CARE & MAINTENANCE
Operating the Chamber Screen:
The Excelet CS top comes with a movable screen to
obscure the view into the compost chamber. Follow these instructions to operate and
maintain the barrier.
Open the barrier before use by either lifting the entire seat or by sitting on the toilet.
To close the screen simply put the seat & lid down.
Use the Nature Flush enzyme spray and toilet paper should the screen require clean-
ing.
Maintain Correct Moisture:
To compost effectively, the pile should be kept moist (see
‘
the composting process
’
–
page 26). Assuming no urine enters the chamber add one
mug of water per person per week. This is an average; add less till the chamber is half
full. Add more in summer. Pour the water over the whole surface not just in one spot. If
too much water is added it will flood the bottom of the chamber and turn the system
anaerobic and maloderous. It is best to use diluted Nature Flush enzymes which accel-
erate composting and provide a pleasant fragrance to the toilet.
Foreign Objects:
The system should not be used for the disposal of sanitary napkins,
disposable diapers or any other matter.
Cleaning the Shell and Seat:
Just like any other toilet system, you will need to clean it
occasionally. To do so, use the Nature Flush enzymes as per the instructions on the
bottle with toilet paper
.
Soiled toilet paper can simply be dropped into the toilet.
Fan and Insect Screen:
Every month check that the fan is turning freely and clean the
hole at the bottom of the moisture trap as well as the fly screen inside the trap.
