Made from Coconut Husk – a waste product of the coconut processing industry, this compressed coir will expand up to three times its size when rehydrated with water. It makes approximately 8 litres of coir.
Coco coir is a peat substitute and is used as a carbon-based cover material in the Separett Weekend Prime and as a base ‘medium’ in the Air Head toilet.
The coir brick works slightly differently in the toilets – make sure you rehydrate it correctly according to your needs:
Place one coir brick into a container with approximately 3 litres of warm water. As it absorbs the water and rehydrates, it will start to crumble and break apart – encourage this with a tool or your hands. Eventually, it will create 8-9 litres of cover material.
Place an amount in the base of the solids container and then a small handful after each ‘solids’ use. The coir will absorb excess liquids and reduce the odour.
Compared to using it for the Separett Weekend Prime, the Air Head final result should be drier, so you will use less water.
For the best (and fastest) results for the Air Head, place the coir brick in an appropriately sized ziplock plastic bag and seal the bag once the water has been added – you can break the coir up by squeezing the bag
The rehydrated coir is all added to the base. The stirring action on the Air Head, together with the drying of the fan helps in breaking the solids up and eliminating odours.

Nice to get a brick to start but as not yet installed the loo can’t comment on the brick
Very pleased with the service.

No problems. Very prompt service.
Good service, the product was just as described
Excellent product works perfectly
Product is fine. There was a bit of a blip with our order, we paid for next day delivery but that didn’t happen, eventually all sorted out, we were refunded for our postage, so really no problems.
Trying all the products to keep those wimpy peeps pleased, does that job well.
I recently switched to WooWoo’s coir bricks after being unhappy with those of a different brand. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. It soaks up the water perfectly and it’s great overall, right down to the packaging.
Good
