Product Information

Product Usage Instructions

Installation

Tools:
Air supply (10 mm gap under the door or a vent)

Assembly: Step 1 – Unpacking the base:
Lift off the top of the toilet and remove the waste container.

Step 2 – Ventilation pipes through the wall or roof:
Option A – Through Roof:

1. Fasten the wall bracket temporarily on the base.
2. Put the base in position against the wall and mark for the bracket.
3. Remove the wall bracket from the toilet and install it on the wall.
4. Set base in position and mark where the screws go to fasten it to the wall, and also the hole for the urine hose (35mm).

Option B – Through Wall:

1. Place the base against the wall and mark the hole for the ventilation pipe (359mm from the floor).
2. Cut the hole in the wall with a holesaw (55mm).
3. Keep the base in position and mark where the screws go to fasten it to the wall, and the hole for the urine hose (35mm).

Step 3 – Urine hose through the wall or floor:

1. Make a hole for the urine hose, either through the wall or floor.
   • Through wall: up from floor c/c 25mm
   • Through floor: from wall c/c 40mm.
2. When the hose is installed through the wall, make sure that you have a slope of at least 2 degrees (2 cm per meter) to ensure enough drain out from the toilet.
3. Pass the urine hose through the floor/wall.
4. Set the base in position.

Step 4 – Ventilation pipes above the roof:

1. Extend the ventilation pipes above the roof to prevent condensation.
2. Cut the exterior pipe to fit the angle of the roof.
3. Position the roof flashing. For tin roof, it’s better to have a sheet metal worker to assist.

Maintenance

Urine drainage:
Follow local regulations for the disposal of urine.

Solid waste:
Dispose of solid waste in accordance with local regulations.

Electrical connection:
Ensure proper electrical connection according to local electrical codes.

General advice:
Follow all local health regulations and guidelines when using the Separera Mini with Urine Extraction.

Separera Mini with Urine Extraction

This urine separating toilet is constructed from eco-friendly material and is designed to cope with high demand over many years. What does separating waste mean? Well, the toilet is designed so solid waste is separated from the liquid (urine). This means that the Separera Mini has two containers, one for urine and another for solid waste. Both must be dealt with in accordance with local regulations.

Installation

Tools

• Drill
• Holesaw for 55 and 35mm hole
• Silicone
• Jigsaw/handsaw

Air supply
Make sure there is a good air supply, for example, through a 10 mm gap under the door or a vent. Air will be evacuated through the toilet, so cross- draughts must be avoided

Assembly

• Step 1 – Unpacking the base
  Lift off the top (6) of the toilet, and remove the waste container (3).

• Step 2 – Ventilation pipes through the wall or roof
  Option A – Through Roof

  • Fasten the wall bracket temporarily on the base (7).

  • Put the base in position against the wall. Mark for the bracket.

  • Remove the wall bracket from the toilet. Install the bracket on the wall.

  • Set base in position and mark where the screws go to fasten it to the wall, and also the hole for the urine hose (35mm).
    Option B – Through Wall

  • Place the base against the wall, and mark the hole for the ventilation pipe (359mm from the floor). Cut the hole in the wall with a holesaw (55mm).

  • Temporarily attach the 50cm long pipe to the outlet on the base, and place it in position to mark how much excess pipe to trim off (keep at least 5cm past the wall for the 90° bend to attach to). Trim pipe with a jigsaw or handsaw.

  • Keep the base in position and mark where the screws go to fasten it to the wall, and the hole for the urine hose (35mm)

• Step 3 – Urine hose through the wall or floor

  • Make a hole for the urine hose, either through the wall or floor.

  • Through wall: up from floor c/c 25mm

  • Through floor: from wall c/c 40mm.
    When the hose is installed through the wall make sure that you have a slope of at least 2 degrees (2 cm per meter) to ensure enough drain out from the toilet.

  • Pass the urine hose through the floor/wall.

  • Set the base in position.

• Step 4 – Ventilation pipes above the roof

  • Make a hole in the roof for the ventilation pipe, 55 mm.
  • Put the 90° bend on the ventilation pipe or outlet.
  • Attach the ventilation pipes unsleeved end into the 90° coupling.
  • Insulate all piping that passes through cold spaces (e.g. in the attic and on above roof). This is to prevent condensation.
  • Cut the exterior pipe to fit the angle of the roof.
  • Position the roof flashing. For tin roof, its better to have a sheetmetal worker to make the flashing.
  • Put the outer pipe with the roof flashing over the insulated ventilation pipe.
  • Adjust the roof flashing to the external roof and seal firmly with asphalt sealant between the flashing and the roof.
  • Once all the piping is insulated and covered, fit the reducing coupling on top, and then fit the insect netting.

• Step 5 – Fastening base and connecting to power

  • Fasten the toilet securely to the wall or bracket using screws and washers.
  • Place a bag in the composting chamber and fold it over the edge. Put the frame in position to lock the bag.
  • Place the container inside the base and make sure that the bag does not cover the fan.
  • Put the top back in place.
  • Connect to power.

Maintenance

Urine drainage

• Urine can be drained away in a number of different ways. Check what is required by your local authority; there are variations depending on ground conditions and the water table. There must be a drop in the hose coming out and away from the toilet to avoid salt deposits; for longer distances, its better to connect it to a 32mm PVC pipe.
• The urine hose can connect to an existing greywater drain, an external filtration, or an external collection bottle

Solid waste

• With normal use, a family of four produces around 7 litres of solid waste per week. The emptying frequency depends on usage. For example, after 2-3 weeks use by 4 people it will be time to switch composting chambers.
• Simply remove the top, tie up the bag, remove and replace it with a new bag.
• If you would like to compost the waste and use as a fertiliser, we recommend emptying the waste into a separate external chamber, adding a little bulking agent, and setting it aside in a shady place to complete composting (this make take around 6 months, depending on conditions).

Electrical connection

Separera is approved for installation in wet rooms.

General advice

• Flush the urine bowl with water weekly to reduce salt deposits.
• Empty the solid waste regularly, the bags start to decompose after 2-3 week.
• If insects get into the toilet, refer to our information on dealing with insects that can be found in the troubleshooting section of our website (ecoflo.com.au/resources/troubleshooting).
• To clean the toilet, use only enzymes. Never use abrasive chemical cleaning agents.
• If the toilet is installed as option B and you plan to leave the house for more than a few days, switch off the fan and put the cover in the toilet opening. If there is a good natural draft no odour will occur.
• If you do experience a bad odour in the room, check that the pipe connections are properly sealed and there is an air supply.
