Separett Villa 9215 AC/DC Urine Diverting and Composting Toilet

What is the wattage of the vent fan running on 12 Volts DC?

Hello, 

The fan runs on .2 Amps.  Let us know if you have any other questions! 

When you walk by that side of your house where the venting is, is there an odor?

When you go to the bathroom and have fresh solids in there, there may be an initial odor, but there shouldn't be a lingering one coming out of the vent.  

will this Separett Villa 9215 AC/DC Urine Diverting Toilet work in a van with gray water tank ?

Yes, you would just need to plumb the urine into the gray water tank. You will also need to have venting for the toilet as well.    

can you run the outside vent pipe up above the roof, because it seems like the smell will be outside instead of inside

You can but it is not necessary. If you vent the toilet outside there could be miniscule to no smell.    

What do I do to the unit during winter to avoid freezing?

Your only concern would be the urine freezing. But with that said Urine freezes at around 23 F. According to Separett: You should ensure that the urine waste pipe has a drop along its entire length and use at least 50mm (2") pipe outdoors. It may also be a good idea to insulate the piping sections that run outdoors if you get a lot of freezing temperatures in the winter.    

Are these different than the 9210 model available in Canada? Do you ship the9215 to Canada?

Hello, 

The only difference is that 9215 comes with pipe adapters from metric to imperial, and a international AC power adapter, usable anywhere in the world. So yes, 9215 will work in Canada.  

We have been trying to contact a Canadian distributor but have had no response.  I will reach out again today and update you if we can get one shipped out to you.  Please reply to this with your address, so we can contact the appropriate warehouse.

I am renovating a 1951 Spartan trailer, which has a wet bathroom, would this work? I really love this unit, and think its our best option, but want to make sure it works in a wetter environment. Thanks

Hello, 

What is the storage capacity of the solids container? Does the vent fan do a good job at controlling odors?

Hello, 

The solids bin on the Separett Villa 9215 can hold about 6.1 gallons (23 liters). When used regularly, this container can hold solid trash for three to six weeks.

Odor control: The fan creates a constant airflow, pulling odors out of the bathroom and venting them outside. Buyers say that the fan does exceptionally well at getting rid of odors.  We have not received any complaints from our customers about any smell. 

Drying of solid waste: The airflow also helps dry the solid waste, reducing moisture and further minimizing the chance of odors developing.

The fan operates on both AC (standard household electricity) and DC (battery or solar power), making it versatile for both on-grid and off-grid applications. Proper installation of the vent pipe is crucial for ensuring optimal odor control. As long as the system is installed correctly and the fan is functioning properly, most users find that odor is well managed.

Hello,

This fan is designed to be easily replaceable and fits specifically within the housing unit for the Villa 9215 model. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Does the fan run 24/7. Is there a switch to shut the fan off ?

Hello, 


The Separett Villa 9215 AC/DC toilet fan does not run continuously. Instead, it has a built-in fan timer that automatically turns the fan on when the toilet is in use and turns it off after a set amount of time. This helps to conserve power and extend the life of the fan. However, if you need to turn off the fan manually, there is a switch on the side of the fan housing that you can use to do so. Let me know if you have any other questions.
