gas tank starts to fill
(1-3 weeks)
Wait a day after assembly and verify there are no leaks before starting activation.
Activate the system in warm weather. (average day/night temperature at least 25 °C (77 °F) for the first 4 weeks).
To activate, you will need: 200 liters (52 gallons) of animal manure from herbivores, fresh (wet and up to 2 days old) & clean as possible
from straw/stones/earth. Manure from cows, sheep, goats, horses or pigs can be used. Do not use chicken droppings. The 200 liters can be
fed over a few days if it is difficult to obtain the full amount at once.
activating the system
DO NOT
start feeding the system with any
food waste until a steady flame can be
produced at your stove.
If you will be using ONLY ANIMAL MANURE with the system:
After the initial 200 liters, continue to feed the system animal manure daily, up to 25 liters per day (25ℓ 50ℓ water = 75ℓ slurry)
Depending on the surrounding temperature and the
freshness of the manure, the system will usually begin to
produce gas within one to three weeks after the initial
feeding.
When gas starts being generated in the system, some
liquid will pour out from the fertilizer outlet, and the gas
tank will begin to fill up and expand.
Raise the plunger (rest it on the sink’s plunger slot) and
start gradually filling the sink with slurry.
An equal amount of liquid will pour out from the fertilizer
outlet. You may collect and reuse this water to mix more
slurry to feed into the system.
Mix the 200 liters of animal manure with an equal
amount of water until it creates a consistent slurry (400
liters). If your containers are not large enough to hold all
the slurry, mix and feed it into the system in batches.
The 200 liters can be fed over a few days if it is difficult to
obtain the ful amount at once.
