Sun-Mar Mobile Composting Toilet: S $1467.75 Assembled H x W x D: 30 x 20 x 23” Manufacturer’s Warranty: 5 years on the fiberglass tank and 3 years parts replacement on all other parts The Sun-Mar Mobile is designed for boats and RVs. The mobile is marinized to accommodate violent motion, with mounting brackets, a finishing drawer that is gasketed in, and a fold up footrest which can be easily removed to access the finishing drawer. With a width of only 19 1/2 inches and depth of 23 inches this medium capacity self contained electric composting toilet occupies only slightly more floor space than a toilet seat. All Sun-Mar composting toilets incorporate a patented Bio-drum™ which ensures fast and odourless decomposition. Saves thousands of gallons of water, while recycling waste into safe useable soil. The unit is shipped fully assembled. Seasonal capacity: 3 adults or families of 4. Residential use: 1 adult or family of 2 *Uses no water *Recycles waste into fertilizing soil. *No Odor *US Coast Guard Certified *Certified & Listed by NSF *5 years on the fiberglass tank and 3 years parts replacement on all other parts No pump-outs! Recycling Brings Freedom. The original composting toilet for Mobile and Marine applications, no muss and no fuss, no changing containers, no pouring out urine. Self-contained and with a little maintenance works like a charm! Composting Capacity 1 Residential 3-4 Weekend & Vacation For fore and aft and RV installation – AC only on heater (12 volt fan may be used on its own if desired). The Sun-Mar Mobile was the first composting toilet specifically designed to recycle waste on boats and recreational vehicles. Less pump-outs! No more chemical toilets! Recycling brings freedom, with the ODOR-FREE operation of a Sun-Mar. The Design of the Sun-Mar Mobile Although the Sun-Mar Mobile uses Sun-Mar’s tried and true three-chamber system, ”marinizing” the unit led to some interesting adaptations. The need to be able to handle violent motion meant that the finishing drawer had to be gasketed so that no liquid could escape from the evaporating chamber. The air intakes face the same problem. These have to be located higher up and the air ducted down to the evaporating chamber. At the same time, a special drum locker ensures that the composting drum is held upright under all sea or road conditions. Space constraints mean that a fold-away foot rest is needed on the unit. This footrest has spring loaded legs, and a safety release mechanism to enable it to be removed periodically when access to the finishing drawer is required. To assist installation, strong mounting brackets are mounted at the base and rear of the unit. Electrically, the Sun-Mar Mobile units are quite different from other units because of the unique situation on many boats and RV’s. A 4.0 Watt 12 Volt fan is installed in a fan box within the vent stack. This fan, (which is on its own circuit) is designed to operate continuously while the u |

Sun-Mar Centrex 2000 AF Composting Toilet, Electric: S $1847.75 Assembled H x W x D: 28 x 46 x 27” Manufacturer’s Warranty: 5 years on the fiberglass tank and 3 years parts replacement on all other parts The Sun-Mar Centrex 2000 AF is designed for medium to heavy cottage or light residential use. The Centrex 2000 AF is an electric, waterless central composting toilet system. A Sun-Mar Dry Toilet is required for use with this unit (sold separately – search ‘Dry Toilet’ or ‘Sun-Mar’ to add the required unit to your cart). All Sun-Mar composting toilets incorporate a patented Bio-drum™ which ensures fast and odourless decomposition. Saves thousands of gallons of water, while recycling waste into safe useable soil. The unit is shipped fully assembled. A Sun-Mar Dry toilet is required for use with this unit (sold separately). Seasonal capacity: 6 adults or families of 8. Residential use: 5 adults or families of 6. *No water or sewer connections required *No Pollution *No Odor *Certified & Listed by NSF *5 years on the fiberglass tank and 3 years parts replacement on all other parts. The larger composting drum in the Centrex 2000 AF (Air Flow) allows a longer composting cycle, and larger waste volumes. The increased surface area in the evaporating chamber also provides better evaporation. When used seasonally by up to 9 adults, compost will normally only need to be removed annually at the beginning of the cottage season. If used in a residence, the drum would have to be rotated backwards to empty some compost into the finishing drawer once every few months, where it remains to finish composting before removal. The Centrex 2000 AF (Air Flow) is designed for use with a Sun-Mar Dry Toilet (purchased separately). This unit is ideal for those who do not have water, but still want the composting action to take place outside of the bathroom area. The Centrex 2000 AF is normally able to evaporate all liquids, so the drains must be connected only if heavy use (i.e. use at or over maximum capacity, or residential use) or prolonged power outages are expected. The Centrex 2000 AF features a 370 watt thermostatically controlled heater in a sealed compartment under the unit and the standard Sun-Mar 30 watt turbo fan, with a 2” vent stack to remove the evaporate and fresh odors. The Centrex 2000 AF is supplied with a 29½” pipe piece (10” diameter). This is long enough if the floor of the bathroom is up to 34” above the surface that the composter is placed on. The pipe piece can be cut to size and additional pieces ordered if necessary. This unit should evaporate all liquid unless it is being used heavily. A 1” drain hose is supplied for hooking up the drain in any case, since we recommend it for most residential use or heavier cottage use. Capacity Listed capacities refer to the amount of people, on average, using the unit per day. Do not pick a unit that is below your capacity.

