Toilet Types for Tiny Houses

Tiny House Lifestyle Podcast

The type of toilet you choose to install in your tiny home will definitely affect things like your budget, your other systems, and your ability to travel. It's a question that I get from time to time, so I thought I would share this short and informational session with you. I am talking through what I chose for my tiny house, the different types of toilets that exist, how they work, and the pros and cons of each.
In This Episode:

• Water usage and flush toilets in a tiny home environment
• Waste water tanks and weight impacts
• Alternative solutions to flush and compost toilets
• Breaking down the pros and cons of commercial compost toilets
• All about bucket-style compost toilets
