Product Description
Sun-Mar CENTRAL FLUSH Composting Toilet Systems
The larger composting drum in the Centrex 2000 AF (Air Flow) allows a longer composting cycle, and larger waste volumes. The increased surface area in the evaporating chamber also provides better evaporation. When used seasonally by up to 9 adults, compost will normally only need to be removed annually at the beginning of the cottage season.
If used in a residence, the drum would have to be rotated backwards to empty some compost into the finishing drawer once every few months, where it remains to finish composting before removal.
The Centrex 2000 AF (Air Flow) is designed for use with a Sun-Mar Dry Toilet. This unit is ideal for those who do not have water, but still want the composting action to take place outside of the bathroom area. The Centrex 2000 AF is normally able to evaporate all liquids, so the drains must be connected only if heavy use (i.e. use at or over maximum capacity, or residential use) or prolonged power outages are expected.
The Centrex 2000 AF features a 370 watt thermostatically controlled heater in a sealed compartment under the unit and the standard Sun-Mar 30 watt turbo fan, with a 2" vent stack to remove the evaporate and fresh odors.
The Centrex 2000 AF is supplied with a 29½" pipe piece (10" diameter). This is long enough if the floor of the bathroom is up to 34" above the surface that the composter is placed on. The pipe piece can be cut to size and additional pieces ordered if necessary.
This unit should evaporate all liquid unless it is being used heavily. A 1" drain hose is supplied for hooking up the drain in any case, since we recommend it for most residential use or heavier cottage use.
How Composting Works
Composting is Nature's Way
Every living organism consumes nutrients and creates waste. To transform waste back to nutrients and complete this cycle, nature uses the processes of decompostition and evaporation.
Sun-Mar toilets are designed not only to harness these natural processes, but to optimize and accelerate them.
Toilet waste is over 90% water content. This can be evaporated and the small amount of remaining material is recycled into a useful fertilizing soil.
Sun-Mar units are economical, quick to install and easy to use and because no chemicals nor septic systems are used, fragile environments can be protected.
A Sun-Mar composting unit is an environmentally healthy choice for recycling human waste.
And there's no smell!
The Sun-Mar system evaporates excess liquid and by continuously pulling air in it ensures no smell escapes from the unit.
