Hi All,
Pump out type toilets that are used at festivals etc.
Do they have a separate tank of flush water with blue in it? Or does the liquid get filtered and recirculate?
I?d always assumed the latter, but now I?m not so sure.
TIA

There is a small tank if a washing facility is there, otherwise usually a hand sanitising cream.
But in the blue, it recirculates getting more unpleasant with each flush.
Not unlike in that respect the former bucket-and-chuck-it style of caravan toilets.
I?m not convinced. Filters (and the cleaning thereof) would increase the service time and I don?t see how you could stop the filters clogging quickly. I?ve only ever seen ?clean? blue flush liquid, never cloudy.
They?ve never recirculated flush water either.

I'm a (fairly) regular user of such things at horsey events. (Cross Country FJ with another hat on).
During the day the blue gets browner and browner. In the evening, the old soup is sucked out through the vertical chimney by the contractor and recharged with fresh blue.
There always seem to be other users of the Turdis who don't understand that several pumps of the handle is needed to flush away. Probably town folks who expect a single twiddle to flush.
Indeed so. There are also rather nicer mobile units with conventional sanitary ware, the bottom of the whole construction housing a large tank. They have small electric pumps to keep the flush cylinders filled.
I guess that there is possibly a large mesh just to keep larger "debris" out of the pump.

I can never understand people who dont glance back at the flushed toilet to checkif all cleared and ensure there are no skiod marks.
If you close the lid, you can't see them.
what lid ?
