene body. He is not afraid of frost and heat, does not ignite in a fire. The storage capacity of the structure is 100 liters, so you can use the dry closet for a long time. And it's relatively easy to clean. Rostok models have a lockable lid, a drain hose and a ventilation pipe are also included.
Of the disadvantages of such dry closets, it can be noted that they are not cheap. However, the price is justified by the durability of the structure. In addition, it is important to consider that for such a device you will need to regularly buy filler, and quite a lot.
Also, judging by the reviews, the toilet needs frequent cleaning. Otherwise, maggots can start in it and lay their fly larvae.

It is necessary to install the Rostok dry closet on a flat surface without slopes and falls. The ventilation system is built in here, so there will be no unpleasant odors. However, the ventilation pipe needs to be brought out of the house, as well as the drain hose, so it is important to choose a location so that it can be done. The outlet end of the drain hose should be positioned so that the liquid from the toilet drains into the designated place, and not along paths or beds.
The rest of the installation rules are quite simple, and they are all described in detail in the instructions that come with the toilet.
How to use?
Dry closets Rostok are an ideal solution for summer cottages. When they are first used, the filler in the form of peat is poured into the upper tank, and also placed on the bottom of the toilet with a layer of about 5 centimeters. As soon as you use the toilet, you will need to add the mixture again. This can be done using the drive knob, which should rotate clockwise.
When the toilet is full, it will need to be emptied. Experts do not advise to wait until the container is full, it is better to clean it a little earlier. To empty the container, it is necessary to disconnect the ventilation pipe and drainage hose, put the plug and remove the upper tank. The contents of the lower part are sent to the compost pit, the cisterns are replaced and filled with fresh peat.
Let's consider a few additional terms of use.
-
Rubbish must not be thrown into the Rostok dry closet: papers, personal hygiene products, etc. All this will slow down the process of processing faeces, and will also have a negative impact on future fertilization.
-
They wash the toilet with ordinary soapy water or mild detergents. Abrasives, powders, bleach - all this is prohibited.
-
Do not use a structure whose capacity is more than 90% full.
-
When using for the first time, make sure that the toilet is firmly in place, does not slip on the floor, and that all pipes and hoses are sealed.
-
The compost pit takes several years to prepare - on average it is 2-3 years, unless, of course, you have a composter that will speed up the task. Therefore, fertilizing with the contents of the container of the garden immediately after you have cleaned the toilet is strictly prohibited.
