Composting Head 1 Year Update

Well it’s now 14 months or so since we installed the Natures Head on Valkyr. I have had several people ask me for an update on our experiences with it,so here it goes. Overall we are extremely happy with the change from a standard marine head and holding tank to a composting head. Both me and my wife would do it over in the blink of an eye.

Positives for us include

  • Overall total lack of odor.
  • Ease of changing the composting mix.
  • Regaining the use of two compartments under the v-berth and space in the port side v-berth hanging closet.
  • Ease of Maintenance and totally removing or putting the unit back in place.
  • Ease of initial installation compared to a standard marine head
  • 90% less maintenance than a standard head and what maintenance you do end up doing is much less nasty.
