How it works: Installation

Installation | Moisture | Oxygen | Temperature | Pathogens

Even a complete novice can install most of our Ecoflo compost toilet systems in about half a day. All you need is a clearance of 750mm for the Classic 750 and around one metre beneath your toilet room for our the Classic 1000 model. In the case of our self contained single units, the Excel & the Compact, the entire unit sits directly on the slab floor.

You can place an upstairs pedestal almost anywhere you want, completely independent of your downstairs unit. Some manufacturers of compost toilet systems allow two pedestals to feed into one chamber. Whilst this is cost effective it limits the design of the house to back to back toilet pedestals. With an Ecoflo compost toilet systems you are free to install the second loo wherever you want it. If you choose a Centrex micro flush compost toilet, each pedestal can be up to 4m away from the compostor. To install a micro flush centrex is somewhat more involved and we recommend a plumber is hired. We also offer discounts on second units destined for the same home.

A Nature Loo compost toilet does not need to be installed on the north side of a home because all chambers eventually get exposed to direct sunlight once full. The area required to install a Nature-Loo Classic compost toilet is less than half that of any other commercial composting toilet. The Centrex compost toilet systems are also comparatively small. This can be very important depending on your sub-floor structure. A footprint of 1m square is all that is required to install a Classic 750 compost toilet.
