Chemical toilets

Chemical toilets dispose of human waste by collecting it in a holding tank and using chemicals to reduce the scent. These toilets are often movable and self-contained.

Chemical toilets have small tanks that need to be cleaned and emptied regularly. It doesn’t have a septic tank or a hole in the ground, nor is it connected to the municipal sewage system. Instead, the tank must be emptied directly into a treatment plant or into a sanitary sewer.

How dos it look?

You can identify chemical porta toilet rental because the bowl’s water if blue. The blue comes from a chemical dye that leaks out every time a person pushes the flush button.

The dye disinfects the water and ensures the toilet remains safe to use. In the past, the chemicals used were bleach or formaldehyde, but modern chemical formulations are more natural and nitrate-based.

How does it work?

Chemical portable toilets have a mix of chemicals and waters to create a healthy flush, but the ingredients don’t last forever. When the toilet performs a flush, the system re-circulates the chemical and water formula along with the feces and urine that’s in the holding tank.

Additionally, these portable toilets use smell-reducing deodorizers in the tank. The chemical’s color is blue, but when it interacts with human wastes the color might turn green, which is an indication that the dye is no longer effective and that the odors will start to surge.
