With some simple commonsense attention
your Clivus system will perform the way it should year after year.
A handful of woodshavings or similar
thrown down the toilet after each use will ensure the adequate amount
of other carbon rich material that composting toilets need. Apart
from this all that is required is to visually check the system from
time to time to ensure everything is in order. Except where a system
has been severely neglected over a long period of time, raking of
the composting pile is only necessary to occasionally level the
pile.
For public use facilities obtain
specific advice from us on suitable levels of care.
You should bear in mind that any
composting toilet may be neglected or abused. It is in these circumstances
that the ability to inspect and access the composting chamber is
crucial. The Clivus Multrum is the only system where such problems
can be rectified with minimal fuss.
MATERIALS AND SPECIFICATIONS
- The Clivus Multrum™ composting
tank is formed in UV-resistant rotomoulded polyethylene and the
tank is internally divided into a waste chamber and finished compost
chamber.
- The waste chamber is supplied
with stainless steel front baffle & air ducts and a polyethylene
rear air baffle.
- An inspection door at the front
of the chamber also facilitates maintenance of the compost pile.
- The finished compost chamber at
the front of the tank is fitted with a full-width access lid to
permit easy removal of compost.
- A drain fitting is provided in
the finished compost chamber to permit draining of any excess
liquid end product. An air inlet vent with insect screen is also
provided in this compartment.
- All fasteners are of stainless
steel. Other minor fittings are of corrosion resistant materials.
- All tank models may be partially
buried to a depth not greater than the
access door flange at the front of the tank.
- The nominal daily and annual capacities
assume an annual mean temperature of 18°C or above. Actual
capacity reduces with temperature and below an annual mean of
13°C the use of natural heating and/or worms may be required.
NOTE: For domestic installations,
regulatory authorities in the various Australian states have applied
differing approval criteria on the capacities of some models.
