How to empty a portable toilet?

Answer 1

Portable toilets have become a ubiquitous feature of the modern landscape, and keeping them clean is important not only for the environment but also the health of those using these toilets. The first step in cleaning the toilet is to check the level of the bottom tank of the toilet to ascertain how much waste is in the toilet. If the toilet is full or the toilet will not be used in a couple of days, the toilet should be emptied of all waste. If the decision is made to empty the toilet, pump water should be pumped into the toilet bowl from the flush reservoir. The next step is to add toilet disinfectant into the toilet from the base of the waste reservoir. Toilet chemicals should never be poured directly into the toilet bowl itself. All water and waste in the toilet should now be emptied into the bottom reservoir. This is accomplished by pulling the T lever under the toilet bowl. Once all of the water and waste has been emptied into the bottom reservoir, the T lever should be closed. The toilet top should now be separated from the bottom reservoir so that the bottom reservoir can be emptied. This is accomplished by unlatching the toilet top from the bottom reservoir. It is important to make sure that the bottom reservoir is closed prior to picking up the bottom reservoir. Failing to do so may result in waste and chemicals pouring out of the bottom reservoir when the reservoir is picked up. Once the reservoir is picked up, it must be carried to an approved dump station or sewage plant. The reservoir is emptied by unscrewing the cap located on the back of the reservoir, and emptying all of the waste and chemicals. Make sure that the reservoir is emptied completely and rinsed thoroughly prior to taking it back to the portable toilet location. If there are any unpleasant smells coming out of the reservoir after it has been emptied, add more disinfectant before returning the reservoir back to the portable toilet location. The final step in emptying the toilet is to return the reservoir back to the portable toilet and connecting it to the top of the portable toilet.

Answer 2

You will often see a portable toilet in areas where bathrooms are not otherwise readily made available, such as at an athletic event or a festival, a construction site or when you are privately camping in an area that does not have easily accessible Plumbing. However, there is one thing that the portable toilet does not have in common with a typical flush toilet, and that is the portable toilet needs to be emptied every so often, because there is only so much space before it is too full. It is not a particular task that most people envy, but it is one that will need to be done.

1. Make sure that you regularly check how full the portable toilet is, so you will know when it is time to empty it and clean it.
2. It is time to empty the portable toilet when you pull out the handle, which is shaped like a T and is located towards the toilet base, and can easily see liquid near the top of the bin. You should also empty it and clean it if you know that you will not be using the portable toilet for a few days or longer. The first thing you will want to do is pump some water into the mixture by making use of the flush reservoir that is located above.
3. Get some disinfectant for the toilet, or some deodorant for it, and throw it down the opening where the waste reservoir begins. Try not to put any chemicals directly into the area where people sit down to use it.
4. Take the lever you pulled before and pull it again so it will empty everything into the reservoir on the bottom, water and waste included. Once everything has fallen, close the opening.
5. Unlatch the top of the toilet and separate it from the bottom. The latch will likely be located at the base of the bowl. Make sure and absolutely confirm that you already closed the opening to the reservoir before you pick up the bottom piece.
6. Take the waste to a dumping station or simply let it go in a standard toilet. Make sure to rinse out the reservoir and clean it thoroughly before replacing it.
