Initial Start-Up
Follow these steps when starting up your toilet for the first time, or if you have emptied the Bio-
drum™ and need to re-start the compost.
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 1/2 bag of Compost Sure Green (EXCEL &
EXCEL NE) or 1/3 bag of Compost Sure Green
(COMPACT) 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
Green to absorb the water (about an hour).
Step 3:
Scoop the Compost Sure Green mixture into the
patented Bio-drum™ through the hole under the toilet
seat on the toilet. Rotate the drum to mix.
Ensure that the opening in the drum remains open
under the toilet seat. The 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.
115 Volt Use: Plug in to a three-pronged electrical
outlet.
230 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 Green 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 Green 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.
