Initial Start Up and Use
These steps are only used when starting up your MOBILE/SPACESAVER toilet for the
first time or when you have emptied the drum and need to re-start the compost.
After installation is completed, do the following:
Step 1 :
Spray Compost Quick: Remove the finishing drawer
and spray the whole inner floor of the unit under the
finishing drawer. Spray Compost Quick into the patented
bio-drum and the inside of the finishing drawer.
Step 2:
Pour 1/3 bag of Compost Sure Green into a bucket and add 2 quarts of
warm water. Add 1/2 of the Microbe Mix packet 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 opening under the toilet seat on the MOBILE/SPACESAVER
toilet. Rotate the drum to mix. The opening in the drum must remain open
under the toilet seat. The MOBILE/SPACESAVER toilet is now ready for
use.
Step 4:
For electric units only. The fan will run continuously 24 hours per day.
120 Volt Use: Plug it in to a three prong electrical outlet.
When you first start up the MOBILE/SPACESAVER toilet, it will take approximately 6 weeks at optimum temperatures (70-
90 ° F) before you will have sufficient quantities of microbes in the drum to actually achieve good compost. During this
time, the contents of the patented 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 unit.
NOTE: Regular toilet paper may be used. Toilet paper is a good source of carbon for your compost so it may be
added to the Bio-Drum™
