ABC Wednesday:Vault Toilets







http://abcwednesdayround3.blogspot.com/

I want to do something unconventional, not V for van.

When you have IBS and LBL, when you need to go, you got to go. I had a pleasant experience with a vault toilet at Whatipu. It was spacious, I suppose it catered for those with a wheel chair. The floor was clean, and there was absolutely no smell at all. In fact you smell of the fresh sea breeze.

You can see the vent system with the thing that goes whirling around on the top and naturally circulating fresh air into the building. This is really great for a place at the end of thirty minutes of metal road to a place where almost nobody goes.

Thanks to research by the U.S. Forest Service, stinky privies are now a thing of the past. The trick is to design the building and vent system so fresh air naturally flows through the building and out of the vault and vent pipe. The Forest Service calls this design the "sweet smelling toilet," and it really works.

This is my take for letter V, to compliment my other post Banzai. You got to read it and LOL.
