Maintenance
Maintenance
Use the toilet until the first bin is full, or when the compost is 100mm (4”) from the bottom edge of the waste chute. Use a torch occasionally to check the level.
When the bin is full:
- Open the door.
- Pour 2 to 3 litres of water into the bin…this could be poured down the pedestal.
- If available, cover the compost with about 30mm bulking agents (wood shavings, sugar cane mulsh etc).
- Rotate the bins one position in the clockwise direction.
Continue until all bins have been filled.
We recommend that each time you find it necessary to open the door to rotate the bins, you should also carry out the following checks and maintenance.
- Remove the air inlet filter – if possible – and brush off any dust that will have covered the mesh. Wash the filter in a bucket of water.
- Pour water from a bucket into the bottom of the Rota-Loo. This will help to dissolve the salt build up. Drain the liquid into the bucket through the 40mm drain tube, making sure that there is no blockage of the outlet tube fitting. Drain out only about one third of the liquid into the bucket and top with fresh water. Use this mixture on your flower garden or lawn. If your Rota-Loo is connected to a permanent drain, make sure that the outlet in the Rota-Loo tank is not blocked and that the liquid flows out.
- Switch off the fan.
Remove the cover holding the fan inside the housing and remove self tapping screws holding the fan to the pipe fitting. Slide the fan out of the housing to release the fan motor.
- Using a soft brush eg. a paint brush, clean off the dust which can build up around the fan blades and motor. Replace the fan. The fan in the Rota-Loo, which operates continuously, will draw air into the system through the screened inlet pipe. Odour will not rise into the toilet room against the negative pressure thus created. A small amount of air is drawn down through the toilet pedestal, which will maintain fresh air into the toilet room. This maintenance program should be carried out at least once every six months.
- When the toilet is unoccupied, keep the lid closed over the seat. If the toilet seat lid is left open for long periods, there will be a decrease in evaporation and odour could occur.
