Separett Villa
Separett Villa
Silent and odorless
Separett Villa is the most advanced, trouble free compost toilet available for on grid or off-grid living. It is waterless and urine diverting and with its simplicity and unlimited capacity it offers a comfortable toilet visit. Thanks to the urine separation, both the smell and the volume of the waste that must be disposed of are reduced. With the strong 12V fan, the toilet can handle installations up to 20 feet long and with up to three 90° elbows.
The toilet can be operated with 110-240 V AC or with 12 V DC solar cell / battery power. The fan has very low energy consumption of 0.06 kWh / 24h and is therefore suitable for battery or solar cell operation as well. The battery and battery cables are not included.
Previously known as Separett Villa 9215 and Separett Villa US.
High Capacity
With its 6 gallon solids container, the toilet works just as well during continuous and alternating use. Therefore suitable for both leisure and permanent living. A holiday home with five people usually needs to empty the solids container in the toilet every 4 to 6 weeks.
High Reliability
Villa has high operational reliability, is easy to install and does not take up more space than a standard toilet seat. The toilet space is constantly ventilated by the toilet fan and urine is separated from other waste, which makes the toilet space odorless. The view screen hides the dry waste and is only pushed away when you sit down to use the toilet.
Installation Instructions
Toilet placement
Separett Villa has no requirements for room temperature and works in both cold and warm spaces. The only requirements are that you must be able to lead the urine away and fit a ventilation pipe.
The toilet is made to be placed on the floor against the wall, and for extra stability it should be attached either to the floor, the wall or both.
Drill holes according to installation template
The installation instructions show possible installation options for urine drain and ventilation pipe through the wall, the ceiling or the floor. The installation template shows the places for holes in a simple installation through the wall behind the toilet.
Install ventilation pipe
The toilet is designed for 3" schedule 20 or schedule 40 PVC ventilation pipe. This U.S. standard pipe has an external diameter of 3.5". Separett Villa can be installed with up to 20 feet of ventilation piping and three 90-degree bends. Ventilated air can go through a wall, floor or ceiling, for example, up into an attic and out through a suitable side of the house. If there is already a ventilation pipe present from a previous toilet installation, the toilet may be connected to that duct, provided that it is not smaller than 3 inches and that it meets the piping requirements.
The toilet comes with a coupling for connecting the toilet to 3 inch schedule 20 or 40 PVC pipes.
An original Separett 6.6 ft ventilation kit with wall brackets is available here. The pipes feature a thin-wall design, making them lightweight, and their color is matched to other Separett pipes and connectors for a consistent appearance.
Install urine hose
The toilet is delivered with a 6 1/2 ft urine hose. To connect this to the toilet, use the included straight connector or the 90-degree elbow. It is possible to connect the urine tube so that no pipe is visible where the toilet is installed. This is achieved by angling the 90-degree elbow downwards or using the straight connection leading the pipe out through the wall behind the toilet.
Recommendations for installation of urine hose
Villa provides the option of installing the urine hose without any visible pipes/tubes in the bathroom. Below are a few tips that should be followed to maintain a well-functioning urine outlet over time and all year round.
- If you are going to go through an insulated wall or a wall with an air gap between the inner and outer wall, you must use a pipe for the penetration, or lead the hose through a pipe. Pipes are used to reduce the risk of pests causing damage to the tube.
- If you are going to run the urine a longer distance than the 6 1/2 ft of the supplied hose, you should switch to a pipe after the 6 1/2 ft. Since urine contains minerals that can accumulate in pipes/ hoses, we recommend that the subsequent pipe have an internal diameter of at least 1 1/2" to avoid blockages.
- Make sure that you always have a downward inclination of at around 2 degrees (0.8 inch per 40 inch) throughout the piping, also make sure that there are no air pockets created by bends in the hose.
- If the toilet is to be used in winter, outdoor pipes must have an internal diameter of at least 1 1/2”.
- If the toilet is to be used in winter, we recommend that you insulate outdoor pipes with pipe insulation. This insulation can be bought in most DIY stores.
- An important rule for longer installations (over 6 1/2 ft) is that the sooner you switch to pipes with a larger diameter, the lower the risk of blockages in the pipes.
- Do not place pipe joints near electrical appliances or wall sockets. This is to prevent liquid from coming into contact with electricity in the event of a leak.
