How to Operate the CENTREX 2000 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 2000 family features a Bio-Drum™ that is 50% larger than the CENTREX 1000 series units, meaning that the CENTREX 2000 AC/DC unit is designed for medium to heavy seasonal use or light residential use. This low flush central system is a "hybrid" central composting toilet system, meaning that it can operate with or without electricity. This makes it an ideal model for homes that don't currently have electricity, but expect to in the future, or homes that experience frequent power outages or those using generators for more than 8 hours per day. The Centrex 2000 AC/DC does require plumbing connections for water. When operating electrically, the CENTREX 2000 AC/DC has a thermostatically controlled heater that helps to warm and evaporate liquid and a fan assembly that maintains a partial vacuum within the unit at all times, ensuring odorless operation. When the power is out, the unit will default to the 4" vent stack that acts like a chimney on a wood stove, constantly drawing air upward and out of the unit to maintain odor free operation.
All units in the CENTREX 2000 family have been tested by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and are certified to comply with NSF-ANSI Standard #41, the only North American performance standard for composting toilets. This testing and certification guarantees that this system will operate odorlessly and produce a clean, dry compost that is safe and sanitary. Visit the NSF website to see the CENTREX 2000 family's NSF Certification Listing.
How to operate the CENTREX 2000 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.
