Small capacity, non-electric, central flush composting toilet

Composting toilets use the natural process of decomposition to break down waste into usable nutrient-rich top soil. To begin the process, microbes are added to the drum. As waste continues to enter the toilet, the drum must be turned at least every two to three days.

Solid waste must always be followed by a scoop of bulking material. When the toilet is half full, the finishing process begins. 30 days later, there's usable odor-free compost. Even as the compost is being made, there's no odor.

The Sun-Mar Centrex 1000 NE is a composting system where a traditional-looking toilet can be put in the bathroom without electricity. The composting unit sits one to two floors below the toilet, usually within 15-20 feet. It's designed for use with the Sun-Mar Sealand 1 pint flush toilet (purchased separately).

This is a pollution-free alternative to sewers, septic systems and chemical toilets. This model uses no electricity unless there's a bend in the vent stack; in that case, a 12-volt fan is required.
