Sun-Mar COMPACT - Fan Noisy; Fan Not Working; Liquid Build-Up in Evaporation Chamber; Liquid Overflow

Fan Noisy Bearings
beginning to wear,
OR
Dust/debris
gathering on
blades
1) If it is rattling, it may need to
be cleaned or the bearings are
worn and the fan needs to be
replaced.
2) A low “hum” is the normal
sound the fan will make. If you
are in a very quiet setting it will
be more noticeable. If this is the
case, consider purchasing a fan
speed control so that the fan
speed may be turned down.
The fan is a continuously
moving part and has a finite
service life.
Clean the fan with a small
brush and/or compressed
air nozzle once a year. This
will prevent wear and
lengthen the life of your fan.
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

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 safety drain
needs to be
in
stalled.
As a precautionary measure
install the safety drain.
Climatic
conditions
Evaporation rates vary
substantially with climatic
conditions. Expect faster
evaporation rates during warm
dry w
eat
her.
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 remov
e
.
Rake evaporating chamber
at spring startup for
cottage/cabin use, and once
every other month for
residential use.
Liquid
Overflow
The Safety 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 drain.
This is the “build up” area. If
drain is still clogged, proceed to
step 3.
1) A clogged drain is not
very likely to happen if
evaporating chamber is
raked every 3-4 months.
2) Use premium 1”ID
(EXCEL & EXCEL NE) or
¾” ID (COMPACT) 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 EXCEL NE toilet.
