FAQ
– What to do if the compost becomes too dry?
Use the setting to reduce the heat to a lower level and spray a couple of litres of water on the compost, at the same
time it may be useful to break up the compost through the seat opening using the rake. If the compost is consistently
too dry, despite the setting being at step 1, then you can also install a timer that turns the power off at night.
The forming of hard lumps or that toilet paper remains on top instead of becoming wet and getting mixed in to the
compost indicates that it is too dry.
– What to do if the compost becomes too wet?
First check that power is connected to the toilet, so that the fan and heater works.The fan motor is working if you
are able to hear it and the heating you can check by holding your hand on the back of the toilet.Then check:
When the compost is no longer able to absorb liquid, and it stays on top of the compost.
– The ventilation pipe has been installed according to the instructions.
– The room temperature should be at least 18°C (65°F) when toilet is beeing used..
– The toilet has been overloaded. Reduce the load.
– There is enough airflow through the wall vent.
Getting the compost drier
1. Mix a few quarts of BioLet Special Humus into the moist compost until all the liquid has been absorbed.
2. If there is liquid in the level tube. Do not turn it down to a lower setting until the liquid regains its normal level.
3. If there is liquid in the level tube on the left side as viewed from the front, the tray has overflowed. Increase
the setting and wait a couple of days before emptying.
4. If the compost does not become drier, the excess liquid will need to be emptied. Loosen the level tube (23)
at the top and connect a garden hose. Note: Do not open the front cover.
5. If the toilet is full, empty the tray. It might be necessary to repeat this until the volume is back to normal.
– What to do if the tray is stuck
If the tray is stuck in place, due to compost between the tray and the grate having dried, release the tray by
pulling the humus rake back and forth between the tray and the grate.
– Emptying
For more frequent use, for example in the event of permanent use, the more often the tray has to be emptied.
If the toilet has not been used for the last 2 months, the contents in the tray can be used as fertilizer immediately.
But, when emptying the tray in the middle of the season, the contents needs to compost further for about
2 months. Remove the full tray and replace it with an additional tray (which can be bought from us). Put the
full tray in a plastic bag.
– What should not be put in to the toilet?
The disposal of items such as sanitary towels, tampons, cigarette butts, burning or glowing objects should
not be put into the toilet.
– What to do if there is a bad odor in the toilet room?
A properly installed and maintained BioLet is completely odor-free. If you do experience a bad odor in the
toilet room. Make sure you have followed the installation and maintenance instructions (using the quick-guide below)
and you will probably be able to determine the cause of the problem.
