The ‘ouT-of-service’ chaMBer is coMPosTing Too slowly:
This may happen due to one or more of the problems described above. At this point the most
effective course of action is to aerate the pile by turning it over with the Compost Mixer. You could also
add 500ml of Nature Flush Enzymes from a domestic spray bottle as you turn the material and add a
quantity of Nature Quick Microbes.
You should consider locating the chamber where it has a greater exposure to direct sun light.
However, if you find the pile is drying out too quickly put the chamber in a shadier position.
If you find none of the above measures are effective, it means the local climatic conditions are less
than ideal. This can happen in cold or humid conditions and you will need to purchase an additional
chamber in order to provide an extended composting period.
If you need to change your ‘In-service’ chamber and the ‘Out-of-service’ chamber is not yet
composted, dispose of the waste as normal and order an extra chamber from Ecoflo.
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.
The oDour froM The ‘in-service’ chaMBer is unPleasanT:
If this is not caused by a failed fan, or blockage in the vent pipe, liquid drain hose or fitting, please see
the “‘In-service’ chamber is filling too quickly” section for how to resolve this problem.
The Power has faileD resulTing in ToileT rooM oDours:
Cover the pedestal with cling film until the power is restored. If you are connected to mains power
consider installing an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), available at Ecoflo. The UPS will cut in with
power from a 7Ah battery when there is a loss of mains power.
Helpful hints from our customers:
• Paint the Vent Stack black to produce an upward air flow.
• Add a wind assisted turbo vent to the Vent Stack.
