A chemical commode collects human waste in a holding storage tank and uses chemicals to lessen smells. They do not need a connection to a water and are used in a wide range of scenarios. These commodes are typically, however not constantly, self-contained and movable. A chemical commode is structured around a relatively tiny container, which calls for constant draining. It is not connected to an opening in the ground (like a pit latrine), nor to a septic system, nor is it plumbed into a municipal system causing a sewage therapy plant. When the container is emptied, the materials are typically pumped into a hygienic sewer or directly to a therapy plant. The encased mobile bathrooms made use of on building and construction sites and at big events such as music events are widely known types of chemical bathrooms. As they are usually used for short periods and as a result of their high costs, they are mainly rented as opposed to purchased, often consisting of maintenance and cleaning. A less complex, unenclosed, chemical commode might be used in camping, travel trailers (caravans) and on little boats. Several chemical commodes make use of a blue dye in the bowl water. In the past, disinfection was usually carried out by blending formaldehyde, bleach, or comparable chemicals with the bathroom water when purged. Modern solutions are nitrate-based and work naturally.
