1. The composter has a storage for solid waste divided into four sectors, a storage for liquids,
a
biofilter
and a toilet seat.
2. The parts that need to be replaced at certain intervals are the electric fan
and the water pump

3. To fill up a composting sector takes normally 6 - 18 months. One can see when the sector is full
by looking inside the toilet seat’s sewage-pipe or through the special checking hole in the
composter´s lid with the help of a flashlight.
4. The waste at the level of the emptying door is ready as last. One can speed up the maturing of

the compost by increasing the temperature of the room the composter is located in, by applying
insulating material around the composter, by adding porous substances like straw, chopped bark or
acid peat to the waste or by adding composting worms into the soil. To punch holes for example
with a crowbar to the dry composting material will speed up the process. Under normal
circumstances, however, none of the above-mentioned procedures are necessary.

When the composting sector is full, the waste should be covered by 3-6 buckets of ordinary soil
or old compost. Rotate an empty sector - or an emptied sector that had contained the oldest
compost - into use. Put on top of the filtering tissue 5 - 10 cm layer of straw, chopped bark or acid
peat. The gasket of the emptying door shall be greased by the pipe putty (Unipack) before closing.
The sector is rotated by the handles above the side door or by using the EKOLET's lever. The rotating
is lighter if you grease the roller axis and lift the container's lid. In emptying the sector make sure
you don’t break the filter-tissue lining the inner surface. Before rotating into its place, make sure to
mark the starting date onto the emptying door. We recommend washing the filter cloth when the
composting sector is emptied of 2-3 times. Use a water hose, brush, and an environmentally
friendly detergent. Pull the bottom of the filter cloth bag out of the emptying door so, that the dirt
fall directly out of the sector.
6. The composted soil that is removed from a composting toilet is ready to use as such in the
garden as a fertilizer. The composted soil might need watering before empting.
