Where do you dump the waste? I'm a novice with porta pots. Do you take it home and just dump in your toilet? RV dump site?

Traci S, I have a 5 gal porta-potty that I use in my sleeper. At home I dump it into my 4" clean out for my septic tank. On the road I use the dump stations in rest areas. I don't use camp sites. It's easy to do. I hope this helps you. JLM

Check with campground or mobile trailer park owners to see if they would charge you a fee for dump out.In my town,the city has a dumpout facility with hose.It costs $2 per use.

We use ours at some property in the mountains. We usually just dig a hole in the woods and dump it. You could however take it home and dump it in the toilet.

Hello', I use in my trailer when I travel for Arts Show only for two or three days then I take home and just dump in my toilet. It is very easy.

We just dump it ....it can be added to a compost pile ... please remember it is recycled newspaper...it would definitely clog pipes

You can leave it in its pot. You may have to possibly repot in the future though.

I empty my cycler when I'm done using it or at least every other day. So I have not had a problem. It's wonderful for getting way ahead of the composting game.

I get a bucket and pour it in the bucket, then take it out way in the back yard, where no one goes (worried about dog) and dump it. I guess that you can throw it down the drain but we are on a septic tank, so I don't put strange stuff down it.

Ihave had my sink since april and i love it...no scrathes or problems..i just wash it out with soap and water....i do not have a garbage disposal with this sink because we compost here in seattle and it is not needed and took up too much space under the sink. When i had a garbage disposal in my other double sink i put it in the smaller sink and wouldn't know why you would put it under the larger...the small sink worked great. I am really happy with my new sink

I found it very easy. I just turned off the unit, slid the bucket out, emptied it, and slid it back in. But as I was doing that once or twice a day, I opted to move the unit up onto a stool and attached a short piece of hose (4 ft) that emptied into a small plastic 20-gal trash can. That extends the dump time to 3 days!

Yes, it also gives us the ability to dump far away from the RV. We purchased a 50' 3/4" rubber hose, attached it to the 10' 3/4" hose that it comes with and are able to dump from our back yard to the drain in the front of the house, up hill and it works great. One of those simple design products that makes you think why someone never thought of it long ago. No smell, no mess and no sewage ever touches your hands. I rate it a 10 out of 10!!!

I called Walex but did not wait for a call back. I emailed them right away too. This is their answer about Porta-Pak: Porta-Pak will not harm your septic system when being used by a single RV. It would take 100's of RV's dumping the product daily into the septic system before the septic culture would even notice the product is in it. The product gets so diluted in the holding tank there is nothing left of the product when dumped into a septic system. I do have a question/suggestion for you. If your RV was used I always recommend you filling the black holding tank as high as you can with fresh water and adding 1 Porta-Pak in the tank for 24 hours and let it clean the tank thoroughly before you use. This will give you the reassurance that the tank is free of any old ill effects and leave you free to enjoy your camping. This is also a good practice to do before winterizing, so that you prevent any foul odors sneaking up on you when you get ready to start camping again. Congrats on the new trailer. Enjoy your travels and be rest assured that you won't have to worry about the holding tank. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to call or write.

I think it'd be okay to flush a few pellets (for example, sweeping stray ones off the floor) but I wouldn't dispose of large amounts in the toilet. I just dump the entire contents of the litter box every other day (no scooping-- just throw everything away). Refilling the box with a thin layer of these pellets every other day is comparable in price to carving out pee blocks from clumping cat litter, or sifting poops from the crystals, and it's much easier.

I have a septic tank and used it. Although I've only used it a couple times (once per toilet), I plan to only use it sparingly if ever again. I think plain old baking soda and vinegar would work just as well and be much healthier for your septic system though.

Get goes into the toilet of you hook it up in the bathroom. And if you put it in the laundry room it goes wherever your water waste goes.

Sorry, I can't give you an answer as we live and travel full time in our RV & we dump our black tank every week. If you are asking about putting it in before you store your RV, I think that it would be fine AS LONG AS YOU DUMP AND CLEAN your black tank before storage. I would add at least a gallon or two of water along with the happy camper.

This rv toilet is not a self contained "Porta Potti." This model is a permanent RV toilet meant to be used in RV's with holding tanks. The toilet is installed/bolted to the floor of the RV, hooked up to the RV water supply, and used with a closet flange, somewhat like a household toilet.

You need to have a sewer or septic system to put the waste in. Most RV parks have these. I use my 4" cleanout into my septic system at the house. Make sure you open the vent cap.

Probably, but why would you want to? The camper toilet waste disposal acts more like an outhouse - holding the waste with in a closed container. Our camper only has a direct opening to the tank which is opened when it "flushes" and then closed when it's done flushing. A household toilet has a water trap and is connected to a sewer line or a septic system - in either case the water trap prevents odors from coming back and the waste is removed to a remote area (sewer or septic system).
