Frequently asked questions
-
WHAT POWER DOES AN OGO™ ORIGIN NEED? WHY DOES IT NEED POWER?
OGO™ Compost Toilet runs on a 12v DC power system. Most Off-Grid lifestyles still have some power source to run essentials. Whether you have a deep cycle battery and/or utilising one of the many alternative power sources, OGO™ Compost Toilet can be easily wired to the source or you can buy a power adapter for a 240V outlet.
As to why power is required, it is due to the automatic agitation system and venting fan. Anyone that has used a composting toilet system knows hand cranking can become a problem within itself. So, with a small 12V motor and a push of a button no more headache of hand cranking.

HOW DO I EMPTY MY OGO™ ORIGIN COMPOST TOILET?
We made that easy too. OGO™ has a removable urine bottle and solids bin. Our patented urine diversion features make sure your waste is easy to dispose of.
-
HOW MUCH DOES THE OGO™ ORIGIN SOLIDS BIN HOLD?
25-30 solids depending on the number of people using it. The cubic volume of the entire solids bin is 12.86L. We recommend starting the fill height of medium about 12-15cm off the bottom of the solids bin. The solids bin has about a 25cm diameter and 25cm height.
Installation Tips
Venting / hose: For some installation variants, longer hose lengths might be required. In these cases, we recommend extending the supplied hose with a commercially available HT pipe DN40. You can also use this pipe as a wall duct for the exhaust air. Cut it to the right length (wall thickness + 5 cm) and glue it in place. Even if it is not absolutely necessary with the OGO™, it is recommended to always install a flexible piece of hose towards the toilet so that it can be pulled off for possible maintenance work.
Floor construction: Depending on the floor construction, you will need appropriate screws (4 pieces). Power connection: Ensure a 10A fuse and adequate cable thickness. If you want to operate the toilet on a 230 volt mains supply (house connection), this can be done with the help of a power supply unit. You will need a 12V 10A power supply unit with a 5.5 mm x 2.5 mm hollow plug, such as those used for monitors.
