Product Description

This Thetford Porta Potti is made of two halves making it incredibly easy to take apart and reassemble when emptying waste.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you empty the Thetford Porta Potti Qube 345?

To empty the 345, release the clasp at the rear to detach the lower waste tank from the upper flush tank. Carry the 12-litre waste tank to an authorised disposal point, then rotate the integrated pour-out spout to the open position. Press and hold the vent button on the tank while tilting it to empty, which prevents splashing. Rinse the tank thoroughly before reassembling.

What chemicals do you need for the Thetford Porta Potti 345?

You need two separate Thetford additives: a waste tank treatment such as Aqua Kem Blue or Aqua Kem Green added to the lower 12-litre waste tank along with 2-3 litres of water, and a flush water additive such as Aqua Rinse added to the upper 15-litre flush tank. The waste tank additive controls odour and breaks down waste, while the rinse additive coats the bowl to help waste clear more cleanly. Always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging.

How full does the waste tank get before it needs emptying on the Porta Potti 345?

The Porta Potti 345 has a built-in level indicator on the waste-holding tank. When the indicator turns red, the 12-litre tank is full and needs emptying. Depending on usage, this is typically after around 27 to 33 flushes. Do not allow the tank to overfill, as this makes emptying more difficult and can affect the blade valve seal.

Can the Thetford Porta Potti 345 be used without a water or drainage connection?

Yes. The Porta Potti 345 is completely self-contained and requires no connection to mains water or a drainage system. The upper tank holds 15 litres of fresh flush water, which is pressurised using the built-in manual piston pump. This makes it ideal for use in caravans, campervans, boats, and tents where no fixed plumbing is available.

What toilet paper is safe to use with the Thetford Porta Potti 345?

Standard household toilet paper should not be used in the Porta Potti 345 as it does not break down quickly enough and risks blocking the blade valve and waste tank. Thetford recommends using a rapid-dissolve toilet paper specifically designed for portable or chemical toilets, which breaks down in the waste tank without causing blockages or damaging the seals.

How do you clean the Thetford Porta Potti Qube 345?

After emptying and rinsing the waste tank, clean the inside of the bowl with a soft brush and a Thetford-approved portable toilet cleaner. Clean the full exterior of both tanks with the same specialist product. Avoid household cleaning sprays, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these damage the plastic and degrade the rubber seals over time. Thetford's own Bathroom Cleaner range is formulated specifically to be safe on all Porta Potti components.

What is the seating height of the Thetford Porta Potti 345?

The seating height of the Thetford Porta Potti Qube 345 is 324mm, which is lower than a standard domestic toilet but considered a natural height for a portable unit of this size. The overall height of the toilet is 330mm, with a width of 383mm and a depth of 427mm. The total weight when empty is 3.8kg.

Where should waste from the Porta Potti 345 be disposed of?

Waste from the Porta Potti 345 must only be emptied at an authorised waste disposal point, such as the chemical toilet disposal facilities found at caravan and camping sites, motorhome service points, and some marinas. Emptying into standard toilets at campsites is acceptable where permitted. Never empty into open drains, rivers, or fields, as chemical toilet waste is subject to environmental regulations.

12 FAQs on the Thetford 345 Porta Potti Camping Toilet

Which Porta Potti fits the best in my Van?

This depends on the situation in your Van. For all dimensions, please check the specifications of our portable toilets.

Which one is the smallest Porta Potti?

The Porta Potti 335 is the smallest portable toilet in our range.

I do not have a drain and electricity in my holiday home. Can I use a Porta Potti?

All portable toilets don’t require a connection to a drainage or water system. Therefore the Porta Potti is a perfect solution for those situations.

What special maintenance do you advise for the Porta Potti toilets?

