    *

    Please select the primary pedestal (toilet fixture) option you would like to accompany your composting system.

    Note; that the Urine-Diversion (UD) pedestal option is most suitable where there is high use in peek or large family gatherings.

    Note; that with Urine Diversion, it is recommended that the compost mass is kept wet to avoid the pile drying out. Consider getting the hand-held bidet sprayer accessory for facilitating the hydration of compost.

    A hardwearing Nano-Ceramic Non-Stick Coating is applied onto the inner side of the Pedestal (toilet fixture) for maximum cleanliness.

    Note; basic cleaning will still be required.

    Note; non-stick is hydrophobic and repels liquids only.

    All ELV (Extra Low Voltage) (12v-48V) are suitable for Off-grid power systems.

    You may need additional vent materials depending on how many storeys your building has.

    Single Storey buildings with a high-profile roof (A frame or mono-pitch) require extra lengths of vent pipe - add one 800mm Vent Pipe Extension

    Double Storey buildings require extra lengths of vent pipe. Please add 4 x 1m Vent Pipe Extensions.

    Double Storey building with a high-profile roof (A frame or mono-pitch) require extra lengths of vent pipe - add one 800mm Vent Pipe Extension

    Kit for stepping the vent stack around the eaves of the roof. Allows you to avoid penetrating the roof.

    A wind-driven vent offers the best redundancy for your system ventilation. The wind-driven vent will assist the fan under heavy wind conditions, keeping the system operational in the event of a power outage or fan failure.
    SharkVent™ | Wind Ventilator has high efficiency with a linear wind direction windvane (good for storm-prone areas).
    Universal Vent ACC | Wind-Driven Vent has high efficiency in low windage. 2 colours: white or black.

    Select this reducing collar to adapt the vent from 150mm to 100mm.

    Choose how you'd like to manage the liquid (leachate) produced by your composting toilet system:

    Discharge to Drain or Trench
    Divert excess leachate to an approved soakage trench, drain field, or dispersal area. This option is suitable for most installations with available drainage capacity and may require a resource consent under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA), depending on your local council’s rules.

    Zero Discharge System (Reticulation)
    Select our sealed zero-discharge system to recirculate leachate back into the composting chamber for evaporation or absorption. Since no liquid is discharged to land, water, or air, this option falls outside the scope of the RMA and typically does not require resource consent. Ideal for sensitive environments, remote sites, or areas with strict discharge regulations.

    System sizes with Automatic or Manual reticulation dosing cycle options
    Automatic operations are on timer, and Manual operations are user-operated.

    Small 80L system - Suitable for a light-use system 
    Large 450L system - Suitable for a heavy-use system

    Clivus Multrum™ | CM8 Next-Gen Package

    If you need a certified underfloor composting system for a smaller home or low-clearance build, the CM8 Next-Gen is the Clivus Multrum™ answer.

    The CM8 Next-Gen is designed for up to 5 people full-time or 10 people part-time and is especially well suited to small homes, holiday houses, walking trails, remote workstations, and low-clearance installations.

    THE NEXT-GENERATION OF CLIVUS MULTRUM™ TECHNOLOGY

    "The newest and smartest evolution in the composting toilet market"

    Next-Gen is the result of years of development, field experience, and historical performance data, brought together into a more advanced Clivus Multrum™ design. It represents a new generation of composting toilet technology with stronger design efficiency, improved installation capability, and better long-term performance than earlier models.

    CAPACITY AND BEST FIT

    The CM8 is most popular for use in small homes, holiday houses, walking trails, remote workstations, and similar sites where lower underfloor clearance is critical but a true certified underfloor composting chamber is still desired.

    Residential / light-commercial positioning: The CM8 is the smallest of the Next-Gen continuous Clivus Multrum™ systems, but it still brings a certified underfloor composting chamber into projects where space is tighter and lower clearance is critical.

    KEY ADVANTAGES

    • Over 30% increase in composting volume while underfloor clearance was reduced to only 830mm required
    • Set and forget – minimal maintenance
    • The new design with leachate storage feature reduces the likelihood of blockage of the drainage system
    • Perfect solution for container holiday homes
    • More slopes in the design mean higher composting performance
    • Passive ventilation to assist the fan, prevent back-drafts and provide redundancy
    • Structural inground certified tank
    • Low profile with only 830mm clearance under the floor required

    With lower underfloor clearance, CM8 Next-Gen can be installed at sites like:

    • Sustainable off-grid living residences
    • Small homes
    • Holiday houses
    • Walking trails
    • Tiny houses
    • Remote work stations

    PACKAGE INCLUDES

    A CM8 Next-Gen package comes with everything you need:

    • Fully assembled composting tank
    • Porcelain pedestal and soft close seat
    • Pedestal waste chute (550mm) and dektite
    • 100mm ventilation and drain kit

    • Installation kit and maintenance tool
    • Starter pack (125ml Nature Flush Enzymes Concentrate & spray bottle, Microbiota MicrobeBURST™ Composting Additive, bulking agent)
    • Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual

    All the Clivus Multrum™ systems from the 8 to the 40 can be specified with high-quality pedestal options, helping the bathroom finish remain strong, functional, and appropriate for both residential and commercial settings.
