INSTALLATION PLANNING 

It's all in the planning! 

For proper operation of the toilet you should consider a number of issues during the building design stages to enable the natural composting 
processes the best chance to give trouble-free operation. 

The design of the site and building needs to allow for: 

 

The location of the toilet pedestal in the building and the run of flush hose/pipe and any structures that may be affected. 

 

Water connection to the pedestal 

 

Location of the control panel and connection via the supplied Ethernet cable to the toilet pedestal 

 

The location and secure fastening of the vacuum flush unit – ideally beside the composting unit (more about this below) 

 

Electrical supply to the 24V DC transformer & the compost container ventilation fan 

 

Run of twin wires from the transformer to the vacuum flush unit and from the transformer to the pedestal 

 

Run of single signal wire from the vacuum flush unit to the pedestal 

 

Space for the composting container and a firm, dry and sheltered base for it to sit on 

 

Adequate access to service, maintain and exchange the composting container 

 

Good ventilation to provide oxygen and evaporate liquids 

 

Drainage trench location 

The GT 120 and GT 330 Eco Remote Composting System is supplied as a kit containing all of the components required for a typical, basic 
installation and can be installed using basic building tools and materials available at plumbing suppliers or hardware shops. 

Materials for most installations can be obtained from Green Loo, i.e. extra vacuum hose, fittings etc. 

Please note: Installation can be completed by a non-tradesperson – handyman/woman. Electrical wiring is 24V DC and no electrician is 
required by law for this. However, if in doubt, please consult electricians, plumber and builder as required.
