SpaceSaver Overview
The SpaceSaver composting toilet is a three chamber toilet designed specifically for situations where space is extremely limited. With the exception of the GTG, the SpaceSaver is Sun-Mar’s smallest composting toilet. The SpaceSaver is designed to be used when you have tighter spaces. With a width of only 19 1/2″ and depth of 23″, even a closet or small corner can now be turned into a bathroom! Installations include, but are not limited to: cabins, cottages, homes, yurts, pool houses, cabanas, bunkies, camps, treehouses and workshops.
It is run exclusively off of 110v power, and has a heating element and fan built in to handle evaporation of liquids and odorless operation, respectively. Click to view the SpaceSaver in our webstore.
All Sun-Mar composting toilets have a 3 year warranty on parts. For information on Sun-Mar’s warranty, visit here.

Friends are always fascinated when they first see the composter
We use the composter at our remote high desert home. It certainly provokes thoughts on solutions for the need to conserve water here in the arid West.
We use it 4-5 weeks at a time so far and have been pleased with performance
Our Sun-Mar is installed in our RV. The RV is on a permanent installation in the Adirondacks. We were unable to secure permission from APA for a septic system thus the composting toilet. Aside from a few minor glitches all is going well. We vented it through the bathroom ceiling vent and that works OK.
Our SpaceSaver is installed at the family cottage which is used nearly 365 days a year.
Installation was a ‘snap’, I installed it myself in less than 2 hours. We opted for a Sun-Mar because of the cost of a septic system and the fact that I didn’t want to disturb the trees around the cottage. I also like the idea of being able to use the compost for the plants. I have nothing but praise for the Sun-Mar.
