Winterizing the Air Head Composting Toilet in an RV or boat involves a few key steps to ensure it remains functional and odor-free during colder months:
Empty the Unit: Empty both solids and urine containers before cold weather.
Clean Thoroughly: Use natural cleaners for a thorough clean of the entire unit.
Add Antifreeze: If occasionally in use, add non-toxic antifreeze to the urine bottle.
Maintain Ventilation: Keep the fan and ventilation system running to prevent moisture build-up.
Insulate Pipes/Vents: Insulate external vents or pipes against freezing.
Monitor Moisture: Adjust composting medium levels to manage moisture in colder temperatures.
Use a Heater: In extreme cold temperatures, consider a seedling mat heater under the unit to maintain composting temperatures.
