Compatibility
However, it is difficult to imagine how much waste is split in a chemical dry closet without the addition of catalysts. By adding a splitter for a dry closet, the intensity of the reactions is increased many times over. 
The use of chemicals destroys all living things in the container and completely breaks down the waste there.
When using biological additives, which are a set of enzymes and bacteria, the entire effect can be reduced to zero if the ampa green 2 l liquid for home biotoilet, added to the drain tank, contains chemically active substances. Yes, such a product in the waste tank and receiving container will destroy bacteria and remove unpleasant odors, however, if it enters the drive, all bacteria that contribute to natural processing will also die under the influence of chemicals. The recycling process will be significantly slowed down. For the same reason, it is not recommended to throw household chemicals into the dry closet.
To exclude such a situation, before filling the dry closet with liquid, you should make sure that it is compatible with the biological splitter used. The most convenient and reliable option is to use a splitter and antiseptic from the same manufacturer.Such funds are initially made in such a way that their action does not work by mutual exclusion, but rather complements each other.
A similar solution is offered by the American company Thetford, which has been operating on the market for more than fifty years. With Thetford's AquaKemGreen splitter, you can also buy thetford's AquaRinse bio-toilet liquid, which is designed to be added to clean water in a cistern. "AquaRinse" is a deodorizing liquid that does not affect the quality of waste processing by the "AquaKemGreen" splitter in a storage container.
The principle of operation of the dry closet
Waste disposal occurs under the influence of biological or chemical reagents. Waste is converted into a homogeneous mass, which is subsequently disposed of and does not have a harmful effect on the environment.
Depending on the reagent under which the waste is disposed of, dry closets can be divided into several types:
- Biological, containing biological substances - peat, sawdust, live bacteria. The resulting waste is useful as a fertilizer.
- Chemical, which use chemical liquids that destroy odors and germs.
- Electrical, where the waste is separated into liquid and solid phases and distributed in different containers. Operates using electricity.

For them to work properly, a number of related products are required, including a special liquid for dry closets.
Liquid for dry closets in comparison with septic tanks
Proper toilet care
- an important task of organizing a comfortable life. To accomplish this task, it is best to use liquid for dry closets.
The tool allows you to achieve the following results:
- Facilitate the maintenance of closets with septic tanks and dry closets;
- Decompose waste products to a homogeneous consistency and reduce their volume;
- Prevent gas formation in septic tanks and country toilets;
- Ensure hygienic cleanliness and destroy pathogenic bacteria, viruses and fungal infections;
- Prevent the formation of unpleasant odors and siltation of systems;

Liquid for a dry closet should be bought by everyone who uses country and cesspool closets, as well as latrines with tanks such as septic tanks. contains chemicals that are safe for humans, there is no chlorine or formaldehyde, volatile solvents.
Characterization of the organic reagent
The properties of such a product are manifested in such a way that the living bacteria that make up its composition and produce special enzymes destroy waste. As a rule, the reagent consists of a mixture saturated with natural beneficial microorganisms and enzymes that correspond to them.
The organic reagent for dry closets is peat. The principle of operation is that a small amount of peat mixture is placed in the lower waste tank, which creates an aerobic environment that promotes the decomposition of waste. The composition of such a mixture includes microorganisms that process waste; leavening agents that increase air access; special odor absorbers. With a dosed supply of peat mixture, waste is converted into environmentally friendly compost.
How to make liquid for a dry closet with your own hands
Compositions for the lower tank are produced by dozens of manufacturers of chemical and biological preparations, as well as companies engaged in the production of dry closets themselves.However, such liquids can be prepared at home using this recipe:
- 75 grams of any starch and 25 grams of ordinary kitchen salt are poured into an enameled saucepan.
- Bulk substances are mixed and poured with 100 milliliters of water.
- The saucepan is put on fire and, stirring the starch-salt mass, they achieve the formation of a thick consistency of the composition, excluding the appearance of lumps.
- After that, the composition is removed from the fire and allowed to cool for one minute.
- 15-20 milliliters of table vinegar and a few drops of aromatic oil (for cosmetic purposes) are poured into the cooled, viscous mass.
- The resulting mixture is thoroughly mixed until a homogeneous consistency.
That's all, the composition for the lower tank is ready. In addition, liquid soap can also be added here, which increases the washing properties of the composition. The validity period of such a homemade remedy is 1-2 weeks. Of course, in terms of effectiveness, such a tool is inferior to professional preparations, but in the absence of such, it copes with its task quite well.
The dry closet is an autonomous system. All waste accumulates in the lower tank, where they are disposed of. The process goes with the use of a liquid that breaks down waste, turning it into a kind of homogeneous mass. In addition, the reagent liquid contributes to the destruction of unpleasant odors and microbes.
Once in the lower tank, the reagent will work until the tank is full. Its duration is practically unlimited.
Since the bottom tank is filled periodically, any mobile toilet needs access to either a sewer or a compost heap.
Liquid Aqua Kem Green
Features of chemical cleaning
A chemical product for dry closets and cesspools can work at absolutely any temperature, which allows you to reduce the level of requirements that apply to the operation of such drugs.
If chemicals are used, then it does not matter at all what household chemicals will be used. In addition, such means are indifferent to the quality of water.
Chemical preparations have the following disadvantages:
- there is a risk of toxic substances entering the soil;
- aggressiveness of the composition in relation to metal sewer pipes and other elements of the system.
Chemicals are best used for tanks and pipes made of polymeric materials that are resistant to such exposure.

