Tejo elevates composting toilets with its sleek design and advanced features. Offering enhanced comfort with a larger bowl and double-sealed for superior odor control, it’s optimized for non-level operation (like on moving boats or RVs), and maximizes space with a smaller footprint.
Tejo combines modern aesthetics with the best in eco-friendly technology, ensuring a seamless fit into any living environment.
The Classic Air Head is the eco-friendly solution for compact living, offering odor-free performance, easy installation, and a high capacity of up to 80 uses. Built from premium materials for durability and designed with a water-tight seal, it’s perfect for boats, RVs, and tiny homes.
Its highly-customizable options ensure a perfect fit for any space.
Every style of install has unique challenges. Find out how we have built the perfect toilets for your lifestyle.
The main differences are their design and use case. The Classic model is our time-tested solution, known for its robustness and reliability. The Tejo model introduces an innovative design and a larger bowl, which feels more like a traditional household toilet. Tejo also removes the liquids tank from the toilet, allowing users to install a remote tank elsewhere, or use an existing black tank.
Absolutely! Thanks to the rubber gaskets on the lid, seat and tank, both the Classic and Tejo models are designed for installation in wet head/shower areas. These gaskets prevent water from entering the composting area, maintaining the effectiveness of the composting process.
Absolutely! Both models boast a user-friendly installation process, accompanied by comprehensive instructions to guide you every step of the way. The key distinction lies in the design aspect;Tejo does away with the conventional liquids tank in front of the toilet, which will add some additional setup. This might involve installing a new tank or configuring hoses to connect with an existing one. However, this design tweak eliminates the need for a front-mounted bottle, which shrinks the toilet’s footprint. This can actually simplify the installation in more confined spaces, making it a bit smoother overall.
There is no right or wrong answer here. Both are perfect for off grid living with regular usage. Depending on your use case and install, Tejo may offer the ability to use a larger remote black tank, therefore requiring less frequent emptying. However, maybe you can’t install a remote tank, or prefer a more classic approach to composting heads, in which case the Classic might be a better fit.
Both the Classic and Tejo models offer customization options to ensure your composting toilet fits perfectly with your space. However, the Classic model does offer more versatility when it comes to options.
Maintenance and cleaning procedures are very similar for both models. Simply use vinegar and water to clean out the tank, bowl and seat.
The choice between the Classic and Tejo models for a boat depends on your specific needs and space availability. The Classic model, with its self-contained design, is straightforward and efficient for smaller boats. The Tejo model, with the option to route urine to an external tank or directly overboard (where legal), might be more suited for larger vessels or those looking for a more traditional toilet feel and the ability to handle waste more flexibly.
For RV users, the Tejo model might offer an advantage due to its innovative design that resembles a traditional household toilet, providing a more familiar experience. Its ability to connect to an external tank can also be beneficial for managing waste in long-term travel scenarios. It is also the first composting toilet in the world to be RVIA approved (Recreational Vehicle Industry Association). However, the Classic model remains a reliable and efficient option, especially for those who prefer a compact, all-in-one solution.
Tejo introduces an innovative design that has a much larger bowl compared to traditional composting heads, which feels much more like a traditional household toilet. Tejo also removes the liquids tank from the toilet, allowing users to install a remote tank elsewhere, or use an existing black tank, again mimicking the look of a household toilet. It is the best option on the market for those with Off-Grid or Tiny Home set-ups.
It’s important to note that U.S. regulations prohibit the discharge of untreated urine into any waterways. However, internationally, this isn’t always the case. (Check your local laws and regulations)
Tejo was created to be able to direct urine to an external tank. However, in theory, you could also direct urine directly overboard via an existing thru-hull.
For the installation, we recommend connecting a hose from the Air Head to a Y-valve (diverter valve), with one outlet leading to an internal tank and the other to your thru-hull, incorporating a pump inline to prevent backflow and ensure efficient disposal. This setup reduces the need for frequent emptying, thereby enhancing the usability and convenience of your toilet system.
Again, always ensure compliance with both local and international maritime laws when configuring your system for waste disposal.
While the Classic model features an integrated liquids tank with a specific capacity, the Tejo model allows for the flexibility to connect to an external tank of varying sizes. This means that the Tejo can potentially handle a larger volume of liquid waste, depending on the external tank’s capacity. The solids capacity is very similar for both models, with no real world differences.
Hello everyone,
I installed the Tejo model on the 40ft trawler that I live aboard full time, and I love it! Its design is very much like a traditional household toilet that it is way more comfortable than a typical marine head. It is so nice to not have to deal with monitoring the level of the holding tank, and paying for pump outs!
Great job to the folks at Airhead, and thank you for making this product.
I tip my hat to you all.
Peace
We have been very Happy with the AirHead toilet. Since we parked our 5th wheel on some friends property in Fort Collins CO. and it was not possible to connect with their septic system this gave us the option to stay parked here for over a month or two. We have been using the toilet for over 3weeks. We have not emptied out the **** bucket as of yet since we can still easily turn the handle. The pee bucket must be emptied daily to keep it from getting too full. The only negative is the box that the toilet was shipped in was extremely flimsy. fortunately there was no damage or missing parts. I would suggest that you ship these $1,200 toilets in a better way to better represent your product.
We ordered one for our second head after having so many issues with our Jabsco manual toilet.
So far - loving it! Huge upgrade in comfort compared to the tiny Jabsco!
Fast service and only a couple of hours to install. Good to have toilet facilities for guests!!
This is 100% the very best off grid toilet on the market. We have it in our caravan & no more dump points. About 6 weeks between emptying, then into a plastic bag & the nearest bin.
Installed the AirHead head on our 30’ Hunter sailboat. It’s been about a month and it’s been awesome! Very easy maintenance! Definitely a great choice for us! Thanks!
Bought for a 24 foot sailboat. install was mostly straightforward. Instructions were clear and complete. Everything needed to setup and start the compost was included. Before purchase I had lots of help from the tech support folks to get sizes to be sure everything would fit. Excellent product from a good company. Very happy I made the switch from holding tank system to Air Head.
I have had an Air Head installed in my sailboat for 3 years. It took a bit of time to get the install the way I wanted it, but having the option of different customization was great!
So much better than having to pump out regularly, especially when staying in the bay, or in a marina!
We will be ordering a new one soon for the second head!
I recently installed the Air Head Tejo composting toilet in my cabin, and overall, I’m quite satisfied. The installation process was relatively easy, and the unit feels solid and well-made.
One of the best things about the Air Head Tejo is how it effectively manages waste without any noticeable odors, which was a big concern for me. It also uses very little water, making it an environmentally friendly option. The compact design fits well in my small space.
There were a couple of minor issues during installation, but the customer support team was helpful and responsive.
If you’re looking for a sustainable and practical composting toilet, the Air Head Tejo is definitely worth considering.
