With HELIPOTT, liquids and solids are separated in a special toilet bowl consisting of two separate compartments. Already familiar with this? Then read on, HELIPOTT can do much more. HELIPOTT E-Drive: The solids land directly in a container with a fully automatic agitator, where they are mixed with a dry substrate (coconut fibers). With HELIPOTT, fresh dry substrate is added once at the beginning and continues for 20-30 uses (i.e. longer sessions). Manually adding dry substrate is not necessary, as the agitator stirs automatically when the toilet lid is closed, thus reducing odors to a minimum. A fan inside the toilet sucks away any odors that arise during the toilet and transports them outside via an exhaust pipe. For liquids, the automatic spray device in the separation bowl keeps things tidy. After use, it sprays a small amount of water into the urinal, also automatically when the lid is closed. Emptying the urine tank is very smart and convenient and can be done using a normal toilet or, at campsites, the emptying station.

How to dispose of the solids: HELIPOTT tells you when it's time to dispose of them. To empty them, simply remove the agitator and tip the compostable material into your household waste or compost bin*. Rinsing with water or other materials is not necessary. Disposal is therefore extremely convenient with HELIPOTT. The laborious removal of the agitator container and agitator, as in previous models, is now a thing of the past. *If you have your own garden, you can put the material in the compost bin. There, the solids will compost into humus after at least 24 months. Make sure it's a closed compost bin with a lid so that no black water is washed into the soil. How to dispose of the liquids: The Helipott also has an indicator for the urine tank. When the tank is full, you can simply remove it. The urine can be disposed of directly in a toilet or at a waste disposal station. Or if you have your own garden, it can also be diluted with water and used as plant fertilizer.

It's actually quite simple. Your body is already smart enough to separate its waste into solid and liquid. This natural principle should also be maintained during disposal. Firstly, the separation of solid and liquid substances prevents mixing. This means that the chemical reactions that form ammonia-containing compounds and lead to strong odors simply cannot take place. Secondly, the solids are mixed with a dry substrate (coconut fibers). This causes the feces to dry out and any odors are no longer noticeable. A small integrated fan (included with E-Drive) keeps any remaining odors away for good. Even after extended periods of inactivity, no unpleasant odors develop. The remaining material looks and feels like potting soil, and also smells like it.

Toiletries such as toilet paper, pads, or tampons must be disposed of separately, preferably in a small trash can.

The compost bin with the agitator can be removed and emptied. Using the included spatula, you can loosen the soil-like substance slightly and then empty the bin. Any residue is usually dry and easily removed from the metal. Smaller residues may remain, which will be rubbed off and absorbed by the new substrate.

The HELIPOTT E-Drive is designed so that the agitator only operates when the lid is closed. This is monitored by the integrated sensors. However, it is not a toy, and small children should not handle it alone.

The main advantage of HELIPOTT is certainly that the excreted solids do not leave behind any unpleasant odors. See the "Reports and Blogs" section for more information. Another major advantage of the HELIPOTT E-Drive is that all functions run automatically. This makes it very easy to use. The user simply has to open the lid and close it again after use; the intelligent program takes care of the rest. This makes it safe and easy to use. As soon as the HELIPOTT E-Drive is connected to the power supply and switched on, it first performs a self-test and then goes into sleep mode to save energy. As soon as you open the lid, HELIPOTT wakes up from sleep mode and starts its program. Immediately afterwards, the ventilation and LED light up. If the LED is constantly lit, HELIPOTT is ready for use. If the LED flashes, something is wrong, such as the urine canister being empty or full. If everything is OK, you can do your business as usual. After closing the lid, two redundant sensors are activated to check whether the lid has been closed. If the lid is closed, the spraying system for the urinal (E-Drive Magic) and the agitation program start. The agitator rotates forward and backward for a set time, switches off, stirs again after a short time, and then for a few seconds every hour. When the substrate in the agitator becomes saturated, it begins to clump. At this point, the compost bin should be emptied.
