Sato Modern Toilets

The SATO Fresh features a patented weighted trap-door mechanism that creates an airtight seal between the pit and the bathroom. Unlike traditional open pits, this seal stays closed when not in use, effectively locking in bad smells and keeping your restroom smelling clean and fresh.

2. Eliminates Flies and Insects Completely
By sealing the pit, the SATO Fresh breaks the cycle of disease. It acts as a physical barrier that prevents flies, cockroaches, and other insects from entering the pit to breed or exiting to spread germs. This is a crucial benefit for preventing diseases like cholera and diarrhea.

3. Prevents Dumping of Bulky Waste (e.g. Pampers)
A major cause of pit latrine failure is the dumping of non-biodegradable materials. The SATO Fresh is designed with a controlled, narrow aperture that allows waste and water to pass but makes it physically difficult to dump bulky items like pampers (diapers), sanitary pads, or plastic bottles. This helps extend the lifespan of your pit significantly.

4. Exceptional Water Savings
Engineered for water-stressed areas, the SATO Fresh is incredibly efficient. While conventional toilets use liters of water, the SATO Fresh requires as little as 200ml to 500ml of water to flush waste away, making it perfect for households without piped water.

5. Enhanced Safety for Children
Traditional open-pit latrines can be dangerous for small children. The SATO Fresh design covers the large, intimidating hole of a standard pit with a solid, flat surface and a small, secure opening, providing parents with peace of mind and making the toilet safer for the whole family.

6. Durable and Easy to Maintain
Made from high-quality, smooth polypropylene, the SATO Fresh is stain-resistant and easy to scrub clean. The mechanical trap door is tested to last for years of continuous use, and the plastic material does not rust or corrode, ensuring a long-lasting, dignified sanitation solution.
