Basic Maintenance Instructions
Ultra low flush toilet and CENTREX 1000 Units
These instructions are not to replace the owner’s manual, but are intended as simple instructions for
daily use.
USING THE TOILET
Deposit the toilet paper, step on the foot pedal to flush, close the lid and walk away…your job is done.
If you plan on making a more substantial deposit and would like more water in the bowl, simply lift the
foot pedal up and the bowl will fill. When you have the desired amount of water, let the pedal drop
back in place and do what you have to do.
EVERY OTHER DAY
Turn the handle to mix and aerate the compost. If the toilet is being used predominantly for urination,
be sure to add at least one cup of bulking mixture (added at the composting unit) per average amount
of users per day. At the composting unit (not the flush toilet), open the access port to the drum. Add
Compost Sure at the rate of one cup per person per day, so, if there are two people staying, you
would add 4 cups of Compost Sure all at once (2 people x 2 days = 4cups). To avoid messy waste
pipe obstructions, Compost Sure should always be added at the composting unit, not the flush toilet.
Grasp the crank handle and turn in a clock-wise direction for 6 complete turns of the drum. Keep in
mind that one revolution of the drum = 6-7 complete turns of the handle. When the drum has been
turned the required amount of turns, turn the handle counter clockwise until you feel resistance on the
handle.
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT! By turning the handle counter clockwise, you are centering
the opening in the drum under the waste pipe. To ensure that there are no messy accidents, do not
skip this step!!
CHECK THE VOLUME OF THE BIO-DRUM™
To speed up composting, add one scoop of Microbe Mix every second week, and ensure that the
drum is not more than ½ full.
ATTENTION: the Centrex 1000 electric model must remain plugged in to an
electrical outlet continuously to function in an odorless fashion. If you will be
away from the residence where the composting toilet is installed for longer than
three days, the power may be disconnected while the composting toilet lays
dormant.
