Aquatron Composting Toilet System
The best Swedish separator technology paired with NZ-made manufacturing - a rugged, eco-friendly composting toilet system that still flushes.
Key Benefits
Easy composting
The Bio Chamber composts solids to just 5% of their original volume; composted material only needs removing about once a year.
No smells, no chemicals, no power
The system uses the toilet flush and gravity to work; no fan is needed.
Customisable to your needs
Multiple toilets can be installed above a single bio-chamber.
The best of both worlds
The unique separator means you get a flush toilet that's still a composting toilet.
Low, easy maintenance
No lugging heavy, smelly containers; you only ever handle composted material.
Highest quality standards
The best of Swedish and New Zealand manufacturing for a durable, reliable system.
Why Aquatron
The Aquatron combines the best Swedish separator technology with the highest-quality New Zealand manufacturing - a rugged, reliable, eco-friendly composting toilet system that still gives you the comfort of a flush. At its heart, the patented Aquatron Separator uses the momentum of the flush water, centrifugal force and gravity to split solids from liquid. No moving parts. No chemicals. No electricity.
How the Aquatron Works
The Aquatron works with a conventional household toilet pan - ideally a low-flush (6 litres maximum) with a P-trap. When you flush, waste travels to the genuine Aquatron Separator, made in Sweden and imported exclusively by us.
Inside this unique, patented separator, the momentum of the flush water, centrifugal force and gravity split the solids (waste and toilet paper) from the liquid - with no moving parts and no power. Solids drop into the NZ-made Bio Chamber to compost, while the liquid is diverted to a soakage field or joins the grey water for further treatment.
The Bio Chamber has four rotating bins. When the first fills with solids, you turn the handle so the second bin takes over. By the time the first bin comes back around, compost worms have reduced the solids to about 5% of their original volume - so you only remove composted material about once a year at most, depending on climate and use.

The Patented Aquatron Separator
Every system uses the genuine, patented and CE-certified Aquatron Separator, imported from Sweden. It harnesses the momentum of the flush water, plus centrifugal force and gravity, to split solids from liquid — with no moving parts and no power. Up to three standard toilets can share a single separator; a larger model handles up to eight flushing at once.
