Operation, Maintenance & Disposal
Operation:
1. Always sit while using the toilet! The pressure from a person sitting opens the view screen readying it
for use.
2. The front receptacle diverts urine away.
3. Solids are collected in the solid waste container.
4. Avoid adding organic material to the container, as it may have insect larvae and cause insect to hatch
in the container.
5. Fan The fan should be allowed to run constantly to reduce build-up of deposits on the rotor shaft &
other moving parts and to divert moisture outdoors.
6. This product is for household use.
7. The toilet will function in both warm and cold environments. Make sure to make necessary adaptations
if the urine outlet is exposed to temperatures below -6°C (21.2°F), the temperature when urine starts to
freeze. The urine drain line should be on a steep grade to the pit and for extreme cold, the drain line
can be insulated or wrapped with a heated cable.
Maintenance:
1. The capacity of a container for family four people, using the toilet on a full time daily basis, is about 3
to 6 weeks, depending on how much toilet paper is being used.
2. To increase capacity, consider putting pee paper in the garbage. However, for most vacation homes,
2 or 3 containers will suffice for the year.
3. Additional containers can be purchased if required. If the toilet is being used more frequently during a
short period, solid waste bags may prove necessary.
4. Switch fan off only when container is empty, removed or has its lid in place. Otherwise, it is easy for
flies to enter and lay eggs.
5. Regularly remove and clean the insect mesh on the fan intake. The mesh keeps insects out of your
bathroom and protects the fan from dust.
6. Clean with non-abrasive detergents and cleaning products in order to avoid scratching the surface.
7. Separett toilets are not temperature dependent and can also be stored in cold temperatures. However,
at very low temperatures you need to be extra careful, as the plastic becomes more brittle.
8. Cord should be stored in a clean, dry location.
Disposal:
1. IMPORTANT: You should contact the local authorities to find out which health and environmental
regulations apply in your region.
2. The solid waste in the container will start to dry and decompose while in the toilet.
3. Once the container is full, open the upper body of the toilet, put the lid on the container and remove
from the toilet.
4. Replace with an empty container with a new compostable bag.
5. The full container can be set aside for storage or the compostable bag can be removed for burning,
composting or thrown down an old outhouse pit.
6. If storing in the container, mix some soil into the container and cover the contents with a layer of soil.
Place the lid on the container but leave it slightly open to allow the air to circulate in the compost.
7. The container and its contents must be left to stand for six (6) months in order to inactivate all human
pathogens (this is the storage period currently required under health and safety regulations in Sweden
where Separett is manufactured).
8. Once the storage period is over, the contents of the container can be dug into the garden or compost.
Traces of toilet paper and compostable bag decompose and the end product makes an excellent
garden soil fertilizer.
