At the same time, focusing on health and safety in that it eliminates the danger of falling into the pit. The vent pipe is above the housing, facing north and black in colour to gain maximum benefit from the sun and then providing a hand washing facility which after washing will clean out the pan. Manufactured from LLDPE material which is robust and durable for the application. The 6l cistern is placed inside with the handbasin and pan in line and finally into the pit underneath the pan which is correctly structured. The 6l cistern is hand-filled with water using a suitable water bearing container. Hands are washed by opening tap into small basin and the used water is then passed through the pan into the pit. Such limited use of water maximises water saving and clean hands. For more information, contact 011 493 2457. October 2020 Volume 26 I Number 08 www.plumbingafrica.co.za
