Initial Start Up and Use
These steps are only used when starting up your CENTREX 1000 toilet for the first
time or when you have emptied the drum and need to re-start the compost.
After installation is completed do the following:
Step 1 :
Spray Compost Quick: Remove the finishing drawer
and spray the whole inner floor of the unit under the
finishing drawer. Spray Compost Quick into the patented
bio-drum and the inside of the finishing drawer.
Step 2:
Pour 1/2 bag of Compost Sure Blue into a bucket and add 2 quarts of
warm water. Add 1/2 of the Microbe Mix packet to the bucket. Allow
the Compost Sure Blue to absorb the water (about an hour).
Step 3:
Scoop the Compost Sure Blue mixture into the patented Bio-Drum
through the access door on the CENTREX 1000. Rotate the drum
to mix. The opening in the drum must remain open under the waste pipe.
The CENTREX 1000 toilet is now ready for use.
Step 4:
For electric units only. The fan will run continuously 24 hours
per day.
120 Volt Use: Plug it in to a three prong electrical outlet.
240 Volt Use: The unit must use a mains plug with an earth
connection. Replacement of electrical components (including the
power cord and mains plug)must be performed by a qualified person
to avoid hazard.
When you first start up the CENTREX 1000, it will take approximately 6 weeks at optimum temperatures (70-90 ° F)
before you will have sufficient quantities of microbes in the drum to actually achieve good compost. During this time, the
contents of the patented bio-drum start out as Compost Sure Blue and waste. Over the first 6 weeks, you will notice that
the compost will hold moisture and will become more uniformly dark in color.
During the first six weeks, you may notice that some Compost Sure Blue has fallen through the drum screen onto the
evaporation chamber to the left of the finishing drawer. This should be raked out and removed with the rake tool provided
with the unit.
NOTE: Regular toilet paper may be used. Toilet paper is a good source of carbon for your compost so it may be
added to the Bio-Drum™
