As
a
first-time
home
builder
on
a
3.5
acre
lifestyle
block,
I
discovered
SWWS
online
and
after
doing
some
research
hired
Anita
Grant
to
install
the
Simple
Waste
Water
Solutions
system.
After
14
months
and
from
my
experience
of
this
system,
I
have
found
it
to
be
reliable,
hassle-free
and
free
to
run
as
it's
gravity
fed
so
there's
no
need
for
a
pump
which
uses
electricity
unnecessarily.
I
think
the
grass
filter
beds
are
very
pleasing
to
the
eye.
They
have
now
tripled
in
height
and
are
very
bushy
and
healthy-looking.
I
like
the
fact
that
Simple
Waste
Water
Solutions
system
uses
absolutely
no
chemicals
and
is
great
for
the
environment
and
the
worms.
I
also
like
the
fact
that
it
was
cheaper
than
other
systems
like
the
Natural
flow
system
and
other
similar
ones
like
the
Biolytic system.
Anita
is
very
friendly
and
experienced
and
explained
the
whole
process
well.
She
was
also
very
fast
and
efficient
at
getting
it
installed
and
putting
the
pipes
in
place.
I
would
recommend
her
and
this
system
to
others
who
are
thinking
about
using
this
system.
The
Whangarei
council
was
readily
accepting
of
it
and
it
passed
inspection
without
any
problems.
I
imagine
that
other
councils
are
now
opening
their
eyes
and
minds
to
this system as well.
Wishing you well.

Hi Anita,
The
short
drop
is
situated
by
our
hut
in
the
Coromandel,
which
we
are
able
to
use
only
intermittently
as
we
can
only
get
there
for
a
few
days
a
month.
So
the
issue
for
us
has
been
whether
the
worms
would
be
able
to
survive
the
long
periods
of
famine
to
enjoy
the
short
periods
of
feast
but
they
seem
to
be
able
to
hibernate
and
then
wake
up
for
the
party.
I
add
some
finely
chopped
vege
and
fruit
scraps
when
we
leave
to
make
sure
they
have
a
balanced
diet,
and
a
handful
of
(untreated)
sawdust.
No
smell,
I'm
relieved
to
say.
At
this
rate
it
looks
like
it
will
be
many
years
before
I
need
to
empty
it
out.
The
shelter
itself
is
very
weather
proof
and
stable,
with
good
light
from
the
skylight,
and
easy
to
keep
clean.
The
only
problem
I've
had
is
an
angle
where
I
placed
the
short
drop
on
the
edge
of
where
the
digger
levelled
out
the
platform
for
the
hut,
and
slight
subsidence
has
left
the
structure
a
little
bit
off-plumb,
so
I
need
to
move
it
onto
firmer
ground.
So,
all
in
all,
I
am
very
impressed
with this product.

UPDATE:
Hi Anita,
A
while
ago
you
asked
me
if
I
would
contribute
a
brief
review
of
my
experience
with
the
short
drop
which
I
did.
In
the
review
I
said
that
I
put
in
some
chopped
up
food
scraps
from
time
to
time
to
eke
out
the
worms
diet,
especially
if
we
weren't
going
to
be
there
for
a
while.
I
have
been
feeling
guilty
because
that
turned
out
to
be
a
mistake,
and
I
may
have
given
people
a
bad
steer
-
what
happened
was
the
scraps
introduced
a
lot
of
little
black
flies
which
flew
up
in
your
face
every
time
the
lid
was
opened,
which
my
wife
found
really
off
putting!.
I
was
able
to
beat
them
in
the
end
by
sprinkling
diatomaceous
earth
and
covering
it
with
coir
material,
and
leaving
it
for
a
while.
No
more
flies.
So
I'm
sorry
if
anyone
took
my
bad
advice,
and
maybe
it
would
be
good
to
publicise
this
correction!
Sorry about that, Gerard.

