I will have an Airhead Toilet from my old boat. Has anyone installed an Airhead in a NS 26?
Tim is STL (where it has been 70 F all week, wishing that it were the same in Canada.)
This video of SV Swallow has a composting head on board.
That’s me! … and my airhead. I love it. I’ve run the exhaust hose a little better now, to a solar vent and it’s been working great! The install was super easy and it freed up all sorts of storage under the starboard quarter birth when I removed the holding tank.
We have a Airhead in a 30U. Things we have learned over the years:
-
it is real high - short people will need a step stool to use to sit (but for a guy standing, it is idea).
-
the seal on the liquid container for our vessel is not as good as it could be - we have learned to treat the liquids like voting in Chicago of old - empty it early and often.
-
it is the liquids that smell, not the solids - empty early and often.
-
taking out the old WC toilet, holding tank, pump, etc. resulted in a bag with 47 hose clamps - that is a lot of possible leaks.
-
our unit gets in the way of opening the drawers in the head totally. We manage.
-
the area where the holding tank previously was is good for a real lot of beer (but problem - the liquid tank is much smaller!)
-
we too use a solar fan, installed on the Dorade box. Keep meaning to build a new large box so the fan does not overhang the sides.
-
plan at some point to re-run the exhaust hose using solid PVC where possible to have better airflow. We pulled the supplied little fan out of the system so it did not slow down airflow.

I used the pump out line for the air vent and put a vetus vent on top of the old pump out hole, I didn’t even remove the pump out fixture.
