Fan Not Working
Liquid
Build up/
Lack of
Evaporat-ion
Liquid
Overflow
Debris in fan or
mechanical failure.
Increased usage.
Climactic conditions
Mineral salts may have
accumulated in the
evaporation chamber
over time, reducing
evaporation rates.
Drains Blocked
Remove the fan assembly from the unit and vacuum
any dust out of the fan blades.
Check the power source. If this does not remedy
the problem, have your serial number ready and call
SUN-MAR
The amount of liquid varies substantially between
installations. The overflow drain needs to be
installed.
Evaporation rates vary substantially with climatic
conditions. Expect faster evaporation rates during
warm dry weather.
To remove these, fill the evaporation chamber with
very hot water and 1/3 bottle of “Compost Quick”
enzyme liquid. Leave overnight.
Drain all Liquid through the overflow drain by tipping
the unit up (make sure overflow is hooked up first)
1. Rake peat moss away from the safety drains.
This is the “build up” area. If drains are still
clogged, proceed to step 3.
2. Check drain line for kinks, blockages or upward
bends. Remove and flush if blockages present,
unkink if bent and ensure that the drain pipe is
sloping downward. If your drain pipe is in order,
proceed to step 3.
3. Use a wire to poke blockage out of the drain
assembly. You will notice if this is clogged
because you will see a brown spot through the
opaque assembly.
The fan is a continuously moving
part which will eventually have to be
changed. Do Not turn on and off
daily.
Install the overflow drain.
Rake evaporating chamber at spring
start ups for cottage use, and once
every other month for residential
use.
1. A clogged drain is not very likely
to happen if you rake your evapo-
rating chamber every 3-4 months.
2. Use premium 1”ID (Excel) or
¾”ID (Compact) hose for the
drain line. A good hose will be
less likely to kink. Use elbows or
fittings around bends to prevent
kinks.
3. Use Compost Sure Green as your
bulking material.
