SUN-MAR CENTREX 3000 TOILET
The key to the success of the CENTREX 3000 lies in its three-chamber design. Each chamber – the patented Bio-drum
™
,
the compost finishing drawer, and the evaporation chamber - has their own independent environments for optimum
efficiency. The Centrex 3000 is the only Sun-Mar unit with an additional compartment for finished compost, called the
Collection Chamber.
The
CENTREX 3000
electric version has a thermostatically controlled heater and fan assembly to help evaporate liquid.
They must be connected to electricity consistently, unless the toilet will not be used for three continuous days or longer.
The
CENTREX 3000 Non-Electric
(“NE”) version is for use where there is no electricity readily available. It has no built-in
fan or heater, but does include a 12-volt fan.
The safety drain must be connected in all Centrex 3000 installations. Please see page 9 for full details
on drain installation.
The Patented Bio-Drum
™
Unique to Sun-Mar, the patented Bio-drum
™
provides the necessary volume to maintain and easily aerate the compost by
simply turning the Bio-drum
™
. Excess liquid will exit through a screen in the bottom of the drum into the evaporation
chamber. Mixing the Bio-drum
™
is accomplished by manually rotating the handle in a clock-wise direction.
Compost will
drop automatically into the collection chamber
with SUN-MAR’s unique
Autoflow
™
technology.
Compost can be
removed from the drum by pulling out the white drum lock button (on the right-hand side, under the handle) and rotating
the handle in a counter clock-wise direction, resulting in compost dropping into the finishing drawer (see page 12).
The Compost Finishing Drawer
The compost finishing drawer sits in the opening in the front right of the unit. Since the CENTREX 3000 automatically
discharges finished compost into the collection chamber at the end of the unit, this drawer is used only if you need to
remove all compost from the drum, or make room in the drum for extended usage of the composter. Removal of the
compost finishing drawer and access panel allows access to the evaporation chamber for cleaning and maintenance
purposes.
The Evaporation Chamber
The evaporation chamber is the floor of the unit under the compost
finishing
drawer. This is the area where any excess liquid will gather for
evaporation. A safety drain exits from the left side of the composting
toilet which
will drain over-flow liquid that is not evaporated to an approved
facility.
The Collection Chamber
CENTREX 3000 units incorporate SUN-MAR’s unique
Autoflow
™
technology.
As the drum rotates, compost moves automatically through the drum
and into a
separate collection chamber located near the end of the unit.
