EcoLet cross section Settings Capacity settings Adjust capacity by turnin the knob. The recommended start setting for 2 people: Step 2 (see below). After 1-2 weeks in operation, you might have to adjust the setting depending on the liquid level in the tube (#28).
Installation Tools required • Drill • 55 mm Hole saw or jigsaw • Saw • Measuring tape • Sealant/adhesives Instructions 1. Position the unit on a level surface leaving enough space in front of the unit to remove the compost tray. - Minimum distance from the back wall to the front of the tray is 1100mm.
Operation Starting with empty toilet 1. Mix the 5L bag of Peat Moss with the two 12L Mini Hemp bales provided with your toilet, this creates a very absorbent bulking agent. 2. Empty this bulking agent into the main chamber of the toilet through the toilet seat, this will fall down into the collection tray as well.
Fully composted waste will be pathogen free, but burying it will reduce the likelihood of contact with animals or people (better safe than sorry). Caution • Only use wood shavings and/or peat moss in your EcoLet. • Do NOT use sugarcane mulch or other stringy fibrous material.
Maintenance • Check the fluid level indicator tube regularly and adjust thermostat accordingly. – Fluid showing = turn thermostat up • Add bulking agent regularly. • Empty the compost tray BEFORE it is full. – Most people empty it once a month to avoid overfilling. When to reintroduce the microbes As you use the system, the microbes that you introduce will spread through your composting chamber which is aided by the mixing mechanism.
2. Make sure you can see into the composting chamber; you’ll need to depress the toilet seat for the 25e or lift it for the 65e to move the chamber screen. 3. Now release move the toilet seat lid away from the unit to release the seat sensor.
