Biolet XL
DESCRIPTION
For those who need extra
capacity, the BioLet XL is the right choice. Equipped with the
same automatic features as the BioLet Deluxe, the BioLet XL has a
40% larger composting chamber and an extra heating element in the
bottom to help evaporate the excess liquids, all within an
attractive body of durable, polished ABS plastic. Additionally,
the BioLet XL is equipped with 3 mixing arms equipped with
"cutting blades" to help break-down toilet paper and
keep the product in an airy, homogenous state, and a float switch
that operates the heaters when excess liquid is detected. These
features make the BioLet XL our most advanced composting toilet
and sets the standard for composting toilets around the world.
Tested and approved by the National Sanitation Foundation, the
BioLet XL was proven to be the safest composting toilet on the
market and exceeded all requirements by a wide margin. Its design
has been voted the most user-friendly of all high capacity
composting toilets. As is true of all BioLet models, the XL is
equipped with a compost cover that hides the material from view
and opens automatically when sitting - another feature engineered
exclusively by BioLet and with a seat height of only 19.5",
the BioLet XL is very comfortable to use and it has no awkward
footstool to hamper children and the elderly. If the best is
desired and a high capacity composting toilet is needed, the
BioLet XL is the right choice!
BioLet XL is an on-site, self
contained, biological toilet, where human waste (feces, urine and
toilet paper) are collected, excess liquid is evaporated and solid
material is decomposed to a soil-like, hygienically safe product
(humus) without producing an unpleasant odor.
BioLet XL needs no water, nor
chemicals, and there is no waste water discharge from the unit
necessitating a connection to a sewer or septic tank. The BioLet
XL utilizes the natural process of aerobic decomposition and is
designed to maintain a warm and humid environment inside the unit,
encouraging biological degradation of the waste through the
scavenging action of the aerobes.
Within a relatively short
period of time, human waste and toilet paper are efficiently
transformed into a small amount of fertile compost. The BioLet XL
reduces the volume of the waste entering the toilet by
approximately 90%, leaving only 10% of an end-product, which can
be recycled back to nature in a safe way, and without polluting
the environment.
BioLet XL is tested and
approved under NSF-Standard 41, for residential use by a family of
four and is designed to handle occasional overloads.

AIR FLOW
Air flow
through typical BioLet Toilet
There is a constant flow of
air in through the seats of our units and out through the vent
pipe. This air flow serves 3 purposes:
Recirculate
air through the system to provide additional oxygen to the
aerobic bacteria to accelerate the decomposition process.
Assist
in the evaporation of the excess liquids and expel them to the
atmosphere through the vent pipe.
Draw
odors from the unit and expel them to the atmosphere.
