The 3rd tank filters out all residues and discharges the water clean to the surface water. This process is organic and requires limited maintenance. One condition is that a dry toilet is used **, since the system cannot handle feces. **Dry toilet = In the toilet, urine and feces are separated; urine goes into the IBA and the feces goes into a bio-tank. That container dries the feces and extracts moisture and air. As a result, it does not smell. The bio-tank can be emptied into the green compost bin at home once every three weeks.
