Nature Loo™ Maintenance Instructions

Daily user interaction: After each solid deposit, add one scoop of bulking agent to the chamber (“scoop per poop”). The fan runs continuously in the background; no further daily action is required.

Weekly light clean: Wipe the seat, lid, and bowl with a compost-safe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that can disrupt the biology. A quick check of the vent terminal and fan intake helps keep airflow steady.

Monthly routine: Look at the chamber surface. If a cone is forming under the drop point, gently level it so the top remains flat and porous; if the surface appears dense or matted, add a light sprinkle of dry bulking and mix the top few centimetres to reopen air paths (self-contained units via the chamber lid; split units via service access).

Capacity management:

• Self-contained models—replace or retire the active chamber when it’s about three-quarters full, and put a fresh one into service. Let the full chamber mature off-line in a warm, secure place.
• Split systems—follow your model’s guidance for removal and curing. Only remove finished material as needed to maintain working capacity.

Regular checks: Ensure the fan is running 24/7, the vent path is unobstructed, and any drain/soakage line has clear fall. Address blockages promptly so the chamber stays breathable.

Annual service (technical): Clean the fan housing and vent, flush the drain/soakage line if fitted, inspect seals, and confirm the power supply is stable (particularly on solar). Replace the fan if performance or noise suggests wear.

Daily user interaction

After each solid deposit, add one scoop of bulking agent to the chamber (“scoop per poop”). Keep the seat closed and let the ventilation fan run continuously in the background—no other daily action is required.

Weekly light clean

Wipe the seat, lid, and bowl with a compost-safe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that can disrupt the biology. Do a quick visual check of the vent terminal and fan intake to ensure steady airflow.

Monthly routine

Inspect the chamber surface. If a cone is forming under the drop point, gently level it so the top remains flat and porous. If the surface looks dense or matted, add a light sprinkle of dry bulking and mix the top few centimetres to reopen air paths. Access via the chamber lid on NL3 (on-floor), or via the service access on Alectura™ Comfort & Premium (split/under-floor).

Capacity management

NL3 (on-floor) — Replace or retire the active chamber when it’s about three-quarters full and put a fresh one into service. Let the full chamber mature off-line in a warm, secure place.

Alectura™ Comfort & Premium (split/under-floor) — Follow your model’s guidance for removal and curing. Remove only finished material as needed to maintain working capacity.

Regular checks

Confirm the fan is running 24/7, the vent path is unobstructed, and any drain/soakage line has clear fall. Address blockages promptly so the chamber stays breathable and odour-free.

Annual service (technical)

Clean the fan housing and vent, flush the drain/soakage line if fitted, and inspect seals and fasteners. Confirm the power supply is continuous and stable. Replace the fan if noise or weak draw suggests wear.
