Customer Reviews For This Product
CENTREX Central systems are a great option for anyone who wants a traditional looking toilet in the bathroom, and who has the ability to place a central composting directly 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 fixture to be installed in the bathroom is 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 AF NE system is designed for medium to heavy seasonal use or light residential use. The CENTREX 2000 AF NE unit is a non-electric, waterless central system, ideal for those who are truly living off the grid. The CENTREX 2000 AF NE comes complete with a 4" vent stack and 12 volt 2.4 watt fan, which allows the unit to operate odorlessly by drawing air down the toilet seat and up the vent stack. Please note, a power source for this fan is not included.
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 AF NE:
- For initial start up, add some Compost Sure (peat 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 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.

Location: Installed at summer cabin, Gulf Islands, BC
Reviewed By: Sandra Korpan
We were pleasantly surprised at the results the first time we emptied
the drawer of our Centrex 2000. The compost was not offensive at all.
The toilet is very easy to maintain. We use boiling water and your
"Compost Quick" to clean it. We have a solar powered fan attached to
it. We are very please with our investment, and feel that a composting
toilet is the only way to go in a setting such as this. However, we
also feel strongly that composting toilets should be introduced in "on
the grid" settings as well, because the make good ecological sense.
