by Ann Withanee — November 11, 2011—Off-site construction projects requiring a crew for more than one day must be supplied with hygiene facilities, most notably portable toilets. Callahead Corporation, a long-time supplier of various versions of “porta potties,” announces its new development called the Headmaster. The Headmaster is described as an improved version of the ubiquitous porta potties that dot construction sites. The Headmaster, says the company, has the distinction of being “the first gravity-fed portable toilet to be released in the United States.”

President and CEO of the company, Charles W. Howard, says, “The eventual goal is to eliminate all portable toilets with open cavity holding tanks, and the Headmaster is a step in that direction.” The company’s latest addition to its wide range of portable toilets, the Headmaster is designed it so that the water flushes into a porcelain toilet bowl from a 75-gallon fresh water holding tank located at the top of the unit. Using a three-inch aluminum water line running from the ceiling to the floor creates a natural flow of fresh water through a speedy connector, directly to the porcelain toilet similar to those in most homes. The waste water is easily disposed down into a 75-gallon waste water holding tank located at the bottom of the unit.

The Headmaster gravity-fed portable toilet is constructed entirely of aluminum, with 1/4-inch circular aluminum walls for superior strength. Besides being durable, the Headmaster’s stainless steel bright silver color creates “the coolest possible look.” More, it is sanitary, emphasizes CEO Howard. The flushing porcelain toilet bowl, urinal and antiseptic dispenser makes Headmaster a full-service portable bathroom. The Headmaster even comes standard with thermostat heat and an air conditioning unit for year round comfort.

The Headmaster’s patent pending design is another first for the portable toilet industry and available only exclusively from Callahead, says the company, which has been providing service to the portable sanitation industry for over 30 years. Among some of the equipment that can be rented are units for the handicapped, portable toilets, guard sheds, portasheds, commercial grade portable sinks, antiseptic dispensers, luxury restroom trailers, porcelain toilet systems and portable water and sewer systems.
