How to Operate the CENTREX 3000 AF 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 fixture to be installed in the bathroom is sold separately.
The CENTREX 3000 family are extra high capacity units designed for very heavy cottage use or medium heavy residential use. CENTREX 3000 family units are unique from other central composting systems because they incorporate Sun-Mar's Auto-Flow technology. This means that as the drum rotates, finished compost moves automatically through the drum and into a separate collection chamber at the end of the unit, making finished compost removal easier than ever!
The CENTREX 3000 AF AC/DC is a hybrid waterless central system that can operate with or without electricity. When 110 volt electricity is present, the thermostatically controlled heater helps to warm and evaporate liquid, while the fan assembly maintains a partial vacuum within the unit for odorless operation. When electricity is not present, the unit will default to the 4" vent stack, which acts like a chimney on a wood stove, constantly drawing air upward and out to also ensure no odor. A 2.4 watt 12 volt fan is also included, and should be installed in the vent stack to aid in the venting process (please note, power source not included). The CENTREX 3000 AC/DC is perfect for homes who have no electricity now but expect to in the future, or who are using generators for more than 8 hours per day. This system is also a good option if you live in an area that experiences frequent power outages.
All CENTREX 3000 family systems 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. The NST only certifies composting toilet systems that are odorless and that produce clean, sanitary finished compost. Visit the NSF website to see the CENTREX 3000 family's NSF Certification Listings.
How to operate the CENTREX 3000 AF AC/DC:
- 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.
- The unique Auto-Flow technology of the CENTREX 3000 AF AC/DC means that as compost becomes finished, it will automatically drop into the collection chamber on the right side of the unit where it is kept separate from fresh material. The drawer on the collection chamber can be easily pulled out by hand to remove compost; no tools are required to open it.
- After emptying the collection chamber, the compost should be moved into another bin where it can sit for 6 months to become fully finished and sanitized, before it is used.
- 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.