All 3000 series units are supplied with a 1” drain hose which should be connected to the 1” drain at the bottom left of the unit. This unit |

A Sun-Mar Dry Toilet is required for use with this unit (sold separately – search ‘Dry Toilet’ or ‘Sun-Mar’ to add the required unit to your cart). All Sun-Mar composting toilets incorporate a patented Bio-drum™ which ensures fast and odourless decomposition. Saves thousands of gallons of water, while recycling waste into safe useable soil. The unit is shipped fully assembled. A Sun-Mar Dry toilet is required for use with this unit (sold separately). Seasonal capacity: 7 adults or families of 9. Residential use: 5 adults or families of 7. *Uses no water *Recycles waste into fertilizing soil. *No Odor *Certified & Listed by NSF *5 years on the fiberglass tank and 3 years parts replacement on all other parts The Centrex 3000 AF (Air Flow) NE (Non-Electric) employs continuous flow design for very heavy cottage or medium residential use. With a continuous flow system, rotation of the drum moves compost along the larger and longer 3000 series drum, before it drops automatically into the collection housing at the end of the unit. Under normal operating conditions the drum will not have to be turned backwards for emptying. When used seasonally by up to 10 adults, compost will normally only need to be removed annually at the beginning of the following season. The Centrex 3000 AF NE features a 4” vent stack which is used to vent the unit passively. We also include a 12 volt 2.4 watt fan that is required in the vent stack to assist airflow. The Centrex 3000 AF NE is designed for use with a Sun-Mar Dry Toilet. A pipe piece, 45” in length and 10” in diameter, is supplied with the unit. The only restriction on installation is that the Dry Toilet needs to be directly above the unit so that there is a straight drop. This is long enough if the floor of the bathroom is up to 37.5” above the surface that the composter is placed on. The pipe piece can be cut to size and additional pieces ordered if necessary. All 3000 series units are supplied with a 1” drain hose which should be connected to the 1” drain at the bottom left of the unit. This unit is for use with a Dry Toilet, purchased separately. Capacity Listed capacities refer to the amount of people, on average, using the unit per day. Do not pick a unit that is below your capacity.

The Septic System Owner’s Manual $15 This is a thorough, non-technical handbook and guide to the basics of septic systems–the physical process that takes place in the septic system and the simple technology needed to make it work. Emphasis is on conventional septic systems powered by gravity flow, filtering through soil, and the natural soil organisms that purify sewage. The book covers, in addition to septic tanks and drainfields, septic system maintenance, what to do if things go wrong, and alternative systems such as mounds and sand filters. There are also chapters on greywater systems, composting toilets, and a unique history of water-borne waste disposal. Until now there has not been a comprehensive, nontechnical book for homeowners about the intricate workings of a septic system –what it is, how it works, and how to maintain and repair it. Peter Aschwanden, illustrator of the celebrated classic How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive, did the informative and witty drawings in the book. There are over 28 million septic systems in America, and this book shows homeowners how to keep them up (or should we say down?) and running. |

Sun-Mar Centrex 2000 AF AC/DC Composting Toilet: S $1942.75 Assembled H x W x D: 28 x 46 x 27” Manufacturer’s Warranty: 5 years on the fiberglass tank and 3 years parts replacement on all other parts The Sun-Mar Centrex 2000 AF AC/DC is designed for medium to heavy cottage or light residential use. The Centrex 2000 AF AC/DC is a waterless composting unit which can operate in electric or non-electric mode. A Sun-Mar Dry Toilet is required for use with this unit (sold separately – search ‘Dry Toilet’ or ‘Sun-Mar’ to add the required unit to your cart). All Sun-Mar composting toilets incorporate a patented Bio-drum™ which ensures fast and odourless decomposition. Saves thousands of gallons of water, while recycling waste into safe useable soil. The unit is shipped fully assembled. A Sun-Mar Dry toilet is required for use with this unit (sold separately). Seasonal capacity: 6 adults or families of 9. Residential use: 3 adults or families of 6. *Uses no water *Recycles waste into fertilizing soil. *No Odor *Certified & Listed by NSF *5 years on the fiberglass tank and 3 years parts replacement on all other parts Perfect for medium to heavy seasonal or light residential use, the Centrex 2000 A/F AC/DC allows for both a longer composting cycle, and larger waste volumes. The increased surface area in the evaporating chamber coupled with the larger heating element also provides better evaporation when the unit is on AC power. When used seasonally by up to 7-9 adults, compost will normally only need removing annually each spring. In residential use compost will have to be extracted more frequently. The Centrex 2000 A/F AC/DC combines the features of the non-electric and electric units to produce a hybrid unit that will be ideal for those anticipating 110 volt power in the future, those who are in an area that sees frequent power outages, or those who would like to take advantage of the evaporative capacity of the heater when 110V electricity is available to them. Even with the evaporation capacity, the overflow drain should be installed with this unit as there will be overflow when the unit is being used in DC mode, and when it is used to maximum capacity in AC mode. The Centrex 2000 A/F AC/DC is designed for use with a Sun-Mar Dry Toilet (purchased separately). This unit is ideal for those who do not have water, but still want the composting action to take place outside of the bathroom area. The Centrex 2000 A/F AC/DC is supplied with a 29½” pipe piece (10” diameter). This is long enough if the floor of the bathroom is up to 38” above the surface that the composter is placed on. The pipe piece can be cut to size and additional pieces ordered if necessary. The Centrex 2000 A/F AC/DC requires that 2 vent stacks be installed to handle the separate venting functions. The 2” vent is in use when the AC fan is in operation, and the 4” vent is venting the unit passively when there is no power available. As an extra option, we include a 12 Volt 1.4 Watt fan with |

