do you put water in it or just use bags

We just use regular trash bags. It works just fine. The drawstring bags are the best. Easy to dispose of. Just make sure to get the sturdy ones, not the cheap ones that rip easily or you'll have a nasty mess to deal with. &lt;3

I purchased bags...I think they were called Double Duty or something. I believe the toilet came with one. They have a deodorant and some kind of stuff that gels? Has a ziplock to seal up.

It comes with this blue chemical (it's a fluid) that you are supposed to put in it. We didn't use it. I didn't want to pee on chemicals. You don't need to use a bag with it, but if it makes you more comfortable, you probably can. (Maybe a small trash bag?) Honestly, we just dumped it...but I mainly used it when we were driving in the middle of nowhere (through parts of Arizona and Texas) so I didn't feel bad about dumping it on the side of the road. I know that's probably illegal...but hey, I was pregnant, and when you gotta go, you gotta go! We washed it out whenever we got to our hotels for the night.

There is a bucket with a handle inside that you easily lift out and dump . You could put a bag in that. I would not use water as that would make more smell and volume.

After use, does the lid fit tight enough to control odor? Is there such a thing as biodegradable bags?

for both the waste bucket and the paper holder (urinal/splash guard) you can use water and a little Lysolor bags and blue chemical gel (one free in kit) or cat litter and scent

We didn't use the bag, because we didn't feel we needed it for my hubby after his rectal surgery. We just filled the bath with warm water, let hubby soak and then emptied when through. The bag is to fill with water and hold it above the bath and allow water to come into the area. If you read the reviews you'll see some use it and others don't see the need.

The easiest way to get the air out is by the displacement method, in which you submerge the bags as far as possible in water while zipping them closed. The water pressure forces most of the air out.

Just put it in your pack. It's that simple. I hold onto the ring of the bag as you walk. It's a great water bag.

You can use either. I started using the bucket only on mine, but it filled very quickly. It took < 24 hrs to fill the bucket then it goes into kind of a standby mode waiting for the bucket to be emptied. I had to switch the the hose (by default it works with just the bucket, but you can attach the drain hose and water goes there instead).

I know, I only mix with water first in the middle of winter when the water is cold cause it dosen't mix well, but in the summer when the waters warm and the pool is active I just pour it in around the borders, I guess it s just to much to put on the bag LOL

You can put heavy duty plastic bag (like for yard cleanup or construction trash) on it and then it will hold and collect the water.! This not trashcan, its trashcan hideaway, and is doesnt come assembled, you have to assemble it by yoursef from the parts, and it will NOT hold water for long without proper liner, it made that way so it doesnt hold trash smell. But with good trash bag inside it will work.

We never use bags we always just the disposal at the campground to empty the toilet. We love it we are older and it is higher than most other portable toilets. I hope this helped.

Just add boiling water to the bag. I like to fold over the top and seal with an inexpensive wooden or plastic clothes pin. Hope this helps.

I just use it for water, but I clean it out by running a jug of water with a little dish soap through it and then I run through just water a few times

No, I've put it in a reactor, and a tray in a canister filter, but not a bag.I think it would work OK in a bag however, as long as water id flowing through it.

There are directions, but there are many ways you can adapt it for your own personal use. I use it as an inline with my platypus bag when I run out of water on a long hike I can fill it up with water I fine along the way and just drink it. Then I also use it as a dirty water to clean water filter from one bag to another bag when I'm at camp.

I use a Ziplock bag. It's less bulky. Iit'll be wet after using it, so a plastic bag keeps it from leaking anywhere. Soap containers are annoying to clean.

You need a hose that connects to your skimmer and the leaves are sucked up into the skimmer. You just empty the skimmer. No bag required

Make sure you put enough water in it. Don't worry about too much water, it holds it well. Fill that sucker up :)

You pour water in the back and use either paper filters or a nondisposable filter, both sold separately. I use the mesh metal nondisposable filter with filtered water for better tasting coffee.

No. I've seen people put a bunch of sand bags on top to keep it relatively portable. I used water and then added a product that makes it solidify. They sell it on Amazon. Definitely use something or it will fall on you.
