Fan not
Working
Debris in fan, or
Mechanical failure
resulting in loss of
power
Remove the fan assembly from the
toilet and vacuum any dust out of the
fan blades.
Check the power source (ie. breakers,
fuses). If this does not remedy the
problem, have your serial number ready
and call SUN-MAR
The fan is a continuously moving
part which will eventually have to
be changed.
Liquid Build up
in Evaporation
Chamber
Increased usage
The amount of liquid varies
substantially between installations. The
overflow drain needs to be installed.
Install the overflow drain.
Climactic conditions
Evaporation rates vary substantially
with climatic conditions. Expect faster
evaporation rates during warm dry
weather.
Mineral salts may have
accumulated in the
evaporation chamber,
reducing evaporation
rates
Fill the evaporation chamber with very
hot water and 1/3 bottle of “Compost
Quick” enzyme liquid. Leave overnight,
and rake gently the following day to
remove.
Rake evaporating chamber at
spring start ups for cottage use,
and once every other month for
residential use.
Liquid
Overflow
If Drain Is Blocked
1) Check drain line for kinks, blockages
or upward bends. Remove and flush if
blockages present; un-kink if bent and
ensure that the drain pipe is sloping
downward. If your drain pipe is in order,
proceed to step 2.
2) Rake any solid materials away from
the safety drains. This is the “build up”
area. If drains are still clogged, proceed
to step 3.
3) Use a wire to poke blockage out of
the drain assembly. A brown spot may
be visible through the opaque
assembly.
Drain all liquid through the overflow
drain by tipping the toilet back (making
sure overflow is hooked up first)
1) A clogged drain is not very likely
to happen if evaporating chamber
is raked every 3-4 months.
2) Use premium 1”ID hose for the
drain line. A good hose will be less
likely to kink. Use elbows or fittings
around bends to prevent kinks.
Hose is provided with the Centrex
3000 and 3000 NE units.
3) Use Compost Sure Blue as a
bulking material.
Overflow drain not
hooked up
Connect overflow safety drain.
Toilet tipped forward Check and ensure that the toilet is level.
Heating
System not
working/ Lack
of Evaporation
Test to determine
whether failure has
occurred
Pull finishing drawer out and put your
hand in the evaporation chamber (NOT
in the liquid). This heat can be felt if
there is liquid in the chamber. If there is
no warmth rising from the floor of the
toilet, your heating system is not
working. It is most commonly the
thermostat that has failed.
If you notice a lack of evaporation, but
there is still warmth in the heating
chamber, see “Liquid Build up” for
solutions.
A ground fault interrupter circuit is
recommended to protect your
Centrex 3000 from power surges
that could cause your heating
system to malfunction.
Thermostat Failure Have your serial number ready and call
SUN-MAR for a replacement. (Detailed
instructions are included with the
replacement part)
