Is there a way to take apart the bottom half in order to clean it? Waste builds up on any toilet and needs to be scrubbed, not just rinsed.

There is a lever at the back that you move to one side and it separates the bottom part and the top part. I'm assuming that's what you are wanting to do.

All I do to clean mine is wipe off with a cloth and some hot water while still a little hot. You can also use a silicone spatula and some hot water. I have never had to use anything other than that.For the bottom, I am certain BKF would work. That stuff works on everything! I do not worry about the bottom though.

There are 2 ways to empty it. There's a clip on the bottom you can open and empty and the top unlatches and twists off to empty as well. I prefer using the top approach.

I don't think you can clean that part. You aren't really able to reuse these. Once you take it off you probably have to get a new one

The kit is for two-piece toilets, so the tank has to be removed from the base to get to the nut, rubber donut between the tank base and toilet base, etc. I imagine this is what is meant by "taking the whole toilet apart." To be clear, you don't need to actually remove the toilet base at all, just the tank for proper installation of the new hardware.

I'd use compressed air to clean it rather than washing it, just need to remove any larger particles of dirt and grit that it may have picked up.

you don't want to rinse it out inside, use a pail or something, I cleaned up outside, it takes alot of water to clean properly. It needs to be disassembled and cleaned properly before putting away

Ours is attached to the toilet. That way the waste is sprayed directly in, then i can flush it away. It works great.

I replaced the toilet, so the Bemis no longer fit. I actually gave it to someone else who wanted it. Before that, I cleaned it with Clorox to ensure it was completely clean. It did not appear to cause any type of damage or discoloration. This is anecdotal evidence and not a scientific experiment, but it was not a problem for me.

It fills from the bottom. There is another question/answer on how to remove bottom.

We always take the bottom off. Taking the bottom off makes it a lot easier to clean!

I am a 60 year old woman also, and I am the primary caretaker of our toilet. Emptying the urine bottle isn't hard. I rinse mine briefly with the hose afterwards. Emptying the solid waste tank can be hard. It is quite heavy when full, and you need to be able to turn it upside down into a trash bag to empty it out. But I manage usually all by myself, and it doesn't need emptying very often. I think I empty ours 2-3x per year for our toilet that is used on weekends by 2 people about 2x / month. The floor needs a good scrubbing after that, because somehow, no matter how hard I try, some of the used peat escapes. Then, of course you have to refill it with clean moist peat. That isn't hard, but it is kind of messy. I clean the bowl frequently with bathroom cleaning wipes(don't toss those inside). Not much else to do. I would say you need to be involved with your toilet, but for me, it isn't so hard or so awful that I want to kick it. Congratulations on your tiny house.

I was trying to figure a way to do that today. The only thing I could come up with was to possibly install a shut off valve on the T that goes to the unit. I don't know if that would affect the toilet too or not. It would be nice if it had a pressure adjuster on it. I just try to not pull the handle all the way up but it is very touchy.

It's not too hard, use a knife or something similar to loosen it up together with water it should flush out fairly quickly,

There is a halfway mark for the soap. I do half of that for a full load. I use a HE washer. Anything more and it develops stink issues from detergent build up.

possible that someone tried to flush something other than human waste down toilet, creating a blockage, you will have to disassemble toilet and flush line. upon disassembly check flapper valves, make sure they open and close easily, if not replace. also, lubricate pump rod when in full vertical position, that may help

Same thing happened to me. I just started to take it apart to clean it then the bottom part released. Hope this helps
