So this may not be exactly what you were expecting but I was cruising the BuilditSolar website and someone has a Solar Privy that uses an IBC for heat storage and to warm the Privy. Now we don't like to think of our IBC totes as privy warmers but I thought someone (me for one) might get something useful out of this. Here's the link - http://www.builditsolar.com/Projects/Water/SolarLoo/SolarLoo.htm

:laughing3: if you UE that think as a duel function with a fish tank then I think people might point out that you should only use the fish produce for personal consumption.

You could add a RFF to remove the solids but I wouldn't want to do the maintenance. :naughty:

Think about it though, it's self feeding in the Summer, just think of all the flies if you leave the door open.

:D

Actually something like putting a black fly larvae operation on one side and the tank on the other, might work out if they don't overfeed the fish.

Jargon is as much about creating a sense of belonging amongst those that understand and sense of superiority over those who don't as it is about saving time and communicating efficiently. :tongue2:
