Ongoing Toilet Maintenance
Once your toilet is installed and you have gone through the initial start-up procedure, follow the steps outlined below
to keep your toilet working optimally.
Daily
Even if you only use the toilet for urination, at least one cup of
Compost Sure Green should be added per person per day of
use. Add the Compost Sure Green through the hole under the
toilet seat.
When in use, the opening in the Bio-drum™ must be
centered under the toilet seat, ready to receive waste at all
times.
Every second day
Every second day before turning the handle, spray 3-4 sprays of
Compost Quick on the surface of the compost. Compost Quick is
an enzyme that will speed up the composting process.
Turn the handle in a clockwise direction to mix and aerate the
compost. When mixing, ensure that the drum rotates 6 complete
revolutions (42 turns of the handle).
Every two weeks
Add one scoop (tablespoon) of Microbe Mix to the Bio-drum™ to
‘recharge’ the compost. This will help to ensure your microbe
colony stays constant and healthy.
Every three
months
Rake the evaporation chamber: Remove the finishing drawer.
Rake any solid debris from the inside floor of the toilet under the
drawer (evaporation chamber), paying extra attention to the two
back corners of the toilet as this is where debris may accumulat
Remove and dispose of the solid debris.
Twice per year
Clean the drum screen. Spray the Bio-drum™ screen with
Compost Quick and let sit for 15 minutes (this will help to loosen
the debris if the screen is not too encrusted). Scrub the screen
vigorously with a wire brush. If brushing the screen does not
clear it and liquid is still not draining through the screen, you may
have to use a screwdriver or nail to clear the holes in the drum
screen. (See page 17), “Liquid in Drawer” for details.
Periodic
maintenance
Remove compost from the Bio-drum™. When the Bio-drum™
is half full (level with the middle of the drum hub at the front of the
Bio-drum™) it is time to remove compost. To remove compost
from the Bio-drum™, see the section of manual titled, “Removing
Compost from the patented Bio-drum™.” (See page 12)
CAUTION
1) Do NOT add chemicals, plastics, glass, metals, diapers or feminine hygiene products to the compost.
2) Do NOT add plastic, glass, metal, cleaning fluids, cigarettes. Add only waste and Compost Sure bulking material.
3) Kitchen or garden waste, are NOT recommended.
4) Do NOT add baby wipes, diapers or feminine paper as they will not compost.
