How A Porta Potty Could Save You From A Lot Of Trouble

By Jocelyn Davidson


There are many various reasons why a community or a family would opt for a portable toilet. It can either be for survival reasons during harsh weathers, events or concerts, or along parks and beaches. Most reasons would be because of cramped spaces, installation for a regular toilet is unlikely because of unavailable piping system, and some are even integrated in transportation like RVs and planes.

By now you might wonder how it works. It uses disintegrating and deodorizing chemicals to maintain it. Due to this, disposal should be regulated by both the manufacturer and the local government. In the case of a porta potty Edmonton, they have their own Composting Facility who takes care of this.

Mixed in with little amount of water, Bromine, Formaldehyde, and even Nitrate based chemicals, these are then stored in a tank. Some models also have an indicator for capacity. With this, it must be regularly cleaned and properly disposed. This is where the instructions of the manufacturer and role of rental companies come in.

A lot of rental companies offer services where they regularly clean and dispose these portable toilets. They even have different models which vary from handwash stations and handicap toilets. The modelling is according to the need of the users, especially with construction workers and in public places.

The shape and size of the toilet inside is practically the same as the one at home. Although with other models it might be different. The cubicle is conveniently private and closed. The tanks and reservoir for the water and chemicals are stored for deodorizing and disintegrating the waste, making it self maintaining for a few more times of use.

In cases of harsh weathers in Edmonton, temperatures can drop below freezing. Water pipes might be frozen and burst, or electricity would be out, so there is that certain risk. An option would be installing a porta potty when the situation calls for it. But if it is too freezing outside, you can store enough water in the bathtub for flushing. Also, make sure to stock enough toiletries.

Surprisingly, the same mechanism is used in transportation in airplanes and RVs. For planes, they have a vacuum which sucks the waste then stores it in a tank with the chemicals. To make the storage efficient, it is compressed to about two percent the volume it was.

Although it is a bit different with RVs. It heats up the waste in order to evaporate at least ninety percent water composition then leaves the solid material to be easily taken out during maintenance. It is also aided with a fan for the evaporation process. This is in terms with the later waste management systems in RVs, even though it is a bit more expensive but the convenience and not so frequent maintenance outweighs it.

Overall, porta potties would save you from a lot of trouble in places that are remote or temporarily flocked by a lot of people due to events. Although it is the responsibility of the one renting, the rental company, and the community to preserve the cleanliness of the surrounding and protect the environment.
