  • Page 18: Trouble Shooting

    1300 138 182. Clivus Multrum toilets have proven themselves to be one of the easiest systems to manage. However, be- ing a natural process, reliant on a number of factors beyond our control, it can occasionally need some help to maintain an appropriate balance.
  • Page 19 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. You may wish to do this before disconnecting the chamber.
