POSITIONING THE TANK
If there is very little room between the top of the tank and the floor of the building, the order
of the installation can be changed as follows: Firstly, cut the hole for the pedestal in the floor
of the building (refer to page 9, Toilet Chute & Pedestal). Position the tank under the hole
and then mark the position of the hole onto the tank. After the tank has been marked, it can
be removed from under the building. Cut the hole in the tank and fit the chute collar before
placing the tank back into position.
†
Check the position planned for the toilet chute. The toilet chute must be positioned over
the top of the compost tank. For less maintenance of the compost pile, the optimum
location for the chute/s to enter the tank is mid-width, in the rear half of the tank. A
clearance of at least 150mm from edge of chute to edge of tank-top is desirable to avoid
rapid build up of the pile against the sides.
†
Check there are no major support beams, pipes or electrical wire that are in the way of the
toilet chute.
† Where mains power is to be used, check that a power point has been installed near the
location for the ventilation fan.
†
Locate where the excess liquid drainpipe and tench is to go and take this into account
when positioning the tank.
TANK SUPPORT
The composting tank must be supported by either packed earth with the tank placed on a
base of sand, or a wooden frame on a solid base (e.g. a concrete slab). Insulation between the
tank and the concrete slab will reduce heat loss and aid the composting process.
NOTE: The tank and enclosure should be protected from surface and floodwater.
