Review: Preparation is key! - Before you buy one of these make sure you can dig a hole deep enough to site it. Took me 4 goes to find a suitable spot, that's when you find out where all the building waste went when your house was built! ... I would also recommend buying an auger, so much easier and quicker than trying to use a spade and they only cost around £10 ... Once in the ground and in use it resembles something like 'poo soup' but I have to say there is no smell and it works well ... We have 2 dogs, 1 staffy and 1 bulldog, and as long as you do a patrol every day it copes fine ... Not something you would want to move so make sure you put it somewhere 'for life' ... If we move house I would definitely purchase another one
Review: It does a good job - This device is a septic tank for dog poop. The tank holds water that is dosed with a special tablet that creates a bacterial soup that digests the lumps. There is a vertical waste pipe set in the bottom of the tank that maintains the depth of water. After adding each day's mess you add one gallon,(5ltrs) of water. This action washes out digested waste through the overflow pipe and agitates the contents. Once set up and working there is no smell apparent from the tank. All I have showing in my garden is the lid of the tank. The lid is opened with a toe and the poop is slid into the water. The only issue I had was digging the required hole 48" deep and 14" across. That was not an easy task for me, (at 75). A post hole tool may have made the job easier.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: OK, This seems like such a waste. Doesn't dog poo decomponse on it's own in a few days? I can't see what value this brings to the natural process.**
A: I've had my unit for about 3 months and I love it!  2 boxers and a fair amount of waste.  Each week I flush the tank by adding about 5 gallons of fresh water, add the new waste and enzymes.  I use Rid X and sprinkle about a 1/4 cup of it on the fresh poop in the tank.  By the end of the week it has mostly turned to mush and gets flushed down the inner tube to the 4 foot dirt hole under the tank.  This is very much like flushing a toilet.  The enzymes in the poop in the dirt hole continue to breakdown and eventually become part of the soil.  Technically if everything is working correctly you should not ever need to move this unit.  It is important to keep the tank full of water and the poop submerged as that minimizes the smell and bugs.  Now if I could just teach my dogs to poop in that tank, I'd be all set!  :o)

**Q: Can this be used with cat feces?**
A: Do not use this for cat feces.  They contain the toxoplasmosis parasite, which can be contracted by humans.  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/toxoplasmosis/symptoms-causes/syc-20356249

**Q: I've heard this doesn't do well in cold weather climates (below 40).  Is this true?**
A: The water in this metal bucket does freeze over rendering it useless in the cold winter months in Pennsylvania. Our frost line is 3’ below the ground surface.

**Q: How does it work, where does the poop go?**
A: Joseph is not giving accurate information. You definitely dig a 4 foot hole. In the pictures it even shows a diagram with the hole being 48 inches deep.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Experience with UK installation
*by G***. on 3 May 2020*

Purchased for single working cocker spaniel (~12kg), with plan to get another dog in about a year. Was concerned about plastic lid. Especially the idea that the lid would be too flimsy or that a child might step on the lid and fall in. But, on delivery, found the lid to be quite small, so I'm not concerned. The lid is big enough to make it easy to put in the dog waste, but not so big that I'm worried someone would fall in. I knew at the time of ordering that my ground was not clay. The problem with clay is that the ground is required to absorb excess water from the unit. As every gardener knows, clay ground doesn't absorb water. I chose unobtrusive location to install, nestled in a corner and slightly hidden by a hedge. But near the place where we have encouraged the dog to go to the toilet. Took about two hours to install, about an hour of which was removing two large stones found when digging. Used post hole digger, spade, trowel, and spirit level. The only reason I needed a trowel was to clear space around large stones so they could be lifted out. Getting level was important to me because of flow of waste water. Installation guide suggests digging 48" hole depth (14" around), with the unit sitting in the top 24" and an empty space below (also 24"). When you add water to the unit day-to-day, the excess water drains from the unit above into the hole below, and this excess water then seeps into the surrounding ground. I had concerns with the side walls below being unstable, and what I would do if the hole is was dug too big and then the unit wouldn't be held in place at the top. So, instead of leaving a bare hole, I took a section of plumbing soil pipe (about £10 from B&Q, but only comes in 10' length), cut to about 3' length with a hacksaw, drilled with many holes, and buried this pipe section below the drain from the top unit. After this, I was able to fill in around the drain pipe, and then have a solid base upon which to set the top unit. Started the unit today by filling with a hose and adding a couple of the digester tablets that came with the unit (it came with 12 tables, recommended one tablet per dog per week). The instructions suggest adding 4 litres of water each time you add waste, and not to overload the unit by adding multiple days at a time. We collect the dog's waste as she produces it, so I expect I'll end up adding a few litres a couple of times a week.
