Leonardo Alvarez pinel: Compost toilet...The last push !!!

This week, the compost toilet has to be very close to compleition, because, this next saturday 26th of april a course is happening in Villa ovillo... and is about compost toilets !!!

Started the cladding on the balcony wich is the difficult part

This is the chicken wire mesh that was
salvajed although it was in pristine
condition.

There are three layers of mesh screwed together
to all corners and the top beams

The mesh is also conected to the floor slab
by drilling holes each 20 cm. and then banging
in some big nails

The mix is a bit special I did mix some sand cement and
floor adhesive for it to stick better, really easy to apply
to the mesh.

Squeeze!!!

Make sure the mesh is well attached if it moves just add some more nails or screws straight into the structure

Just checking out the space, not using it!!!

More mix!!!

The finishing coat is made using hidraulic lime and sand on a 3/1 basis

This are the elements you need to make an automatic siphon or bell siphon

A 40mm. cap

110mm. cap

A piece of 110mm. pipe

1m. of 40mm. pipe, a T and 3 male female elbows all 40mm.

Glue together both caps sanding down and cleaning with solvent before.

Do the same with the T and the elbows.

Drill some holes on the pipe as shown!!!
Sand them down so they are clean, then cut the pipe up to 20cm.

Glue it to the cap!!!

Then place the so called bell

The bell will keep an air bubble that will stay trapped till the water pressure is enough to push the water that is inside the U bend on the part below, for this to happen there has to be water in this part beforehand.
