Frequently asked questions

FAQ

All our toilets are designed to support users up to 120 kg, without any risk of damage or reduced performance.

Use Thetford Separation Toilet Bowl Cleaner to clean and rinse the hose if clogging occurs. If needed, the urine hose assembly is available as a spare part and can be easily replaced.

Thetford Separation Toilet Bowl Cleaner is specially developed to clean both the bowl and the toilet effectively. The valve and blade can be easily detached for cleaning – quick, safe, and without any risk of damage.

When the tank indicator is red (full), open the tank’s filling cap. This allows the toilet bowl and tube to drain fully into the tank. Then close the cap again. You can now empty the urine tank safely and cleanly – without drips or leaks.

Compared to competition Thetford offers more value for money. The complete Thetford Separation toilet (S220 or S260) has an RRP of € 850 and the Thetford Separation Kit (SK220 or SK260) has a RRP of € 599.

Our products are tailored for separation systems, and clean and maintain the toilet without affecting the toilet’s components.

No, the Separation Toilet does not require any water to operate. Our Thetford Toilet Bowl Cleaner is water-free and perfect for off-grid use.

Urine can simply be poured into any regular toilet.

Solid waste can be disposed of with regular household waste (always check local regulations to be sure).

By adding a drying agent, liquids are absorbed and you’re left with much drier, easier-to-handle waste. The Separation Toilet Waste Bags are made from recycled plastic and produced using the strongest material available, so they safely contain the waste when closed correctly and prevent leaks or unpleasant odours.

Of course, local regulations decide what’s allowed. But thanks to the Separation Toilet Drying Agent and our extra-strong Waste Bags, disposing of your waste is a clean, simple and worry-free process.

If you travel off-grid often or don’t want to use flush water or chemicals, this system offers comfort, hygiene, and flexibility. The system does not require water to operate and consumables are optional.

A separation toilet is a type of dry (non-flush) toilet that separates solid and liquid waste at the source.

Solid waste is collected in waste bags made from recycled material and can be disposed of in residual waste bins, where permitted. The urine tank can be emptied into any household toilet.

It’s an increasingly popular choice among campers, vanlifers and off-grid enthusiasts who are looking for a waterless and believe a separation toilet is a more environment conscious alternative to traditional cassette toilets.

Warranty

There is a three year warranty on all of our products. Spare parts purchased carry a one year warranty, and any fitting and/or labour costs associated with spare parts are not covered by warranty. (See warranty conditions).

Usage

Our Separation Toilet builds on the trusted C220 and C260 cassette toilets, used in many motorhomes and caravans across Europe. That means you benefit from a proven platform, familiar installation and access to Thetford’s European service network.

If you already have a C220 or C260, you can install the Separation Kit and convert your existing toilet without replacing the full unit.

The system is fully integrated and serviced through the exterior service door, so you do not have to carry waste through your vehicle. The urine and solid containers, or waste bags made from recycled plastic, are removed directly from outside. The urine tank has a secure, leak free connection to help prevent spills.

The toilet works without water and any drying agents or cleaners are optional. The bowl and blade are designed to guide waste correctly and reduce splashing, while keeping cleaning simple.

Cleaning and maintenance

During regular use, you can use water from time to time, or add Separation Toilet Urine Tank Fresh to keep the hose clean.

If you would like to clean it more thoroughly, the hose can be removed without difficulty.

The hose length supports the 180-degree rotation of the toilet bowl. When installed correctly, gravity ensures smooth drainage into the urine tank.

The connection to the tank is closed and secure, helping prevent leaks or spills.

The toilet bowl has an ergonomic shape that helps guide waste correctly and reduces splashing. In addition, the blade has been designed to hang at an angle of more than 180 degrees, which reduces the chance of it getting dirty during use.

To keep everything hygienic and working smoothly, we recommend emptying the solid container regularly. The blade can also be removed easily for separate cleaning if needed.

We provide waste bags made from recycled plastic. We do not offer biodegradable bags because they can start dissolving when exposed to moisture, which may lead to hygiene concerns inside the toilet.

Regardless of the type of bag, human waste must be disposed of in residual waste bins. It is not permitted in organic waste containers.

Solid waste is collected in a recycled plastic bag and dried with a drying agent before being disposed of in a residual waste bin, where local rules allow. Urine is collected separately in the urine tank and can be emptied into any household toilet.


For further cleaning:
• Wipe surfaces with Thetford Separation Toilet Bowl Cleaner for a fresh and spotless bowl
• For urine scale, use Thetford Separation Toilet Urine Tank Fresh to keep the urine container and the hose clean
• Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage plastics, seals, or coatings
• The valve and blade can also be removed for a deeper clean

Use Thetford Separation Toilet Urine Tank Fresh and Thetford Separation Toilet Drying Agent for daily odour control. For extra odour control, add the optional ventilator kit. Regularly clear your toilet bowl with Thetford Separation Toilet Bowl Cleaner.

Still noticing an odour? In most cases, it is easy to solve:
• Check whether the waste containers need emptying
• Make sure enough drying agent is used in the solid waste container
• Check if the ventilator is working properly and not blocked
