Customer Reviews For This Product
If your location allows you to place a central composting unit in the level below the toilet, and you want a traditional looking toilet fixture, then the CENTREX Central system is ideal for you. This is the central composter system, located on the lower level, not the toilet fixture. The toilet fixtures to be installed in the bathroom are sold separately.
The CENTREX 2000 units have a Bio-Drum™ which is a full 50% larger than the CENTREX 1000 series units. This allows it to handle medium to heavy seasonal use or light residential use. This non-electric, low flush central system is designed for applications that do not have a constant supply of electricity, but do have plumbing connections for water. To ensure odorless operation at all times, the CENTREX 2000 NE is built with a 4" vent stack that exits vertically from the unit and runs up and out the roof line of the home. This 4" vent acts like a chimney on a wood stove, drawing air upward and out, and thus maintaining a partial vacuum inside the unit .
If the CENTREX 2000 NE is going to be used residentially or if it's in a location that may be subject to downdraft, you should also purchase the optional 12 Volt 2.4 watt fan should be installed in the vent stack. This fan is sold separately, and can be powered by a solar panel and/or 12 Volt battery.
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 NE:
- At the time of the initial start up, you will need to add some Compost Sure Blue (hemp stalk bulking material) into the Bio-Drum™ together with Microbe Mix.
- You may use any toilet paper you want because the composting toilet will compost it without a problem.
- As the unit is used, add a cupful of Compost Sure Blue per person, per day. Additionally you will need to rotate the drum 5 or 6 full revolutions every 2-3 days. For weekend use, just rotate before you leave at the end of the weekend.
- When the Bio-Drum™ is half to 2/3 full, you should move some of the compost to the finishing drawer. This can be accomplished quickly and easily without coming in contact with fresh material. By releasing the drum lock and rotating the drum backwards, the finished compost drops in the finishing drawer.
- The compost is left in the drawer for a minimum of 4 weeks to finish and sanitize. During this period it is kept separate from the fresh material to assure no contamination occurs. You can then remove the compost after 4 weeks.
- The finished compost product will look and smell like any compost that would come from your garden composter. So make good use of it and add it to your flower garden!

Reviewed By: Lawson Cannon, DC
Although I live near an urban area, with city utilities available, as a social and
environmental statement I choose to live "off the grid" with solar
power and recycled waste. I process my blackwater with Sun-Mar's
Centrex 2000 NE composting toilet system. I started with another
manufacturer's product, but it failed within a few months. I have
enjoyed my Sun-Mar system for 5 years now. I appreciate its simplicity
and reliability. I am able to process waste from 3 low-flush toilets
that feed the biodrum which is located in a walk-in space under the
house. The staff at Sun-Mar has been extremely knowledgeable and
helpful. When small problems arise they offer expert advice at no
charge and supplies at a reasonable fee. In fact, I am so pleased with
Sun-Mar's products and service that when I built a guest cottage, I
installed a Sun-Mar Excel NE whose performance is flawless. Thank you
so much for your fine products, friendly service, and longstanding
dedication to living in harmony with Mother Earth.
