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.
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.
