How to and how often to empty the tray This depends on use, but the system is designed to be emptied every 6 to 12 weeks when used to its maximum capacity. As a general rule, once you are collecting completed compost from your collection drawer you can empty it once the compost pile reaches the top mixing arm (see example below).
• Do NOT use bowl cover when system in use. • Avoid bulking agents with very fine particles that can become “cakey“ when absorbing moisture, which will block the drainage of excess moisture. • Only use peat moss, wood-shavings and hemp in your EcoLet. Maintenance • Check the fluid level indicator tube regularly and adjust thermostat accordingly. – Fluid level increasing and above halfway = turn thermostat up •...
When to turn the system off If you’re going to leave your system unattended for longer than two weeks, you can switch it off and place the bowl cover into the seat. This seals the chamber and will prevent any smells from entering your bathroom.
