Made from Coconut Husk – a byproduct / waste of the coconut processing industry, this compressed coir will expand up to three times its size when rehydrated with water. It makes approximately 8 litres of coir.

Description

Coco coir is a peat substitute and is used as a ‘medium’ in the Air Head toilet.

One coir block is rehydrated several hours before it’s needed and tipped into the base. The stirring action on the Air Head, together with the drying of the fan helps in breaking the solids up and eliminating odours.

See our tips below on rehydrating the coir block – it’s important not to get it too wet.

How to rehydrate a coir block for use in the Air Head compost toilet

Plan in advance – a compressed coir block needs up to several hours to completely and thoroughly rehydrate and expand to its full size. Instructions on the packaging relate to using the coir in horticulture – you don’t want it that wet!

For the best (and fastest) results, place the coir brick in an appropriately sized ziplock plastic bag and seal the bag once the water has been added – you can break the coir up by squeezing the bag

  1. Grab a large bucket, bowl, trug, large ziplock bag or watertight wheelbarrow

  2. Unwrap the coir brick (if wrapped) and place it in your container

  3. Add 1 litre of hot water (not boiling) per block (only add more if necessary).

  4. Leave to stand/soak for several hours.

  5. Break up any chunks in the material and add more water if needed.

  6. If the material is too damp, leave it in the open to dry out.

Delivery to a non-UK address? No Problem!

Since Brexit, the process of selling to non-UK customers (including those in Ireland!) has changed but we don’t want our customers to pay more so we are offering to refund your customs duties and admin fees.

VAT generally evens itself out:
We reduce our price when selling to non-UK countries. This is because we don’t charge UK VAT (20%) for customers outside the UK.

The VAT rate is typically similar in other countries, around 20%, so the saving made by not paying UK VAT is generally offset by paying local VAT upon import.

Customs duty/admin fees:
Keep your receipt for customs or admin fees and send it to us. We’ll refund these extra fees back to your account.

In short…
Non-UK customers shouldn’t have to pay more for their products than our UK customers.

If you’re unsure about anything, please contact our friendly team.
