ROTATION OF 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 Nature Loo composting toilet chambers will need to be changed on a regular basis. A sufficient 
number of chambers must be purchased to allow the ‘Out-of-service’ chamber to have a minimum of 5 
months (depending on climate) from the time they are disconnected from the waste chute.

Prepare a new ‘In-service’ chamber for use (refer to 

Step 5: Install the Compost Chamber, page 7

).

Pour a small bucket of bulking agent (clean mulch) down the pedestal to cover up the waste pile before 
removing the full chamber.

The ‘Out of Service’ chamber should be put in a warm position with the Air Intake Cap attached to 

threaded connector and the dust plug attached to the camlock.

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.

1.  Ensure all hose and vent connections are clear.
2.  Prepare the ‘In-service’ chamber for use (refer to 

Step 5: Install the Compost Chamber, page 7

).

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 chamber. Connect the second 
liquid drain hose from the chamber to the trench.
