Customer Reviews For This Product
The COMPACT is a medium capacity electric self-contained toilet and an ideal model for light residential or light to medium cottage use. It is especially popular for use in cabanas, guest houses, pool houses, or any remote place where there is an electrical connection but no plumbing. Because the COMPACT toilet uses no water, you won't have to worry about plumbing or hook ups for installation. All you have to do to install the unit is assemble the vent stack that comes included with the toilet.
The COMPACT is designed as a small, low profile unit. This allows the seat to be only slightly higher than a regular toilet, a feature that makes the COMPACT ideal for elderly or handicapped individuals.
There is only one performance standard in North America for composting toilets, and that is the National Sanitation Foundations NSF/ANSI Standard #41-1999. Only Sun-Mar composting toilets are certified by the NSF for residential and/or seasonal use. This means that all our composting toilets have been tested by an NSF recognized independent testing laboratory for 6 months at maximum capacity, and they are certified to operate without odor and produce a clean, safe compost. For verification, please see Sun-Mar's
NSF Listing
.
How to operate the COMPACT:
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
Compost Sure
as specified in the product instruction manual. 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.

We installed the Compact after struggling without success with another composting toilet for many years. The Compact is used daily for 4-6 weeks each summer and then for occasional weekend use the rest of the year. It works wonderfully!
