AGITATOR WORKED BY OUTSIDE HANDLE (NOT SHOWN) PorUible Chemiad Toilet Drawbacks The chief disadvantage of the chemi- cal toilet is that like the pail and vault privies, it does not solve the problem. Using a chemical disinfectant is also a coin w ith tw o sides. The same chemical that so conveniently inhibits decomposition during use continues to inhibit it afterwards, and disposing of wastes must ultimately take place through bacterial decomposition. A chemical toilet may discharge through an overflow, or be emptied into a cesspool. Otherwise, it must be periodically pumped out by a service contractor in the same manner as a vault privy Even if a cesspool is used, periodic cleaning out of settled solids and removal by a pump-out contrac- tor are required Incincerator Toilets In these units, which may be heated by either gas or electricity, the wastes are burned to a dry, sterile ash. The toilet consists of the in- cinerator unit, the necessary insula- tion, and the stack to lead combustion products away Operation may require burning after each use, or permit stor- age of sewage for incineration at a more convenient time. In the former type, the burning cycle may be inter- rupted at any time for further use, but the frequency of interruptions is li- mited by the "storage" capacity of the equipment. Toilet wastes are mainly composed of water Consequently, b
