CM LOW PROFILE SCHEMATICS Vent installation option 1 Vent installation option 2 Optional If you are planning to excavate an area under the house for the compost chambers, please ensure the area is well-drained and any retaining walls are built to the satisfaction of the local authority.
INSTALLATION Step 1: Positioning 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. (Please note - due to the pedestals being man made the distance to the centre may vary from 245-255mm.

Go to the underfloor area and look for the hole you have drilled, and the dangling string. 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.
Extra Length Required for Under-floor Areas If the underfloor height exceeds 900mm (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.
Step 5: Compost Mixer The compost mixer comes pre-assembled and installed in each chamber. Ring Gear Mixer Key Mixer Rake Crank handle for rotating the ring gear. (Simply place the hook in the eyelet and turn clockwise) Step 6: Installing the Compost Chamber •...
Place brush seal on inside surface of Toggle latch chute extrusion as shown. Step 7: Connecting the Vent Pipe and Fan to the ‘In-service’ Chamber The fan runs 24 hours a day to continuously circulate air through the compost heap. Air is drawn down the toilet pedestal through the compost chamber and out the vent pipe.
POWERING YOUR FAN Mains Power A 240/12 volt regulated transformer is included to run the fan from mains power. Connect the fans to the transformer as follows: The positive wire on the transformer is marked with a white line. The fan has anti polarity protection and won’t run if connected incorrectly. We recommend a spare fan is kept on hand at all times, particularly after a year of use.
COMPOSTING ACCELERATORS Whilst Clivue Multrum users report successful composting without the use of any additives, we strongly recommend the use of the following in order to optimise composting, particularly when the toilet is in permanent use by more than two people. Bulking Agent Should be added on a regular basis, preferably a handful after each solid use.
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. • Turn the Compost Mixer backwards and forwards once a week; or possibly more often. Please read “Compost Mixer”...

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.
