How to Operate the CENTREX 1000 AC/DC

CENTREX Central systems are an ideal solution for those who want a traditional looking toilet in the bathroom, and who have the ability to place the central composting unit below the toilet. It is important to note that with all central systems, what you are purchasing is the central composting unit that is installed on the lower level; the toilet fixtures to be installed in the bathroom are sold separately.
The CENTREX 1000 AC/DC is our hybrid CENTREX 1000 system, featuring both electric and non-electric features. This central system is designed for light to medium seasonal use, and is good for narrow spaces because it only measures 22-1/2" wide. This low flush central system does require that you have a plumbing connection for water; however, it does not require a constant supply of electricity. This unit is ideal for those who have no power supply now, but expect to in the future, or for homes with frequent power failures or who are using a generator for more than 8 hours per day.
When operating electrically, the CENTREX 1000 AC/DC has a thermostatically controlled heater, located in a sealed compartment in the base of the unit, and a fan assembly at the front left side. The heater helps to warm and evaporate liquid, while the fan assembly maintains a partial vacuum within the unit at all times, ensuring odorless operation.
When the power is out, a 4" vent stack that runs vertically from the unit, up and out the roof, acts like the chimney on a wood stove, constantly drawing air upward to maintain the necessary partial vacuum. Either way, you can be assured that the CENTREX 1000 AC/DC will operate without odor. The unit does come with an optional 12 Volt fan assembly that can be installed in the 4" vent stack. If you live in an area that is subject to downdraft, we recommend that you install this fan which can be powered by a 12V battery or solar panel (power source not included for the fan, you must provide that separately).
CENTREX 1000 units have been tested and certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and are listed to comply with NSF-ANSI Standard #41, the only North American performance standard for composting toilets. This means that CENTREX 1000 systems are certified to operate odorlessly and produce a clean, dry compost that is safe and sanitary. Visit the NSF website to see the CENTREX 1000's NSF Certification Listing.
How to operate the CENTREX 1000 AC/DC:
- For initial start up, add some Compost Sure Blue (hemp stalk bulking material) into the Bio-Drum™ together with some Microbe Mix.
- Use any toilet paper you want; the composting toilet will compost it without a problem.
- For ongoing operation, add a cupful of Compost Sure Blue per person, per day of use. Every 2-3 days (while unit is in use), rotate the drum 5 or 6 full revolutions. For weekend use, just rotate before you leave at the end of the weekend.
- When the Bio-Drum™ is half to 2/3 full, some of the compost should be moved to the finishing drawer. To do this, simply release the drum lock and rotate the drum backwards. Finished compost drops automatically into the finishing drawer. This process takes less than a minute, and most importantly, you never come into contact with fresh material.
- When compost is moved to the finishing drawer, it should be left there for at least 4 weeks so it can finish and sanitize. In the finishing drawer, it will be isolated from contamination by fresh material in the toilet. Once 4 weeks have passed, you can remove the finished compost from the finishing drawer at any time. The drawer is easily pulled out by hand; no tools are needed to open it.
- What do you do with the finished compost? Add it to your flower garden! The finished product is clean, dry, non-offensive, and sanitary. It will look and smell just like any other regular compost that might come out of a garden composter.