To whom it may concern.
We
purchased
a
short
drop
toilet
from
Simple
Waste
Water
Solutions
approximately
3
years
ago.
The
free
standing
toilet
was
delivered
to
our
site
at
Takahoa
Bay
in
the
Kaipara
district
promptly
and
installed
with
no
fuss
by
Coll
Bell
and
Anita
Grant.
There
are
no
consents
or
permits
needed
for
this
set
up.
We
did
use
this
toilet
on
an
regular
basis
and
found
the
set
up
practical
and
easy
to
use
especially
with
the
fact
that
it
collects
water
and
stores
this
in
a
small
tank
to
use
for
clean
up
after
use
and
keep
the
worms
happy,
it
was
also
used
by
the
building
team
when
building
our
garage
and cottage.
When
I
did
clean
out
the
worm
tank
(after
3
years
use)
I
collected
one
wheelbarrow
of
worms
and
compost and used this in our garden.
The
clean
out
process
was
relatively
simple
and
NO SMELL.
Also
during
all
the
time
that
the
toilet
was
in
use
NO SMELL.
When
we
later
installed
a
Simple
Waste
Water
Solutions
system
in
our
cottage
this
made
our
short
drop
toilet
redundant.
Anita
Grant
looked
after
us
and
bought
the
used
unit
back
and
removed it without fuss.
We
are
very
happy
with
the
way
SWWSnz
looked
after us and can recommend this company.
I
understand
Anita
Grant
is
now
handling
all
the
Short
Drop
Toilet
systems
and
wish
her
all
the
best.
Feel free to contact me at
lindencrane@maxnet.co.nz
should you want to know more of our experience.

To whom it may concern.
We
purchased
a
Short
Drop
Toilet
composting
system
from
Short
Drop
Limited
about
4
years
ago.
We
had
done
a
lot
of
research
around
this
kind
of
toilet
system
prior
to
finding
Anita
Grant
and
the
Short Drop Unit.
The
Short
Drop
composting
system
was
simple,
easy
to
understand
and
very
practical
for
our
needs.
The
toilet
is
located
out
in
the
Awhitu
Peninsula close to a local church, where weddings
are
held
occasionally.
We
wanted
something
that
was
going
to
be
able
to
cater
for
anything
between
1
and
30
people
at
various
stages,
depending
on
the
occasion.
It
also
had
to
be
environmentally friendly and easy to manage.
We
also
needed
to
have
a
water
storage
system
in
the
area
as
there
are
no
facilities
on
the
property.
To
add
to
the
list
of
requirements,
it
needed
to
be
able
to
withstand
the
strong
winds
out
on
the
peninsula,
and
fortunately,
thanks
to
its
design,
round
shape
and
the
material
it
is
made
from,
it
does.
So
far,
after
4
years,
the
Short
Drop
system
has
been
everything
we
required
and
we
haven’t
had
to
empty
it
yet
and
there
has
been
absolutely
no
smell.
Anita
Grant
and
her
team
are
absolutely
fantastic
to
work
with.
They
were
able
to
answer
our
endless
list
of
questions
and
always
happy
to
help.
Anita
came
to
install
the
Short
Drop
Unit
and
worked professionally and efficiently.
We
have
absolutely
no
hesitation
to
recommend
them
and
their
product
and
would
do
further
business with them in the future.

After
much
research
on
the
various
composting
toilet
systems
on
the
market,
I
opted
for
the
Deluxe
Short
Drop
unit
from
SWWS.
Anita
was
fantastic
to
deal
with
from
the
outset
and
explained
and
answered
all
our
questions
very
thoroughly.
After
6
plus
months
since
the
unit
was
installed
on
Waiheke
Island,
there
is
no
doubt
I
made
the
right
choice.
The
unit
was
delivered
on
time
and
installed
by
Anita
and
team
quickly
and
efficiently.
There's
no
smell
or
bugs,
requires
minimal
maintenance
and
and
looks
great
situated
next
to
our
weekend
cabin.
I
thoroughly
recommend
going
for
the
deluxe
version,
the
convenience
of
being
able
to
wash
your
hands
from the harvested rainwater is fantastic.
This
is
a
great
product
which
will
serve
us
well
for
many many years.
In
addition
to
the
Short
Drop,
we
purchased
a
mini
version
of
the
full
waste
water
system
to
deal
with
kitchen
sink
water
and
washing
machine
waste water for our newly constructed cabin.
Anita's
expert
input
helped
us
modify
the
system
layout
during
install
due
to
site
fall
issues
and
we
were
really
grateful
when
she
made
a
second
visit
to
Waiheke
Island
to
fully
commission
the
system
due to building and material delays.
The
system
works
brilliantly
and
the
plant
filters
look great.
I
thoroughly
recommend
dealing
with
SWWS,
knowledgeable
experienced
operators
who
back
their quality products.
Thanks Anita and team.
Thanks, Ben Spain
