metres above sea level. Air at this height is thinner and more power is needed to gain the vacuum needed to work the system. Christer and his team however delivered up to the challenge and after four years the system is still working as designed.
They certainly are robust. One thing all these systems have in common is that they are periodically under enormous strain as a lot of waste is generated in a short time.

airports and hospitals. Theme parks, shopping malls, offices and even historical city centres. Next time you are in Copenhagen and take a walk around the old quayside in Nyhavn, check out the bins!
Christer clearly loves gadgets that are focused on waste extraction. Apparently his prized ‘loo’ is not only auto-illuminated inside and out but plays various nature sounds like rain or waterfalls to drown out any other more …. personal ones.
You can apparently plug in your Ipod into it and of course the seat is heated. There are temperature controlled water jets for ‘him’ and ‘her’ and even a hot air blower and self sanitising with detergent from a built-in refillable detergent tank. So if you are on a tour of Scandinavia don’t forget to stop by Skara for the ultimate lavatorial experience. Christer will be delighted!