To prolong the life span of a portable toilet we advise to maintain a Porta Potti toilet regularly. Use Cassette Tank Cleaner for the waste-holding tank 2-3 times a year and treat the seals with Seal Lubricant when the seals become dry. Cassette Tank Cleaner safely removess stubborn calcium deposits on the inside of a waste-holding tank and Seal Lubricant keeps the seals soft.

What is the maximum loading in kg for our Porta Potti?

Porta Potti: one time max load is 400 kg; max loading in normal use is approx 120 kg (6000 cycles)

What's the difference between a bellow and a piston pump?

The difference is that the bellow pump is a simple pump that has to be pushed in order to rinse. The piston pump is a more luxurious pump that is easy to operate by pulling it up.

What are the maximum and minimum temperatures a Porta Potti will operate?

All Porta Potti models can stand the following temperatures:<br />+1°C to +60°C (operational)<br />-40°C to +60°C (storage)<br /><br />

How does the Porta Potti work?

How does the level indication of the Porta Potti work?

The indication works with a float equipped with a magnet. When it rises, it comes to the sensor and indicates that your tank is full.

What can I do when the flush tube of my Porta Potti is broken?

It's only possible to replace the complete toilet in case of a broken flush tube.

Can I buy a spare holding tank for my Porta Potti?

Sorry, the tank is not available separately. So you can't buy a spare holding tank for your Porta Potti.

56 Customer Reviews on Thetford 345 Porta Potti Camping Toilet

Good company let down by courier

by Andrew (07 Jun 2023)

(4/5)

4 stars is a little bit mean as the company itself was great. Item as described, good price and dispatched quickly. Only reason I’ve took a star off was due to the trouble I had with the courier. For some reason they split my order into 2 different vans. One part of order was received ok however I missed 2nd van by 5 mins and the courier couldn’t leave it in safe place due to needing pin. After countless promises by the courier the item would be in next van eventually the item arrived 5 days later in a mangled box. This disrupted my planned getaway and thus why I’ve had to take a star off.

Nice unit, not my first so knew what I was buying, good prompt service.

Very Compact

by MMS (26 Jul 2021)

(5/5)

The Qube 345 is used in a camper van. It is very compact, well build and the 10 litre waste tank is sufficient yet light enough to carry to the waste disposal - I used to struggle with the larger capacity waste tanks. The flush is really good, much better than the old style.

Perfect Potti

by A Edwards (13 May 2021)

(5/5)

A much better portable toilet than my previous one. Just the right height to be comfortable and just the right height to fit under the bed. A decent size bowl and a good flush system. The pump action is an improvement over the bellows type.

Does As It Says.

by BB (04 Nov 2020)

(4/5)

Don’t fill top with 15 litres. Add enough and top up as it gets really heavy. Keep the empty spout top away from waste disposal point hole in case you drop it down the hole.

Brilliant - Thetford Porta Potti Qube 345

by DevonLass (12 Aug 2020)

(5/5)

I know people may think me a little odd for be so delighted over a portable toilet, but this model has surpased my expectations. The build quality is superb, so easy to take apart to empty, fill and put together again. The piston pump flush is effortless to use far superior to other toilets that have I have used that have a bellow pump. The level indicator is an excellent addition on the waste holding tank being it has a smaller capacity so I know when it needs to be emptied in time to negate any nasty overflow accidents! I am delighted that it also comes with a 3 year warranty. It took a little longer to arrive than expected, but it was well worth the wait especially at the price I bought it for. Well done LeisureShopDirect - one very happy customer!

Good For Camping

by Skipperjonce (30 Jul 2019)

(4/5)

Works fine. Kids love it and refuse to poop anywhere else while camping. Two gripes... The tanks are only loosely sealed so while driving the contents splash around and leak out a little. Secondly the hole opening plunger comes out the front and is quite fragile. Unless you want poop smeared all over the mechanism you have to open this before pooping and it's in just the right place for kids to stand on it. Can't see it lasting long!

Worth buying though and best on the market. Just empty before travelling and keep an eye on the kids feet.
