Room Temperature
Under 55 ° F/13°C Install heat source to increase
temperature. Temperature
should be above 55 ° F/13°C
constantly to ensure
composting does not stop. Install toilet in warm area. The
warmer the area, the better your
compost will be!
Compost Too Dry/
Insufficient Moisture Add 1/2 to 1 gallon of warm
water to compost in order to
bring it up to appropriate
moisture level. Remove or
break lumps apart. A moisture content of 40-60% is
ideal for aerobic microbes.
Drum Too Full Compost not emptied
into finishing drawer in a
timely fashion Remove compost until drum is
only half full or less. Rotate
compost thoroughly to aerate,
and add compost accelerant
(Compost Quick and Microbe
Mix). Do NOT let drum get above 1/2 full.
This will lead to lack of aeration, and
the possibility of an anaerobic
compost.

Do not add kitchen waste or garden

Compost too dry
OR
Foreign material added
Applying pesticides such as
pyrethrin, or any locally
permitted equivalent safe for
garden use, to your compost is
an immediate remedy. Please
contact Sun-Mar for specifics.
The alternative to using
pesticides is to completely clean
the toilet out, and wash the
inside of the drum with soap
and water.
IMPORTANT :
If using pesticides, avoid spilling
on the outer shell of the
composter.
Keep compost moist. It should have
a slight gloss or shine. If it does not,
add warm water to it until it reaches
this consistency. Fungus gnats tend
to be attracted to the fungus which
forms on compost when it dries out.
Moist compost will not be attractive
to flies.
Do not add topsoil from the ground,
composted matter, or kitchen scraps
to the toilet. These may carry or
attract flies.
Use Compost Sure Blue.
