A few months ago we converted over to a composting toilet for our caravan. We live in it permanently for up to 8 months of the year attending all of the major field days across Australia, and so we have become pretty familiar with their operation. We sell and recommend a small animal bedding medium, which is a chaffed hemp straw which has a remarkable moisture retention property, which is important to maintain the treatment bacteria in our RV & Marine Wastewater Treatment product. Normally, everything works perfectly with nothing but an “earthy” smell from the solids bin, but what we found was, if we weren’t feeling well in the stomach, neither was our natural bacteria.
As it turned out, all we had to do was introduce a little extra RV and Marine Wastewater Treatment bacteria, and within a few hours, the balance was re-established and normal function was the outcome!
