[Public-list] Air Head Toilet

[Brian Hofler]

Hello Andy:

Thank you very much for that endorsement of the Airhead. I was beginning to
wonder if I was potentially making the wrong decision. Although I had read
all the information and researched the concept, until now, I had not heard
of anyone currently using the system. As well, I was wondering about which
handle to order - now you have solved that issue too. I'll check out the
reviews in the magazines and perhaps I'll contact Good Old Boat and suggest
they do an article on the Airhead...Once again - Thanks.

Hi Brian,

I put an Airhead in my boat a little over a year ago. I'm a liveaboard
and at a private dock without access to pumpout. Plus I hate the chemical
smell of regular marine heads. I love the airhead, it works great, I get
over a month out of the 'dry' tank in the winter and even longer in the
warm months when I guess the compost  'cooks' faster.If you're not a
liveaboard of course it'll go even longer. The unit fits very nicely into
the head compartment in the A30. Go for the right hand agitator crank
handle. Nice review by Joe Youcha in the last (not most recent) issue of
WoodenBoat, also in Cruising World a couple years back. I believe
Practical Sailor has also reviewed it. Geoff can probably send you a copy
of that if you don't have it already.
Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Cheers,
        Andy
