New 2017 Products
TTS co-developed a toilet structure with Wishbone Site Furnishings, integrating a TTS-BTW urine diverting conveyor belt seat with their aluminum framed / recycled plastic T&G walled toilet structure. The first unit was installed in 2016 with the USDA Forest Service at Baker Lake, WA. Photos are attached here.
Check out the
Wishbone John Toilet here. It is a sophisticated toilet product known for its rapid assembly (1 hour) and very low O&M (no paint, no rot, no rust).
