Nature's head clearance question

What drew me to it was the simplicity and non-proprietary nature of its parts. Its basically just a box around 2 off the shelf containers.

Another great thing about the c head was, when at sea instead of using a medium I would just put 2 or 3 litres of water in it with a bit of chemical and it would do about 8 days with 2 of us, then just tip it over the side, and even with the medium it's far quicker than any of the others to empty.
