Incinolet Basement Toilet
Transform Your Basement Space with the Incinolet Waterless Toilet
Turning a basement into a living space almost always runs into one wall: there’s no easy way to add a toilet. How do you install a toilet in a basement without drainage? With Incinolet, that question stops mattering. Our waterless toilet runs on electricity alone, so you don’t need a trench, ejector pumps, or torn-up slabs.
- No plumbing, no drainage line, no concrete cutting
- Plugs into a dedicated 20 amp electrical circuit
- Saves over 2,000 gallons of water per year
- Simple venting and a straightforward plug-in setup
Why Do Basements Need Different Toilets?
Basements lie below the main sewer line in most homes. Therefore, gravity can’t carry waste out on its own. A regular toilet down there usually means a pricey ejector pump or a jackhammer through the slab. That’s an expensive project, and honestly, a bigger headache than most homeowners bargain for.
How Does a Waterless Basement Toilet Work?
Incinolet uses electric heat instead of water. Before doing your business, you place a liner in the bowl. Once you’ve finished, you press the foot pedal located on the side of the toilet. This drops the waste into the burn chamber, also known as the ashpan. Then, you simply press the button to start the incineration cycle. Heat and airflow reduce the waste to a small amount of sterile ash. You don’t have to deal with water lines, odors, or tanks.
Can You Skip Breaking the Concrete?
How can I add a toilet to my basement without breaking concrete? You can add a toilet to your basement with our innovative product. There is no plumbing to bury when you invest in Incinolet. There is no jackhammer involved in the installation process. You have to place the unit, run a vent pipe outside, and connect it to a dedicated circuit.
Is Incinolet Safe to Use at Home?
Incinolet meets strict safety standards for electric appliances used in the home. The incineration chamber stays sealed during each cycle. This helps keep heat and waste contained. You should supervise young children around the unit, the same way you would with any electric appliance in the house.
Where Else Does Incinolet Work Well?
Basements are just one use case among many for this toilet. Cabins, guest houses, workshops, and RVs benefit from the same waterless setup. Wherever plumbing access is limited or impractical, Incinolet gives you a dependable bathroom option.
Why Choose a Waterless Toilet for a Basement?
Plumbing options in a basement come loaded with hidden costs and headaches. Here’s how Incinolet compares against the usual basement bathroom routes.
Option Plumbing Required Installation Work Water Use
Standard toilet + ejector pump – Yes
Concrete cutting, trenching, pump wiring ~1.6 gallons per flush Composting toilet – No
Ventilation setup, ongoing compost handling None, but needs regular servicing Incinolet waterless toilet – No
Vent pipe plus a dedicated outlet – Zero
How Much Does a Basement Toilet Cost?
Costs vary by home. However, skipping plumbing work saves real money upfront. Acquiring permits, concrete cutting and an ejector pump install alone can run several thousand dollars before you have even bought a toilet. Our setup keeps that number far lower. Typically only distributors and large institutional orders benefit from quotes. Retail customers do not require one.
