While all portable toilets provide a means to go to the bathroom at outdoor events and job sites, they will function differently depending on the model that you select. For example, some units have the ability to flush the waste, rather than storing it in an open holding tank. If these deluxe units interest you, here is some more information about them to help you decide for your next rental. 

How Do They Work? 

Although port-a-potty flushing units still use holding tanks, they remain closed until you activate the foot pump. After using the portable toilet, the user presses the pump to trigger a hose. This moves the used water into the tank and transfers fresh water and cleaning chemicals into the bowl. This removes the waste for the next user. When the tank fills, a pumping service will empty it, much like a regular unit.

What Are the Benefits?

Most noticeably, a flushing port-a-potty is more pleasant and comfortable for the eyes and noses of your guests. This improves the experience of your event and increases user satisfaction, whether you’re throwing an outdoor wedding or working construction.

Also, since the pump is foot-operated, users don’t have to touch anything besides the sink or hand sanitizer with their hands. This reduces the spread of bacteria and promotes healthy practices for all individuals. 

However, there’s an additional advantage for the environment. Portable toilets that flush don’t require the same amount of water as most indoor bathrooms, reducing the amount of clean water and energy required. Even when indoor toilets are available, flushing toilet rentals may keep your water bill low while helping your organization stay eco-friendly.
