Page 5: Installation
INSTALLATION STEP 1: POSITION THE PEDESTAL DIAGRAM Locate the approximate area where you want the pedestal to go before cutting the hole. The usual position for pedestals is centred between side walls. NOTE: Due to the pedestals being man made, the distance to the centre may vary from 245 to 255mm. Please check before cutting the hole. - Page 6 Go to the underfloor area and look for the hole you have drilled. Check to see if there is a floor joist, water pipe or electrical wiring under the area you are going to cut. NOTE: If there is a joist in the way, either reposition the waste hole OR install trimmer joists to each end of the cut joist, and fix all connections with galvanised framing anchors with 4 nails each leg (refer to diagram below).

- Page 8 Extra Length Required for Under-Floor Areas If the underfloor height exceeds 1200mm (floor-to-floor), you will require additional lengths of chute, fixed together with small stainless steel self-tapping screws below the flange of the additional waste chute. As the chute joints are tappered, the top waste chute must be inserted through the toilet room floor first with additional waste chutes added from below.

Page 12: Powering Your Fan
POWERING YOUR FAN Mains Power A 240/12 volt regulated transformer is included to run the fan from mains power. The positive wire on the transformer is marked with a white line. The fan has anti-polarity protection and would not run if connected incorrectly. Connect the fans to the transformer as follows: We recommend a spare fan is kept on hand at all times, particularly after a year of use. -
Page 13: Composting Accelerators
COMPOSTING ACCELERATORS Whilst Nature Loo users report successful composting without the use of any additives, we strongly recommend the use of the following items (not included in the package) in order to optimise composting, particularly when the toilet is in permanent use by more than two people. -
Page 14: Care & Maintenance
CARE & MAINTENANCE DAILY OR WEEKLY • Clean restroom & toilet fixtures using only biodegradable cleaners. • Add 1 cup of bulking agent to toilet after every solid use. MONTHLY • Inspect the ‘In-service’ chamber, depends on usage, prepare another ‘In-service’ chamber for use once the chamber becomes full (refer to Rotation of Chambers, page 15). -
Page 15: Rotation Of Chambers
Your first rotation of the chambers: The Nature Loo composting toilet chambers will need to be changed on a regular basis. A sufficient number of chambers must be purchased to allow the ‘Out-of-service’ chamber to have a minimum of 6 months (depending on climate) from the time they are disconnected from the waste chute. -
Page 16: Troubleshooting
Please read this section before using your toilet. Nature Loo toilets have proven themselves to be one of the easiest systems to manage. However, being a natural process, reliant on a number of factors beyond our control, it can occasionally need some help to maintain an appropriate balance. - Page 17 THE ODOUR FROM THE ‘OUT-OF-SERVICE’ CHAMBER IS UNPLEASANT: If the ‘Out-of-service’ chamber is not connected to the vent pipe it may smell immediately after it has been taken ‘Out-of-service’. Odours can be greatly reduced or eliminated by covering the top of the pile with straw or dry grass clippings.