Sun-Mar Excel-NE Composting Toilet, White – Non-Electric: S $1372.75 Assembled H x W x D: 32 x 23 x 33” Manufacturer’s Warranty: 5 years on the fiberglass tank and 3 years parts replacement on all other parts The Sun-Mar Excel-NE has long been the standard toilet for those living off the grid. The Excel-NE is a high capacity self-contained non-electric composting toilet. Like all Sun-Mar composting toilets the Excel-NE incorporates a patented Bio-drum™ which ensures fast and odourless decomposition. The Excel-NE is the preferred self-contained model for heavy cottage or for residential use. Saves thousands of gallons of water, while recycling waste into safe useable soil. The unit is shipped fully assembled. To install, simply connect the supplied 4 inch vent stack and security drain. Seasonal capacity: 5 adults or families of 7. Residential use: 2 adults or families of 3 *Uses no water *Recycles waste into fertilizing soil. *No Odor *Certified & Listed by NSF *5 years on the fiberglass tank and 3 years parts replacement on all other parts The success of the Excel design meant that a three chamber unit could be specifically designed for those with NO continuous 110 volt supply. First launched in 1981, the Excel NE has long been the standard toilet for those living off the grid. A 1998 redesign gave the unit a rounded look, and recessed the drum handle. The Excel NE has no fan or heater. Odorless operation is achieved by a 4” vent mounted at the top rear of the unit which acts like a chimney on a wood stove. For good air movement the vent should be installed vertically and to 2-3 feet above the peak of the roof. The optional 12 Volt Fan should be installed if you need to install the toilet with any bends in the vent. No more than 2 45° bends are encouraged, even with the fan. If the Excel NE is used residentially or heavily, or is in a place which is subject to downdraft, the optional 12 volt fan should be installed in the vent stack. This fan draws 1.4 watts and can be powered by a solar panel and 12 volt marine battery. Evaporating capacity on the Excel NE is variable, so the 1” drain at the rear should be connected to an approved drain pit, container, or other facility Capacity Listed capacities refer to the amount of people, on average, using the unit per day.

Perfect for medium to heavy seasonal or light residential use, the Centrex 2000 AC/DC allows for both a longer composting cycle, and larger waste volumes than the Centrex 1000 AC/DC. The increased surface area in the evaporation chamber coupled with the larger heating element also provides better evaporation on electric units. When used seasonally by 7-9 adults, compost will normally only need removing annually each spring. In residential use compost will have to be extracted more frequently.

The Centrex 2000 AC/DC features a 370 watt thermostatically controlled heater in a sealed compartment under the unit and the standard Sun-Mar 30 watt turbo fan, with a 2” vent stack to remove the evaporate and fresh odors. This may be used when the unit is in AC operation. For easy switching between AC and DC mode, the Centrex 2000 AC/DC requires that 2 vent stacks be installed to handle the separate venting functions. The 2” vent is in use when the AC fan is in operation, and the 4” vent is venting the unit passively when there is no power available. As an extra option, we include a 12 Volt 1.4 Watt fan with the Centrex 2000 AC/DC. You may want to install this fan if the unit is to see maximum capacity use, and you should install the 12 Volt fan if you have to put any bends in the 4” vent stack, as you will then lose the ”chimney effect” advantage of a vertical stack, and will need to provide air movement with the fan. You may just install one vent if you only plan on using one function. If, for example, you do not have 110v AC power yet but anticipate getting it in the future, you can install just the 4” vent and leave the 2” vent capped off. The Centrex 2000 AC/DC is supplied with a 1” drain hose which |

In light to medium seasonal use the Centrex 1000 is typically able to hold compost for the full season, and compost needs extraction only in the Spring. The Centrex 1000 NE does not normally need a 12 Volt fan for the 4” stack, but a 1.4 Watt fan is available if required (where a bend needs to be installed in the vent stack, a 12 Volt fan is required).
