9. The solid waste can also be added to a composter along with other compostable materials, kitchen
waste, grass clipping, leaves, etc.
10. A dual compartment composter is recommended so that while one side is being filled the other side
stands for 6 months before the compost is placed in the environment.
11. The solid waste can also be burned using the Separett Burn incinerator or added to another intense
fire.
12. Some municipalities may also provide organic waste pickup.
If the Toilet Is Not Working Properly
The Separett Villa is manufactured and quality-controlled to ensure the best possible performance and
reliability. If, in spite of this, it appears to be malfunctioning, please check the points in the list below before
contacting your dealer or Separett AB.
Experiencing strong odours:
1. Make sure the insect mesh on the fan intake and the bug screen on the outside vent are clean.
2. Make sure all the joints in the venting pipe and urine waste pipe are completely tight.
3. If urine finds its way into the solid waste container, this will significantly increase the odour from the
container, to the point where the fan is unable to extract the odour. Remove container with urine and
put a fresh container in the toilet.
4. To help avoid urine in the container in the future, loosen the yellow toilet seat nuts and move the seat
forward.
5. Also to avoid urine in the container, you can use the plastic urinal extension, included with the toilet, to
make the front part of the bowl larger.
6. If urine is being piped into the greywater system, this can be the source of unpleasant smells. If this is
the case, install a water seal in the urine waste pipe to act as a trap.
7. Using enzyme Bio Tabs will also help reduce the buildup of urine salts in the pipe and keep the toilet
smelling fresh
If the fan is noisy:
1. Typically the fan is extremely quiet, however if some sounds starts to emanate from the fan, it likely
has a buildup of dust on the fan blades.
2. Unplug the power cable from the left side of the fan housing.
3. Loosen the 2 black thumb screws at the base of the fan housing. Pull the bottom of the fan housing up
and towards you to remove the housing.
4. Vacuum the inside of the fan housing from the top and bottom and replace in reverse order.
Urine hose is plugged:
1. Over time and heavy use urine salts can buildup in the piping and hose preventing the urine from
flowing freely.
2. Using enzyme Bio Tabs will also help reduce the buildup of urine salts in the pipe.
3. Run a cup of vinegar down the urinal periodically to dissolve any salt buildup.
4. For heavier buildup, use an enzymatic drain cleaner regularly to dissolve any buildup.
5. If using a water seal (trap), flush with a little water after every use.
Solid waste container filling up too fast:
1. If urine finds its way into the solid waste container, this will significantly increase the volume of waste
there.
2. If the toilet is used heavily by females, consider throwing the pee paper into the garbage rather than
into the waste container.
Insects are in the toilet:
1. First, unplug the power supply!
2. If there are flies, lift out the solid waste container and put a new one in.
3. Remove and clean the insect mesh on the fan intake.
4. Spray inside the toilet and the room with a fly spray. Keep the fan off while the spray is taking effect.
5. Repeat this procedure for a few days.
6. If the fan is to be turned off for a long period, put the lid on the waste container or remove the container
otherwise odour could enter the room and it could attract flies.
