A toilet system capable of rendering the effluent innocuous and reducing the solid matter therein to microparticle size comprising a reversible, motor-driven pump (56) and a two-position valve (58) operable, on the one hand, for taking water into the system for flushing effluent from the bowl (10) into a treating chamber (12) and, on the other hand, to empty the treating chamber and discharge the effluent from the system so that both the pump and the valve are self-purging. There is a two-position switch (S3) for reversing the motor-driven pump and a valve rod (80, 82) for moving the two-position valve from one position to the other. A motor-driven macerator (54) in the treating chamber provides for effecting maceration of the effluent flushed into the treating chamber. A bacteriacide may be employed to render the effluent innocuous. The macerator is operable independently of the motor-driven pump so that the system can be purged without simultaneous operation of the macerator. |
