Letter the the "Practical Sailor" editor: November 19, 2002
The two of us have been using the Air Head Toilet for some months now. We installed it on dry land to test its capabilities before committing to installing it on our boat. Our experience has been much as yours -- excellent, heavy duty marine construction, virtually no odor except for a couple of days on start up when it was just noticeable. Last week we emptied the solids container (for the first time) by simply dumping it into a plastic sack. It was mostly a nonevent, a small fraction of the hassle of cleaning/working on any other toilet -- marine or house. A real plus for this unit has been the relationship and support with the manufacturer. They have gone very far out of their way with good advice and technical support to make sure the unit worked properly. They are the kind of company that I would like to do more business with, but probably won't have to.

We've been using an Air Head composting toilet since 2002 and it has worked beautifully. No holding tank to deal with, no smelly hoses, no problem proving we conformed to the "absolutely no discharge" rules in areas like the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. No pumps, no clogs, no moving parts. We are on a sailboat and a big plus was the storage space we gained when we got rid of the holding tank. We also freed up 2 thru-hulls when we removed the old head, one of which will be used for a watermaker intake and the other for a manual seawater pump at the sink in case of a power failure. The toilet itself is virtually odor-free (there is a slight scent to the peat moss "desiccant" when you first set it up) and the active vent improves the overall air quality and ventilation in the boat.

I keep telling our customers about your system. We now have been using it for 8 years. We are doing the Baja HaHa this year. I'll make sure to let all the cruisers about AirHeadToliet.

Hi, You may recall I purchased an AirHead about 5 years ago, and am still a happy user!

You have a great product and it definitely was a wise move on our part to install your system. Thanks so much for the great customer service you provide. We keep telling people about your toilet so hopefully you'll get some more Canadian orders.
Regards,

Thankyou for the advice. We'll try it out. I'm also promoting the Airhead at our Yacht club. Of all the things that I have purchased for my boat over the years, I think the Airhead has been one of the most worthwhile things.

Installed our unit last week. So far it works as expected which is very well. Vent is not completed yet but in 3 days of use no odor at all. I've included some pictures of the installation. This is on a 25' sailboat.
