  • Page 11: Powering The Fan

    POWERING THE FAN A 240/12 volt regulated transformer is included to run the fan from mains power. The positive wire on the transformer is marked with a white line. The fan has anti-polarity protection and would not run if connected incorrectly. NOTE: The fan should run 24 hours a day to continuously circulate air through the compost heap.
  • Page 12: Excess Liquid Drain

    EXCESS LIQUID DRAIN The drainage system to be chosen depends entirely on the soil condition, ground water level, and local regulations. Please ensure you choose your location with this in mind. ABSORPTION TRENCH INSTALLATION This is the normal method for disposal of excess liquid, but refer to council for permit for any specific requirements.
  • Page 13: Using Your Toilet

    USING YOUR TOILET STARTING WITH AN EMPTY CHAMBER Once the pedestal has been installed, place one compost chamber inside the pedestal. 2. Remove the chamber lid and put back the pedestal lid. Do not misplace the chamber lid and make sure it is kept somewhere safe. 3.
  • Page 14 ROTATING THE CHAMBER The active compost chamber should be replaced with an empty one when it is approximately 75% full or when the pile is approximately 200mm from top of the toilet seat. Remove the pedestal seat and place the chamber lid on. 2.
  • Page 15: How Composting Works

    HOW COMPOSTING WORKS When do I empty the secondary chamber? As a general rule, you should leave the material in the compost chamber as long as possible. This toilet has been designed for 2 people full time where the average monthly temperature is greater than 18°C in any given month.
  • Page 16: Compost Accelerators

    COMPOST ACCELERATORS Whilst users report successful composting without the use of any additives, we strongly recommend the use of the following items in order to optimize composting, particularly when the toilet is in permanent use by more than two people. Bulking Agent When starting or restarting with an empty chamber, add a 50mm starter bed of bulking agent.
  • Page 17: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE GENERAL CARE The toilet should be examined regularly to ensure correct operation. The key areas to be checked are listed below: • Every 6 months, check that the ventilation fan is running well. We recommend spraying it with a degreaser such as WD40 to clean and lubricate it.
  • Page 18 Is your compost pile surrounding temperature too low? In cool climates do not insulate the toilet; turn down the fan voltage to lessen cool air being drawn into the system. If odour occurs due to the fan voltage being turned down, simply turn it up slightly to increase airflow.
  • Page 19: Warranty

    WARRANTY Pedestal • 10 years warranty. • Any damage caused by exceeding the maximum recommended weight listed in specifications will/may void your warranty. Chamber Screen • 2 years warranty. Ventilation Fan • 12 months limited warranty. • Powering the fan with an unregulated power source exceeding 12V or using power supply not recommended by Ecoflo will/may void your warranty.
