A sealing valve between the two tanks is opened and closed before and after use by a pull handle at the front of the unit.

. May be useful in place of commode chair and pan as it does not require emptying daily.
. Lid does not provide back support as there is no cistern to rest on.
. Reference numbers of various models indicate capacity of toilet.
. Toilets with greatest capacity provide increased seat height.
. .Seat height may be too low - consider a chair raiser or frame.A frame designed to raise the height of a chemical toilet will provide armrests to assist standing transfers and a rail as back support or support for seat lid.