Advantages:
- well cleans plaque on the walls of the dry closet;
- economical (one liter costs about 300 rubles);
- eco-friendly, can be poured into compost.
The disadvantages of buyers include inconvenient packaging and lack of measuring capacity.
The market offers a variety of brands of dry closet products. Despite the different prices, most of them work equally well, completely clean the walls of the dry closet from plaque, eliminate unpleasant odors, and prevent putrefactive bacteria from multiplying. Imported funds are more convenient to use, but domestic ones can work quite effectively.
Preparations with ammonium
Means used to decompose fecal matter containing ammonium are considered high quality. They act quickly and effectively, and remarkably eliminate unpleasant odors. The disadvantage of such a tool for and cesspools is a high sensitivity to the aggressiveness of the environment, as well as poor interaction with various household chemicals. For example, if after a shower or washing soap solutions get into the drains, the ability of such a preparation to liquefy waste is reduced several times. It is worth noting one more important point: the effect of ammonium on the environment has not been fully studied.
Features of biological preparations
Any biochemical agent for dry closets and cesspools contains various bacteria, which, once in the mass of drains, contribute to the displacement of putrefactive microflora and help the decomposition of solid inclusions, as well as the formation of sludge. The latter is usually used as an environmentally friendly organic fertilizer.
Biological preparations can be in the form of solutions, tablets or powder, which are pre-diluted in water. They also have disadvantages, among which is sensitivity to environmental factors. Such microflora can exist only at temperatures from +5 to +35 degrees. In addition, using a product for dry closets and cesspools, you should carefully choose detergents for dishwashers and washing machines, disinfecting and cleaning compounds for plumbing. Some of them lead to the destruction of beneficial bacteria if they get into the sewer or septic tank.
Properties of liquids
When choosing consumables for your portable toilet, they mainly pay attention to toxicity, cost and volume. But any liquid for dry closets should:
- ensure complete elimination of odors;
- prevent the reproduction and spread of bacteria, microbes;
- help to comply with sanitary and hygienic requirements;
- accelerate waste disposal.
In addition, they provide long-term operation of the product. They significantly increase the strength of some component parts, protect them from corrosion. This is true for rubber and plastic elements of the toilet.
This is their intended purpose. It is strictly forbidden to use dishwashing detergent or any other detergents instead of special liquids.
First, they will not cope with an unpleasant smell.Secondly, they will not fulfill the main function of such liquids: they will not be able to utilize (decompose) human waste products, and ensure the disinfection of waste. This can not only lead to a breakdown of the toilet, but also threatens with such troubles as dysentery.
Why do you need a dry closet liquid and what it can be
Any dry closet consists of two parts-tanks: a waste receiver and a compartment with water for flushing.
Sanitary Breaker Fluid
Due to the small volume, water cannot be poured into the lower compartment much, as in a centralized city sewer. Therefore, a special sanitary splitter liquid is added to it, which speeds up the processing of waste. After adding it, a film forms in the tank.
The advantages of using such a liquid are obvious:
- the unpleasant smell disappears;
- parts of the dry closet do not deteriorate from waste (this is especially true for rubber parts);
- harmful bacteria do not multiply;
- waste recycling is faster;
- the toilet is clean.
Sanitary liquids for dry closets are different in composition:
- ammonium, in which the chemical reaction occurs with the help of nitrogen. For the operation of such a composition, it is necessary to limit the ingress of oxygen into the tank. Waste is processed into compost in a few days and is safe for humans and the environment;
- formaldehyde, the basis of which is formalin. This is a toxic compound, but the waste is broken down very quickly;
- biological, consisting of bacteria that process waste into fertilizer. Environmentally friendly, but their action is long - about 10 days.

The choice of one or the other option depends on where the recycled waste from the dry closet will be poured.
The sanitary properties of toilet fluid are lost after two weeks of use. After this time, it must be replaced.
Scented cleanser
Flavored products are poured into the upper water tank, which serve only to eliminate the unpleasant odor during flushing. The advantages of their use:
- flush improves;
- the smell from the toilet disappears;
- cleaning of the bowl is facilitated, plaque does not form on the walls;
