This week, we're back to everyone’s favorite topic: Tiny House Toilets. On the show, I chat with the inventor of the C-Head Compact Composting Toilet, Sandy Graves. This system diverts urine away from the solid waste resulting in a system that requires much less frequent emptying than the classic Jenkins Humanure toilet.

In This Episode:

What problem does the C-Head solve?
An overview of how urine-diverting toilets work
The C-Head can be adapted to suit your unique needs
Differences between Humanure and dry composting toilets
How can you use compost?
What can you do with the waste besides compost it?
C-Head toilet best practices
Finally, a urine diverting toilet hack that men can use to stay standing
Composting toilets all come with a learning curve

Guest Bio:

Sandy Graves

Sandy is a 71 year old retired firefighter/paramedic and former Army Special Forces Medic with 10 grandkids. I also spent about 15 years building boats and being in the cabinet shop business. He and his wife, Nancy, lived aboard their catamaran, Lily Pad, for 5 years after retirement. All of these skills and experiences came together and conspired to have him invent a unique toilet called the C-Head, something he never figured would be a passion of his.

Have you been working on planning or building your tiny house and feel like you want to connect with other people, get your questions answered, and just support each other on the way? Well, Tiny House Engage is the community for you.

Tiny House Engage brings together tiny house hopefuls and DIYers to share plans and resources, learn from each other’s challenges and mistakes, and celebrate our successes so that we can feel less alone while we build faster, safer, smarter, cheaper homes and embrace the tiny house lifestyle. Whether you’re a tiny house dreamer who is still figuring out all the systems, plans, and everything you need to go into your tiny house, or if you’re actively building, Tiny House Engage has the resources for you. There are professional contractors in the community here to answer your questions about plumbing, electricity, and ventilation, and there’s also plenty of interaction between members. If you need some encouragement or just need to know how someone else solved a problem, you’ll get those answers in Tiny House Engage. I’m also very active in the community, answering questions and keeping an eye on things, so if you want to interact with me, this is a great way to do it.

Tiny House Engage members are also able to listen live as I record these podcasts and interviews, and ask questions of our guests. So if you’re a big fan of the show, it’s a great way to get an inside look at the Tiny House Lifestyle Podcast and get access to episodes weeks – or even months – before they go live on the feed.
