Hey Paul,

My first thought , what’s caused the corrosion in the first place, do the anodes need replacing and are there earthing issues with the leg.

I’m trying to visualise the issue, the swaging makes it a little more difficult. I’m not entirely, sure how any tube simply put through and hole will have a good seal. For a gasket to work…[Read more]

I would actually say the Simploo can be quite problematic when it comes to the urine separation. Especially when guests use the toilet, the wee tends to go into the solids container then this taints the solids. It’s fine once you know how to use the toilet and are well practised.

The non slip area was very well cleaned without removing any paint.…[Read more]
