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.

These rental companies will be the ones maintaining the porta potties and disposing the waste appropriately. They already have guidelines and instructions from the manufacturer and the local government. Aside from the usual, they have various models you can choose from depending on the use. An example would be if it is either for construction sites or events, along with a variation of handwash stations and handicap toilets.

Just like the ordinary toilet at home, it has the same shape of the seat and has a commode. Although these physical aspects change depending on the model of the porta potty. As what has been described before, it has a separate water and chemicals container for flushing while the actual waste tank also has chemicals for deodorizing and also disintegrating.

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.

This concept was also adapted for huge vehicles like RVs and planes. Inside the toilet in planes, they use a vacuum for flushing. It goes along with the chemicals to compress it to around two percent its original volume. All of these are stored in a tank.

In RVs though, some of the later types have a fan and a heating system. This is used in order to evaporate the 90% water which usually composes the human waste. This would be convenient when maintaining the waste tank since there would be little waste left to take out.

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.
