Customer Reviews For This Product
CENTREX Central composting toilet systems are a great 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. Please be sure to note that the price on this page is for 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 NE system is designed for light to medium seasonal use, and is particularly useful in narrow spaces, since the unit only measures 22-1/2" wide. This non-electric, low flush central system is designed for those who do not have a constant supply of electricity, but do have plumbing connections for water. The CENTREX 1000 NE does not have a fan or heater like the electric CENTREX 1000. Odorless operation is ensured by a 4" vent stack mounted at hte top left of the unit, that runs vertically up through the roof. This vent acts like a chimney to draw air upward and produce a partial vacuum within the unit. If the CENTREX 1000 NE is installed in an area that may be subject to a downdraft, it is recommended that you install the optional 12 Volt fan (sold separately). This fan draws 1.4 watts and can be powered by a solar panel and/or 12 Volt battery.
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 NE:
- 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.
