                                 ROTATION OF CHAMBERS

    •       Your first rotation of the chambers
                                   It is important to observe safety procedures when dealing with
                                   fresh human waste. Please ensure you wear protective clothing
                                   (gloves and old clothes). Do not attempt to move the chambers on
                                   your own.


            The Clivus Multrum composting toilet chambers will need to be changed on a regular basis. A suf-
            ficient number of chambers must be purchased to allow the ‘Out-of-service’ chamber a minimum
            5 months; depending on climate, from the time they are disconnected from the waste chute.
            1. Prepare a new ‘In-service’ chamber for use (refer to Step 6: Installing the Compost Chamber).
            2. Pour a small bucket of bulking agent (clean mulch) down the pedestal to cover up the waste
                pile before removing the full chamber.

    •       Extra Chamber/s

            The ‘Out of Service chamber should be put in a warm position with the Air Intake Cap at-
            tached to threaded connector and the dust plug attached to the camlock.




        •    Removal of Compost

             The pile should have reduced in size to approximately 20% of its original size and contain a
             maximum of 75% moisture. This ‘humus’ must then be disposed of as per the local health
             department regulations. This normally means digging the humus into the soil and covering
             with at least 100mm of soil.



        •    Returning a Chamber to Service

             1. Ensure all hose and vent connections are clear.
              2. Prepare the ‘In-service’ chamber for use (refer to Step 6: Installing the Compost
                  Chamber).


         If the ‘Out-of-service’ chamber is to be placed away from the Main Vent assembly, you will
        need to dig a small second trench (20 x 20 x 20cms) to allow residual liquid to exit the cham-
        ber. Connect the second liquid drain hose from the chamber to the trench and turn the valve
                                             to the open position.
