Yes—if you’re installing in a shower zone, a cover isn’t optional, it’s essential.
If your OGO™ ORIGIN is being installed in a wet bath, shower stall, or combo bathroom, there’s one thing you need to think about before the first rinse: protection.
A compost toilet is a powerful off-grid solution—but it’s not built to take direct water spray. That’s where a wet bath cover comes in. And whether you use ours or make your own, having one is more than just a nice-to-have—it’s a smart, simple necessity.
Why You Need a Cover in a Wet Bath
The OGO™ ORIGIN is water-resistant—but not waterproof.
Here’s why leaving it exposed to regular shower use can cause issues:
-
Water can enter through the lid, mount holes, or motor access ports
-
Wires and the power jack are vulnerable to corrosion or shorts if water pools underneath
-
The composting process relies on airflow—not humidity. Splashing the toilet increases moisture and reduces performance.
The reality: if water is hitting your toilet every time you shower, something’s going to go wrong eventually.
What Kind of Cover Do I Need?
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to use our branded cover.
Any quality, water-resistant cover that can shield your OGO™ during showers will do the job—as long as it meets a few basic requirements:
-
Easy to remove for daily use
-
Covers the entire top of the unit, especially the bowl and fan vent
-
Allows space for the vent hose and power cable to stay connected
-
Made of water-repellent or waterproof fabric (not plastic that traps condensation)

But again—if you want to DIY a waterproof curtain or marine canvas drape that works for your space, that’s completely fine. Just make sure you’re covering the unit while you shower.
