Separett Freeze Plus Freezing toilet for underfloor heating

Description

Separett Freeze is a robust freezing toilet designed and manufactured in Finland. Freeze Plus model is suitable for use in bathrooms equipped with underfloor heating. 

The operation of a freezing toilet is based on freezing of all toilet waste inside the waste container. Efficient freezing makes all toilet waste totally odorless in matter of minutes. Biodegradable plastic bags are used in the bucket to empty and keep clean the waste container.

When using a freezing toilet, no dry material is added to the toilet, like with composting toilets. However, when the bucket is emptied to a composter, it is recommended to add some dry material for better composting process.

The technical operation of a freezing toilet reminds very closely to a regular freezer. Power consumption is low compared to incinerating toilets. Also, freezing toilets are generally very robust and have long product life-cycle. It is not anyhow extraordinary for a freezing toilet to last 15-20 years in use, because there are virtually no moving parts that could break in use.

Installation and use

By far the best advantages of a freezing toilet is easy and fast installation. All you need to do is plug in the power, put the plastic bag around the freeze bucket and you are good to go. The Freeze does not require any kind of a ventilation or piping. Therefore, you can place the toilet pretty much anywhere, eg. beside a bed.

General use cases

The freezing toilet suits best as an addition to an composting outhouse toilet. This is because the capacity or volume of the Freeze is limited, only 20 liters. Therefore, it is not ideal solution to be used as the only toilet available, especially if there are multiple users. In contrast, the freezing toilet is a great secondary toilet in house, when it is difficult to go out for toilet e.g. in nighttime or in winter.

Emptying the freezing toilet

Separett Freeze is emptied by lifting the freeze bucket inside the toilet. The freeze bucket and all toilet waste is then carried out and emptied into a special composter that is suitable for toilet waste composting. From our selection, you’ll find a great toilet waste composter called the Green. The Green has a double base inside it which separates urine from the solid toilet waste and hence composts efficiently and doesn’t smell.

If you are considering to take a freezing toilet into use, it is important to consider how the waste is treated. The normal way is to have a suitable composter in the yard for this purpose.
