Nature’s Head is an innovative composting
toilet designed by sailors with the constraints
of boats in mind. Therefore this compact head
is ideal for boats, caravans and motorhomes,
holiday homes, workshops etc.
Wherever plumbing and space saving is an
issue Nature’s Head is an environmentally
friendly, affordable, space saving, self
contained option and a welcome alternative
to chemical toilets & ‘porta potties’.
Nature’s Head separates urine from solid
waste. Because of this, the unit has an
extraordinary holding capacity – one fill of
compost could last an entire boating season
for weekend sailors or one month for a
cruising or live-aboard couple.

Power connection
A simple 12 Volt fan (similar to those found in computers) drawing less than 1 amp is the only power requirement for the unit.
The power hook-up − a single pin attachment with a wire length of 6 feet (1.80 m) − is also included.
As with all electrical connections, ensure that your head is on a fused circuit.
The fuse should be no less than 2 amps and no more than 5 amps.
Powerless installation
The unit can also be installed in a completely powerless installation by using a solar vent on the cabin top and attaching the vent
hose underneath. Make sure to choose a solar vent with battery back-up so that the head will vent continuously.
The fan can be left in the unit if you decide on this option.
Venting
The unit must be vented outside to allow for proper growth of the beneficial bacteria needed in the composting process and to keep
the head smelling fresh. The vent will also provide the additional benefit of continuous ventilation of fresh air.
That means that installing a Nature’s Head should improve air quality and reduce humidity throughout the boat / motorhome etc.
Solar vents, mushroom vents or clamshell vents (which are not provided with your Nature’s Head) are most commonly used for
venting to the exterior. You will need to choose a vent that best meets your requirements.
As outlined below, use of a solar vent with a battery back-up so that the head will vent continuously, represents an alternative
power-free installation.
Provided with your Nature’s Head are hose adaptors that connect directly to the head and the outside vent.
A venting hose, also included, then attaches directly to these adapters.
Clamping is not necessary on the connection with the Head and not normally necessary on the exterior connector.
On an overhead connection, you may find it necessary to clamp the vent end, depending on the amount of support you provide for
the vent hose. Provided the hose is supported adequately, you will probably not need a clamp.
The vent hose must go on the housing that has the fan inside it. The unit is designed to pull fresh air through the head and ventilate
it outside. If you disassemble the fan housing, always remember to check that the fan is blowing out of the vent before attaching
the vent hose.
The fan/filter flange is interchangeable with the filter-only flange should you want to change the side it’s located on for easier
installation. Simply swap sides with the components and their respective housings.
Finally, the agitator handle must be attached to the pre-threaded agitator. If you’d like to move the handle to the opposite site of
the base, the agitator must be removed manually, reversed and replaced. The extended nut must be re-attached before connecting
the handle. It is recommended that you use a spanner to hold the extended nut while you tighten the nut to the agitator and then
the handle to the nut. Both should be reasonably tight so that they don’t become loose when the unit is in service.
