INSTALLATION OF THE AQUATRON SYSTEM
4.1 Arrangement of the Bio Chamber
4.1.1 Build a platform for the Bio Chamber. Position a 2” (50 mm) insulation board on top of the platform.
For measurements see Figure 1 (Aquatron 90) and Figure 2 (Aquatron 400). Put the Bio Chamber
steadily on the platform.
4.1.2 Check the compartment where the system is to be installed. If low pressure occurs (e g if an oil-
burner is installed), a separate room must be built for the Bio Chamber. The compartement must
have a ventilator to the outside air and the door should be sealed by a strip seal.
4.1.3 The Aquatron system should be installed in a frost free compartement where:
- an optimal composting temperature is minimum 12
°
C (55
°
F),
- at year-round living or vermi composting a temperature above 15
°
C (60
°
F) is recommended,
- if necessary, insulate the compartment and install a thermostat controlled electric heater.
If the system is installed in a vacation house which is closed during the winter season, special
precautions must be taken.
4.2 Installing the Separator
4.2.1 Check that the Wire-ring is fully pushed down into the Separator neck and that the wires are not
crossed. The upper part of the Separator (Cyclone) should rest upon the Wire-ring. Tighten the hose
