USAGE: Disposal
The recommended procedure for disposing of the contents of the solid
waste tank is placing it in a proper composting bin to allow it to fully
decompose. When traveling in a boat or RV, this may not be practical.
The contents of the solid waste tank may be safely placed into a
conventional dumpster if it has been allowed to compost fully. When
fully composted, the solid wastes may be used to fertilize non-ingestible
plantings. Placing human waste compost on edible plants or vegetables is
not recommended.
Full-time users have some special circumstances to deal with. Full-time
use does not allow enough time for the solid wastes to compost. The
most recent waste, although mixed with the already composted material,
will not be decomposed. This also means that the fecal bacteria (present
in fresh human wastes) may still be present. We recommend taking
precautions such as the use of gloves if you may come into contact with
waste material. It is advisable that you delay emptying the solid waste for
6-8 hours after the last use.
Another method for dealing with non-composted wastes (if space allows)
is to purchase the “extra base” option and swap out the bases. The extra
base comes complete with all the necessary hardware, agitator, and bottle
holder. It also comes with a vented lid so the contents can be set aside
and allowed to compost. A storage bin utilizing the trash bag method of
emptying, placing the bag into a small plastic bucket, ventilating the lid,

CLEANSING & MAINTENANCE
A quick spray of water and white vinegar or a natural cleaner from
a
squirt bottle is all that is needed to keep your NH fresh between uses. If
necessary, a moistened paper towel (no synthetics) is excellent for
cleansing the interior (as well as the exterior) of the head.
For more intensive cleansing or dried-on matter, a paper towel moistened
with a 1:1 solution of vinegar and water may be used, and disposed of, in
the same manner, after cleaning. Bleach, ammonia, and other commercial
cleaning compounds should never be added to your composting head
as they will interfere with the composting process and may lead to
unpleasant odors. These cleaners maybe used to clean the exterior
surfaces.
Maintenance requirements for the head are very minimal. All metal
parts (bolts, hinges, latches, knobs, agitator, and trapdoor components)
are either stainless steel or brass. Filters on each side of the base should
be removed and cleaned yearly or when emptying the solid wastes.
