Mains Connected Toilet

Although we’d recommend hiring portable toilets to the majority of our clients over buying them, we do sell units too. This could be more convenient for you if you want the freedom to transport the toilet anywhere you like or you have somewhere to store your toilet for use over a long period of time. However, you will need a waste disposal licence if you plan on emptying the unit yourself. If you do decide to buy one of our portable toilets, there is a lead time of 4 weeks from the date order placed to the date it arrives at your location. Please contact the sales team for more information.

Mains water, electricity and sewer connections are required for you mains connected toilets. You’ll also need mains water access if you’re hiring a mains-connected portable toilet. These are ideal for long-term jobs or scenarios where heavy use is likely. Plus, they have the added benefit of reduced odours and less maintenance, as they are connected to a mains sewer rather than being emptied once a week. Our chemical portable toilets, on the other hand, contain a chemical reservoir for flushing and a holding tank for the waste, so they don’t need to be connected to a water or drainage supply. As a result, they offer more flexibility in terms of placement.

No mains water or drainage is required with our self-contained portable chemical toilets. They arrive ready to use and maintained by us. However, if you plan on hiring a mains connected or hot wash toilet, you’ll need access to water and power, plus a drainage system for the waste.

Our mains connected toilets operate exactly the same as the toilet you have at home, directly linked to mains water, electricity and a sewer system. Meanwhile, our standard chemical toilets and luxury trailers use a chemical flushing system similar to that found on aeroplanes. This is activated by either a hand pump or a foot pedal, which pushes the waste down into a leak-proof holding tank until it can be emptied. Learn more about how portable toilets work on our blog.

We don’t service/clean mains connected toilets as they are connected direct to the mains sewer supply. As a result, they don’t require weekly emptying like temporary portable toilets. However, they will arrive fully steam cleaned and ready for use.
