Sun-Mar Composting Toilets

 

Sun-Mar toilets are the safest and most environmentally friendly method of waste treatment. These composting toilets evaporate liquids and compost the solids, so on most models there is absolutely no output and no contamination of ground water. Sun-Mar composting toilets have saved over 3.3 billion gallons of water and counting!

 

Sun-Mar is a world leader in composting toilet technology with a unique, patented Bio-drum™ design that means fast, odor-free composting. Sun-Mar toilets are the only ones certified by NSF to NSF/ANSI Standard #41 for residential and cottage use (most regulators require NSF certification). They're designed so air is constantly being drawn in and up the vent stack providing odor-free operation. Sun-Mar’s unique 3 chamber technology means easy operation and maintenance.

 

They are an ideal solution...

• Where it's not possible or cost-effective to install a conventional toilet

• As an environmentally friendly alternative

• For homes, garages, warehouses, barns, pool cabanas, cabins, mines, RV’s, boats, and other locations

 

What is Composting?

Composting converts organic matter back to its essential minerals. Aerobic microbes do this in the presence of moisture and air, by converting carbon to carbon dioxide gas, and hydrogen to water vapor. As a result, some 95% of the starting material is evaporated and the resulting compost is recycled back to nature.

Self-Contained vs. Central Units

3 Easy Steps to determine Which model is right for me?

 

Step 1: Self-Contained vs. Central Units

Self-Contained Units

Self-Contained units are installed directly in the bathroom.

 

Main Features:

• Quick and easy to install

• Waterless – no plumbing required

• Electrical units can evaporate all liquids under normal conditions

• Easy to clean having a durable shiny contoured finish        

Central Units

Central units have a conventional looking toilet in the bathroom and a separate composting unit. They are available in two styles - low water flush and A/F waterless.

 

Low water style systems:

• Feature a conventional looking toilet in the bathroom

• Can be connected to multiple bathrooms

 

Waterless style systems (A/F kit required):

• Feature a conventional looking toilet in the bathroom

• No plumbing necessary

 

Step 2: Electric vs. Non-Electric

Electric Units

Select an electric composting toilet if you have a standard electricity supply. These units feature high quality fans and thermostatically controlled heaters. 

Non-Electric Units

Select these if you have no power or are using alternative energy. These toilets feature a higher capacity ventilation stack.

Dual Voltage

Select the AC/DC Kit if you require the option of operating in a standard electric mode (115 Volt) or with only a 12 Volt 1.4 fan or with no power at all.

 

Step 3: Capacity

Select a toilet based on the right capacity for your needs. Although advertised capacities can be doubled for short periods, selecting a toilet with the maximum number of users in mind in recommended. Sun-Mar offers units with capacities ranging from 1 adult to 6 adults (or a family of 8).

Why Compost?

A SUN-MAR Garden Composter is a gardener’s dream. You know that by recycling you are doing the right thing, and it’s fun to produce your own compost effortlessly.

 

Benefits of Composting Your Kitchen and Yard Waste Include:

  1. Healthier plants, because of the improved soil structure and additional nutrients in the compost
  2. Reduced waste disposal costs
  3. FREE source of fertilizer
  4. Reduced water bills, because soil mixed with
    compost retains water better than regular soil

 

Four Reasons You’ll Enjoy Using Our Sun-Mar Composters:

  1. You’ll be creating first class
    compost material
  2. You’ll send less waste to the dump
  3. You’ll have easy to use,
    top-of-the line equipment
  4. Less likely to be bothered by pests

 

 

 

Composting the SUN-MAR way

Keep the compost moist and oxygenated.

This means rotating the drum regularly to add oxygen, and adding water when the compost gets dry.

Aim for the right carbon/nitrogen ratio.

Adding a mixture of kitchen and regular yard waste is effective, but for better, faster results, add carbon-rich material (browns) like sawdust, straw, dry leaves, or wood chips. These balance the nitrogen-rich green material and kitchen waste. Chop up the waste if possible: the smaller it is, the faster the breakdown process.

Keep the compost warm.

This is not usually a concern because the compost in the drum and the drum’s insulating properties keep the heat in.

If you use only kitchen waste, you may need to add bulking material or pre-composted material to help with oxygen penetration as the drum rotates.
