Porta Potty Folds To Briefcase Size

Porta Potty Folds To Briefcase Size FARM HOME Bathroom 30-1-31 "Now we don't have to come in from work to use the bathroom," says Rick Ryan, Great Falls, Mont., who emailed FARM SHOW recently to tell us about the PETT portable plastic toilet he has started using. "And the disposable bags are biodegradable so you just throw them way," he adds. The toilet weighs about 7 lbs. It rests on three 14-in. legs and folds to briefcase size. "It's designed to hold up to 500 lbs.," says Brian Phillips, vice president of Phillips Environmental Products, Inc. The key to making the system work is a specialized bag kit that has two biodegradable bags - a waste bag that has a non-toxic odorless powder in it that absorbs and treats the waste and a zip-closed disposal bag. The kit also includes tissue paper and hand sanitizer. "You can legally dispose of the used bags in the garbage," says Phillips, adding that there's enough powder for two or three uses in each kit. The toilet sells for $116.95 plus S&H. A 12-pack of bag kits sells for $38.95. The company also sells a privacy tent for $162.95 and a separate backpack to hold both toilet and tent for $76.95. A complete system that includes the toilet, privacy tent, 15 bag kits, backpack and collection bag for waste carryout sells for $383.95 plus S&H.
