Do not underestimate the importance of acquiring and
maintaining heat in the Rota-Loo. The heat is used to
increase composting efficiency, help evaporate liquids
and kill pathogens. Locating the Rota-Loo in a sunny
location, preferably on the north side of the building
(in the southern hemisphere) is worth considering and
will not necessarily interrupt the energy efficiency of
the building. Using a solar collector (Soltran module
or similar), will greatly improve the efficiency of the
operation and in cold climates may be necessary.

Toilet Pedestal and Rota-Loo
• The Rota-Loo must be located directly below the
Toilet Pedestal.
• The RL950 may have 2 pedestals connected,
which may be on different levels. The 2 pedestals
must be at 685mm centers (see drawing above).
• The height of the pedestal above the Rota-Loo
may vary according to the building design.
We
recommend a minimum of 300mm from the
base of the pedestal to the top of the Rota-Loo.
The Waste Chute supplied allows for 800mm
from the base of the Pedestal to the top of the
Rota-Loo but additional Waste Chutes may be
added to increase this if desired.
•
Don’t plan to install a light directly over the
pedestal/waste chute as this will attract flying
insects.
Typically the waste chute is located directly over the bin immediately at the access door as this provides
the easiest operation scenario. The waste chute cut-out in the lid comes from the factory in this actual
position, however the Rota-Loo lid can be rotated so the toilet drops into another bin location should the
building design requires this. But please consider the impact on the operation and making sure that the
active bin is always located directly under the waste chute.

Locations where the monthly average temperature falls
below 10 degrees Celsius for 3 months or more each year
will require the use of a solar collector and insulation in
the cavity.
Where monthly relative humidity exceeds 80% at any
time, a vent drain and insulation of the outlet vent should
be installed to ensure condensate does not re-enter the
Rota Loo.
