4.3 Moisture
When the composting process is at its most effective, it is normal
that the bottom surface of the seat ring lid is moist. However, if
there is a lot of moisture on the seat ring lid and on the sides of the
seat ring, something is wrong.
Normally the problem occurs in the air outlet system or in the liquid
separator system.
- make sure that the replacement air valve (part 12) in the seat
top is open.
- make sure that the ventilation pipe (part 13) has not been
blocked.
- check that the ventilation pipe is routed from the toilet unit
straight up to the roof, and that it extends over the roof ridge.
If the ventilation pipe is not straight or does not extend over
the roof ridge, you can repair the installation or improve the
ventilation by installing a separate Biolan Exhaust Ventilator or
a Biolan Wind Fan (see Accessories on page EN-8). You can
also improve the ventilation by extending the ventilation pipe.
- make sure that the seep liquid removal system is operational:
the excessive liquid is separated into the canister and will not
spill out from the emptying door to a large extent. As required,
clean the liquid separator plate (part 7), the seep liquid chute
and the seep liquid pipe.
- make sure that the bulking material used is Biolan Compost
and Toilet Bulking Material (see Accessories on page EN-8).
- makesurethatasufcientamountofBiolanCompostand
Toilet Bulking Material, about 0.2-0.5 litres, has been applied
after each use. It may prove necessary to double the usage of
bulking material temporarily.
4.4 Liquid runs out from around the
emptying door
At the initial stage, when the toilet is still half empty, or in the case
of overloading, some liquid may leak out from around the empty-
ing door.
- if it is not a question of initial stage of use or an overloading
situation, clarify potential reasons in accordance with point 4.3.
4.5 Incomplete composting of waste
The reason for incomplete composting of waste is usually that the
mass is either too dry or too wet.
If a lot of decomposed toilet paper is detected while emptying the
compost, the amount of liquid has been too small in relation to the
volume of dry matter.
- make sure that the amount of urine supplied into the toilet is
sufcient.Ifthisisnotthecase,someliquidmustbeadded.
Urine is best for the purpose, but even water will do.
If the compost is wet or reeks when emptied, its liquid content is
too high.
- make sure that the seep liquid removal system is operational:
the excessive liquid is separated into the canister and will not
spill out from the emptying door (part 3) to a large extent. As
required, clean the liquid separator plate (part 7), the seep
liquid chute and the seep liquid pipe.
If the liquid separator system is working properly, the mass is wet
for some other reason.
- make sure that the bulking material used is Biolan Compost
and Toilet Bulking Material (see Accessories on page EN-8).
- makesurethatasufcientamountofBiolanCompostand
Toilet Bulking Material, about 0.2-0.5 litres, has been applied
after each use.
- make sure that the replacement air valve (part 12) in the seat
top is open.
- check that the ventilation pipe has not been blocked.
- check that the ventilation pipe is routed from the toilet unit (part
13) straight up to the roof, and that it extends over the roof
ridge. If the ventilation pipe is not straight or does not extend
over the roof ridge, you can repair the installation or improve
the ventilation by installing a separate Biolan Exhaust Ventila-
tor or a Biolan Wind Fan (see Accessories on page EN-8). You
can also improve the ventilation by extending the ventilation
pipe.
4.6 The mass does not drop down by
itself after the emptying
It is normal that the toilet waste is tough, sticks to the toilet walls,
and does not drop down by itself after the emptying.
- drop the mass down by pushing through the seat opening us-
ing either the Compostmixer (see Accessories on page EN-8)
or a sturdy stick. Dropping is easiest to begin from the corners.
Be careful not to break the air channel (part 8) in the centre of
the toilet unit.
4.7 The amount of seep liquid
entering the canister is larger than
normal
Usually the amount of seep liquid accumulated in the canister is
about 0.2-0.5 litres/user/day of operation. If the amount of liquid
accumulated is larger than this
- check the potential reasons in accordance with point 4.3.
- also note that the amount of seep liquid extracted at the initial
stage of use is usually larger than in normal use and stabilises

- check whether the way the toilet is used has changed, or if
overloading has occurred.
