Initial Start-Up
Follow these steps when starting up your CENTREX 3000 toilet for the first time, or if you have emptied
the
Bio-drum™
and need to re-start the compost.
After installation is complete, do the following:
Step 1:
Spray Compost Quick: Remove the finishing drawer
and spray the whole inner floor of the toilet (evaporation
chamber) under the finishing drawer. This will help to
prevent organic material from hardening on the floor of
the toilet. Spray Compost Quick into the patented Bio-
drum™ and the inside of the finishing drawer.
Step 2:
Pour 1 bag of Compost Sure Blue into a bucket and add
2 quarts of warm water. Add 1/2 of the Microbe Mix
packet (2 Tablespoons) 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
3000. Rotate the drum to mix.
Ensure that the opening in the drum remains open
under the waste pipe. The CENTREX 3000 toilet is now
ready for use.
Step 4:
For electric toilets only: The fan should run
continuously 24 hours per day when installed in a
primary residence.
120 Volt Use: Plug in to a three-pronged electrical
outlet.
240 Volt Use: The toilet must use a main plug with an
earth connection.
Replacement of electrical components (including the
power cord and main plug) must be performed by a
qualified person to avoid electrical hazard.
Once installation and initial startup has been completed, the toilet may be used immediately. Please note that when first used it will take
approximately 6 weeks at optimum temperatures (70-90 ° F, 20-30° C) before you will have sufficient microbial cultures in the drum to achieve
good compost. During this time, the contents of the 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 6 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 toilet.
NOTE: Regular toilet paper may be used. Toilet paper is a good source of carbon for your compost.
