Aqua privy
Aqua privy The conventional aquaprivy is essentially a small septic tank located directly below a squatting plate which has a drop pipe extending below the liquid level in the tank to form a simple water seal. To prevent odor, fly and mosquito nuisance in the toilet, the water seal has to be maintained by adding sufficient water per toilet visit to the tank via the drop-pipe to replace any losses. The excreta are deposited directly into the tank where they are decomposed anaerobically similar to a septic tank. A housing or shed is built over the tank. A vent pipe with a fly screen at the top end is attached to the housing. A water-tight tank is desirable to minimize losses. An effluent (overflow) pipe is installed above the level of the drop-pipe.
