These systems come with at least two composting chambers. Fill one, put it aside to continue composting, and put the second chamber into use. When it’s time to change chambers again, the contents of the first chamber should be well and truly composted. You then remove the compost, put it on your garden or bury it, and re-use the chamber.
These systems allow for virtually unlimited capacity. If usage increases, an additional chamber can be purchased to accommodate faster rotation and still provide adequate composting time.
The 3 variations of model (650,750 &1000) relate to the size / volume of the chambers.
Go to our “how they work” to find out more.
Included in the Nature Loo Classic Toilet Packages are:-
- Your chosen pedestal and seat (with seals)
- Waste connecting chute (70 cm in length – can be cut by you to suit your installation)
- Your chosen number of compost treatment chambers (65 cm high x 60 cm diameter) that separate solids and liquids
- Ventilation system including 2 x 2 watt 12 volt fans, plug pack/transformer and all other PCV fittings
- Liquid drain valve and pipe
- Starter pack containing Nature Quick Microbes (per chamber), Nature Flush concentrate with spray bottle & bulking agent (sugarcane mulch)
- Easy to follow installation and maintenance manual.
Maintenance
Every few months to a year the Nature-Loo composting toilet chambers will need to be rotated/exchanged. No official training is required to carry out the rotation and can be carried out by the owner of the property otherwise contact us if you need someone to give you a hand.
If the toilet is used consistently by the same number of people, you will soon see how often the ‘In-Service’ chamber needs to be replaced as this is dependent on use.
You can purchase any number of compost chambers in a package but the minimum is two (e.g. Classic 750-2). You can either upgrade to the three chamber model (e.g. Classic 750-3) when you first purchase the system or buy a third chamber at a later date.
A sufficient number of chambers must be purchased to allow the out-of-service chamber a minimum time (5 months for the Classic 750 and 6 months for the Classic 1000) from the time they are disconnected from the waste chute.
Every few weeks you should shine a torch down the toilet pedestal to see if it is full, (when the compost pile reaches the top of the internal vent pipes). This is not as bad as it sounds since the pile will always be covered with sugar cane mulch and toilet paper.
When the ‘In-Service’ chamber is full, you will need to swap it with the ‘Out-of-Service’ chamber.
To exchange the chambers:
- Disconnect the chamber(s) from the liquid drain and ventilation pipe
- The compost pile in the Out-of-Service chamber should have reduced in size to about 20% of its original size and contain a maximum of 75% moisture. This ‘humus’ must then be disposed of as per the local health department regulations. This normally means placing the humus under 10cm of soil or other plant based compost.
- Unscrew the flexible vent pipe from the compost chamber
- Close the liquid drain valve and disconnect it from the base of the chamber.
- Unstrap the lid of the chamber and lift it up the waste chute.
- Slide or roll the chamber on the trolley to one side and immediately put on the lid from the emptied Out-of-Service chamber. The lid contains an insect-screened air intake cap to allow circulation to continue.
- Depending on the model this full chamber is either connected up to the liquid drain and ventilation system beside the In-Service chamber or is capped with insect-meshed breathers and left in an airy and sunny spot on the property to compost.
- The empty chamber can then be placed into position under the toilet pedestal, the chamber lid lowered and the flexible vent pipe and liquid drain hose reconnected leaving the liquid drain valve in the open position
