Well as it pretty much all breaks down (without a macerator) and is a liquid when I dump it, I will calculate it at 1 ltr = 1 kg.

Weigh the polly waffles before flushing,, fit a weight sensor there seems to be everything else in those bogs.. I can just see it now, writing down the daily tally :lol: :lol: We used to use coffee filter sheeting for just such "jobbies" (in hospitals of course) I know, why not invent a dehydrating bogger?? or something along the lines of those sanitary thingy burners, just left with ashes then.. easily disposed of. ;)

Already been done Dottie, the electrical power to run it would be way too much for even lithium batteries, here is the post I made on the CF about it, roughly 160Ah @ 12v per polly waffle :twisted:

Took it from the unit specs, it's how long each cyl runs I think. Can you imagine the smell or toasted polly waffle till it was ash :x

Hopefully you will never have know how much suspended solids smell while the are being dry roasted.(That's the technical term for black water with the liquid removed) I do unfortunately. I get the job of fixing the exhaust fan system at the treatment plant laboratory when it fails to function correctly. It all turns to powder when it is dried completely.
I will find out exactly how much the average litre of black water weighs as soon as the Process Engineers get back from holidays.

Well I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it is close enough to a kg. :roll:
