2.6 Emptying
Empty the Biolan Populett as soon as it fills up. Empty the unit com
-
pletely. The emptying shall be carried out either by shovelling, by turning
the body of the toilet upside down, or by tipping it over using the tail lift
of a waste truck. The Populett toilet is fitted with a bracket for the waste
bin lift of the truck.
Emptying:
1.
Take the liquid hose out from the canister/tank and fix it to the hose
bracket by turning.
2. Pull the Compostmixer to its rear position.
3. Lift off the sliding sleeve from the toilet unit (Fig. 5).
4. Pull the unit out of the building (Fig. 6).
5. Tilt the unit so that you will be able to put the transport wheels (part
16) in place.
6. Transfer the unit to the emptying location or leave the mass inside
the tank for composting and replace it with a new tank (Fig. 7). We
recommend that a toilet used only in the summer be emptied in the
spring, before using for the first time. The emptying process is most
convenient and easiest at this stage.
2.7 Emptying the liquid canister
Empty the seep liquid canister as required, however, at least once a
year. Utilise the seep liquid, rich in nutrients, as a source of nitrogen for
compost. In particular, this improves the composting process of garden
compost that is rich in carbon but poor in nutrients. You can use seep
liquid as fertiliser for ornamental plants in the yard and garden. A safe
dilution ratio is 1:5. You can also use undiluted seep liquid, but then
you must water the area carefully after the application to avoid early
blight. Fertilising in the autumn is not recommended so as not to disturb
the preparation of perennial plants for winter. The recommended storing
time of seep liquid before use as fertiliser is approximately one year.
2.8 Cleaning
You can wash the thermal seat of the Populett using any common do-
mestic cleaning agents. Likewise, you can wash the unit externally using
domestic cleaning agents.
The liquid pipe (part 14) and the liquid trough under the intermediate
bottom shall be checked once a year and cleaned as necessary. There
is no need to wash the toilet tank when emptying it.
3. Post-treatment and use of
the compost
Compost soil changes and develops constantly. It should be used in a
different manner in different stages of its development. Typically com-
post soil is divided into two groups based on its maturity: cover soil and
compost soil.
3.1 Need for post-composting
The grade of maturity of the compost mass emptied from the Biolan
Populett depends on how frequently the toilet is being used, i.e. how
long the waste lay in the unit before emptying. Recommended compost-
ing time for toilet waste is one year prior to application to ornamental
plants and two years before use in kitchen gardens.
During ordinary use, the compost waste does not have enough time to
compost sufficiently in the Populett, which is why post-composting is
necessary. A replacement tank, which makes composting of the waste
neat and easy, is available for the Populett 200 and 300 (see Acces
-
sories on page EN-8) as an option. Toilet waste can also be composted
together with garden waste.
