Cat Genie - Question About the Waste: Is the toilet nasty looking before someone flushes it?

Think liquified poop. You will need to flush the toilet manually. I didn't like this idea, so I managed to get the waste pipe hooked up to the sink drain under the bathroom sink similar to how a dishwasher drains into the waste pipe under a kitchen sink. I installed it downstream of the sink trap so that none of the odor from the Cat Genie waste would come back out of the sink.

NOT flush-able!! Place a trash can within easy reach of the sink and tell anyone who might think to put them in the toilet that they will clog the drain!!

do not flush down the toilet like one answerer mentioned!!!!! This gets into water ways and cat feces carry a very harmful parasite to fish and otters!!!!

No. A man peeing standing up will produce far more splatter than our cats do. They way they squat, everything is directed downward. I note zero residue on the toilet seat itself as a result of the cats using it. During training, yes, our white adapter regularly got urine on it if the cats peed at the edge of the insert.

there is a 7 min period between when your cat uses & when cycle runs for robot to dump poop in waste drawer (they do this so litter can absorb moisture) so it will smell during that period - if waste is really wet it can stick to interior of of robot as it turns so eventually you will have to wipe down interior to clean off. If poop is pretty dry/solid will not be a problem. For me, it is worthwhile regardless of these issues - you will have to clean (wipe down inside) no matter what periodically but for me I only have to clean it 1 every 3 weeks (other than removing poop bag from waste drawer every 4 days) so alot less work than standard litterbox and definitely alot less smell - I also use odor removing air filter unit Hamilton Beach True Air - between those two things - litter robot and air filter - smell issues are gone & we live in small apartment - hope this helps

Cat, unless Garfield size, probably could not flush--for humans it is easy!!

I know what your saying you can go two way with that. You can get out your toy soldiers and play Battleship. If you lay one out across the hole you may have to poke it with a Sh.. stick. I will say this you'll have a good toilet it should come with a warning do not flush while seated. I've had few that could hold up to it. You'll know without waiting if it clear, you know "will it will it", when it's flushed it flushed. Go with the gloss no cling-ons!

Generally speaking this toilet flushes cleanly and completely. However, I must admit that if one is "sick," sometimes particles up high on the sides may not be reached. But this is a very rare occurrence. It is certainly much cleaner after each flush than any other toilet I have used... including POWER flush toilets. I have been using one for about 5 years now and liked it so much that I bought two more for my other bathrooms. Recommendation: Be cure to purchase the model with the Sani-gloss coating. It helps keep it clean longer. I also recommend the ELONGATED, regardless of a person's size. Good luck. Tom

I am not sure, I never flush litter as eventually you'll have a 'backup'. If you go on line to their site they'll be able to help you if it's not listed in the info section "about'.

I never flush the used litter. I just bag it up and toss it. I honestly can't answer your question. Perhaps call the manufacturer and inquire about it with them.

I've had it for about 4 months with no issues. There is usually only an odor when its been used, waiting to cycle. Not sure if it's litter related but I have 2 cats & use Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal litter, it works great. Could there be feces stuck somewhere inside that needs to cleaned out... Good luck!

I have been using this litter for 5 years. Follow the instructions, break down the clumps, let them sit in the toilet for 20 minutes before flushing, and I have never ever had a problem. In my last apartment, the toilet would back up if you used too much toilet paper, but never once from the cat litter.

I can tell you that we have a similar situation -- lots of paper... And it has NEVER even seemed like it MIGHT clog! It is a great toilet. The only issue I have with these new fangled less-water toilets is that they get dirty fast. We now keep degradable toilet wipes nearby to give a quick wipe, which it needs more often that older, more-water toilets.

We've been using ours for over a month, and today was the first time. There were 3-4 small pieces of feces that fell through the scoop. I fished them out with the old litter scoop, and problem solved. We've run it roughly 4 times a day for 35 days...140 times with no smell. Once in a blue moon it'll happen, I can live with that. -I just turned on the exhaust fan and closed the door.

When I installed two of these toilets in my home, I noticed that and commented on it in my Amazon review. Mine always flush everything with one flush, but I do have to clean my toilets more frequently now. You have bought a toilet that uses less water because of conservation. So I just keep a brush and cleaner beside my toilet and clean as necessary.

On my toilet it is at a lower level. About half as high with the half flush. I installed the unit as it came making no adjustments ( with one unit on each of my two toilets ) It doesn't seem to make any difference that I can see. I use half flush all the time even on solid waste. I do how ever use a portable bidet on all my toilets and my family and I tend to use less toilet paper as well as having better hygiene. I imagine I could adjust it ( if I cared to ) but of coarse use more water as a result.

Ours is attached to the toilet. That way the waste is sprayed directly in, then i can flush it away. It works great.
