For thousands of Americans who want to live in rural or remote areas, building a home presents special challenges. One such challenge is what to do with wastewater when standard utility connections are not present. Those of us living in urban and suburban areas tend to take for granted the city infrastructure that supports our homes. But for those building a home without the presence of a city sewer hookup, alternatives must be sought out.
Traditionally, the standard method of dealing with wastewater in areas without sewer connections was to install a septic tank. A new septic system, however, can be prohibitively expensive, and depending on the specific location where you want to build your home, a septic system may be absolutely impossible to install.
One alternative to putting in a septic tank is to install composting toilets instead. A composting toilet is a special type of toilet designed to process and break down waste, converting it to harmless and non-offensive compost, a substance that looks and smells like ordinary garden soil.
You might be wondering how such a process works and if the toilet would smell bad. Composting toilets operate on the simple principle of aerobic decomposition. Waste is held in a special drum inside the toilet, so the user need not come into direct contact with it. Human waste is actually 90% water, so the primary role of a composting toilet is evaporation. This is usually aided by the presence of a heating element and/or fan. The remaining waste solids are then aerated inside the drum every few days, insuring the right balance of aerobic bacteria to break the waste down. Odor free operation is maintained by a venting system that prevents any possible odor from entering the bathroom.
After a period of several months, some of the broken down waste can be removed from the toilet’s drum for final sanitization. In many composting toilets, this process is automated so that material simply moves from the drum to a different chamber within the toilet, without ever having to be handled or even seen by the user.
If you are removing a ceramic cartridge it should be lifted out vertically. If you are removing valves they must be unscrewed anti clockwise. Use a pair of grips but be careful not to scratch or damage the chrome finish on the tap.
Once you have removed the old valve, make sure there is no dirt or debris in the tap, put some grease in the body and fit the replacements. Make sure they are firmly fitted but try not to overtighten them as this can harm the valves. Switch on the water and make sure nothing is leaking, if it’s ok then you can go ahead and put back the handles.
Just remember go slowly and don’t panic. If you really feel concerned use a plumber. It will still be quicker and cheaper than replacing the whole tap
