# Can I install a composting toilet myself?

## Of course you can! We support your decision to be sustainable and self sufficient. But it's important to keep a few things in mind.

Someone with basic handyman (or handywoman) experience can install Ecoflo waterless composting toilets in about half a day. Depending on which state the toilet is to be installed in, a registered plumber may have to sign off on the finished installation. A registered plumber should be used from the start if you are installing:

- The Microflush toilets (3000 models, Clivus Multrum CM8-CM40) as this is more complicated than the 100% waterless toilets
- A pump well for the GWS10 greywater treatment system if the site does not have a favourable slope allowing the water to drain under gravity
- An advanced secondary greywater treatment system

Ensure you follow the installation instruction manuals provided and if required do not hesitate to call our customer support on 1300 138 182 if you need assistance.
