Phoenix™ | R-201

When throughput is higher and downtime isn’t an option, choose Phoenix™ R-201. As the high-capacity model in the Phoenix™ Composting Toilet family, R-201 is sized for lodges, multi-bathroom dwellings, visitor centres, campgrounds, marae and community facilities—anywhere a durable, odour-free, low-power system must keep pace with real-world traffic and straightforward maintenance.

Capacity

Residential rating: 8 persons continuous (assume ~6 uses/person/day).
Day-visitor/public: single-use guidance available; short surges (events, holiday peaks) are typically handled at ~30% above the day-visitor daily average.
Scaling strategy: for dispersed amenities (multiple blocks/floors), deploy multiple R-201s or mix R-201 with R-200 to match layout and peak patterns.

Features

Odourless operation: a continuous 12 V fan maintains negative pressure through the chute and vent stack—fresh bathrooms even at higher loads.
Mixing: heavy stainless rake/mixing tines geometry—built for commercial reality.
Built to last: cross-linked polyethylene chamber and stainless hardware withstand commercial environments and seasonal extremes.
Flexible interfaces: dry toilet via 310mmDia vertical chute, or micro-flush/vacuum-flush where falls or distances demand it—interfaces to suit architecture, fall constraints, and user expectations.
Serviceable design: annual compost removal via the lower access door; straightforward checks for fan, vent, drains, and spray system.
Low energy demand: ~5 W continuous—simple to run from solar/battery systems.

Bathroom Fixture options

• Waterless dry toilet via 12" (~310 mm) vertical chute for the simplest, lowest-maintenance install. (ZERO DISCHARGE SYSTEM)
• Micro-flush (≈0.5 L) or vacuum-flush options where architectural layouts need offsets or same-floor runs.

Applications

Commercial eco-tourism and outdoor education centres.
Visitor centres, campgrounds, multi-unit lodges, and community facilities.
Large homes or multi-generational living seeking a robust, low-maintenance solution.
