Rotation Of Chambers - Ecoflo CM HP Installation And Operation Manual

ROTATION OF CHAMBERS

Your first rotation of the chambers:
The Clivus Multrum 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 a minimum 6 months;
depending on climate, from the time they are disconnected from the waste chute.
Prepare a new 'In-service' chamber for use (refer to Step 5: Install the Compost Chamber, page 9).
Pour a small bucket of bulking agent (clean mulch) down the pedestal to cover up the waste pile before
removing the full chamber.
Extra Chamber/s:
The 'Out of Service' chamber should be put in a warm position with the Air Intake Cap attached to
threaded connector and the dust plug attached to the camlock.
Removal of Compost:
The pile should have reduced in size to approximately 20% of its original size and contain a maximum
of 75% moisture. This 'humus' must then be disposed of as per the local health department regulations.
This normally means digging the humus into the soil and covering with at least 100mm of soil.
Returning a Chamber to Service:
1. Ensure all hose and vent connections are clear.
2. Prepare the 'In-service' chamber for use (refer to Step 5: Install the Compost Chamber, page 9).
If the 'Out-of-service' chamber is to be placed away from the Main Vent assembly, you will need to dig
a small second trench (20 x 20 x 20cms) to allow residual liquid to exit the chamber. Connect the second
liquid drain hose from the chamber to the trench.
