An ecological dry bath It is one of the most powerful environmental care alternatives, since it allows us to save water while generating fertile soil for the planet, we also help reduce the emission of CO2. However, despite its advantages, it is still not as popular as it should. Because? It has a lot to do with its aesthetics and functionality.
When it comes to adopting the dry bathing system, most consumers wonder if they will smell badly, if you will look good and how complicated your installation will be. And it's not for less. The greatest WC innovation with water system It was precisely the promise of hygiene with which it came accompanied. When Alexander Cummings patented the toilet with siphon in 1775humanity completely changed its waste management system, the invention revolutionized the world. At that time it was not thought that one day we would face a generalized or that in the long run the waste generated would cause very serious problems of contamination in the aquifer mantles of the planet. Moreover, one of the most impressive systems of modern architecture and engineering was created to accompany the invention: the drain and sewerage.
But, the bath as we know it generates disadvantages such as water waste and pollution. Although the dry bath has gained groundhe still has a stretch to go to be adopted in a general way. Someday it will not be an option, but the way to continue as a rule. While we get used to, we can also make it look impeccable.

How functional is an ecological dry bath?
When it comes to going to the bathroom, what we least want is to have to «venchn them» with our waste, although the healthiest for us and for the planet is the opposite. The better we know our waste, the more responsible we will be our health, but it is the need to disappear that has done so popular to the WC: we pull the lever and voila. How to compete with that?
In a dry bath we also disappear the waste, But using sawdust, earth or a mixture of dry leaves and dry compositional material, hence its name. For those who use it, it is as easy as urinating and throwing a bit of sawdust on the waste. The sanitary paper can also compose, so even the garbage boat, disappears and becomes a new deposit for sawdust.
