Congratulations on the purchase of your new EcoLet compost toilet system!

These EcoLet models are continuous process units (as opposed to batch systems), which 
means the waste is processed inside the unit producing finished compost which falls into a tray 
at the bottom of the unit. The tray is emptied every 6 to 12 weeks depending on use.

The systems are designed and built in Sweden and are completely odourless. The fan 
driven ventilation system, automated mixing mechanism and heating elements combine 
to encourage an efficient aerobic composting process and evaporate fluids. The finished 
compost can then be buried in your garden.

Unit dimensions

25e:

 710mm L x 550mm W x 650mm H

65e:

 810mm L x 650mm W x 660mm H

Foot print (including compost drawer):

 1100mm L x 650mm W (minimum)

THREE IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER

1.  When the toilet is used, room temperature should be at least 18

°

C.

2.  If you are away for more than two days, always turn the power off and put the cover in the 

seat opening, otherwise the compost will become dry.

3.  The heating element in the room can also be switched off, the composting toilet will not be 

damaged by freezing.

How the EcoLet works

EcoLet is a self-continued biological toilet that composts waste and toilet paper, and 
evaporates liquid. The composting process takes place using nature’s own microorganisms, 
without the need of any chemicals. Controlled air supply and heat, as well as regular mixing of 
the compost accelerates the composting process and converts toilet waste into eco-friendly 
humus. This makes a nutrient rich supplement for your garden.
