Description
The Separett Privy 501 is essentially the same bowl design as the Privy 500, but with a standard toilet seat and lid, making it look more conventional in appearance.
The Privy 501 is a toilet seat and bowl that separates liquid and solids. It can be used as part of your own self-build compost toilet and requires very little space for installation. Comes with dark grey urine separator, white hygienic seat and lid, 2.5 metres of flexible urine hose and box with a cutting template (printed onto the box). Installation is simple (see video below) and you’re free to make the surround box as utilitarian or complex as you like!
Perfect for people who want to build their own compost toilet. Keeping the liquids and solids separate is key to odour suppression and easy management of the outputs.
Most people use sawdust, wood shavings or similar as a cover material, so once you’ve ‘been’, you can cover your offering with sawdust to suppress the odours. Just provide your own solids container and run the urine to a soak-away pit (or capture it in a container), and you’re up and running with your own compost toilet!
New for 2020! The Privy 501 separating bowl is now made from a grey recyclable plastic (rather than the previous blue model). The seat is still wipe-clean and durable white plastic.

It’s great, we’re very happy with it.

We use them a lot. It’s a brilliant design and perfect for a woodland situation. They’re great because you can build your own structure and they fit well.

The product is good albeit pricey, and it works well.

The product is simple and effective. It does what the description on the website says it will. It is easy to integrate into our shed which we built ourselves.
