Does the Eloo require much maintenance?
The Eloo needs to be inspected on a regular basis to check on the quantity of waste on the drying plate and whether the dried waste needs removal. The period between removal of dried waste depends on the number of users per day per toilet. It is recommended that the unit should be inspected after the third and sixth month following installation to determine waste levels. After that service intervals could range from every six months to three years. The dried material is simply raked from the drying plate into the drying bag. The bag is then positioned inside the unit next to the manhole cover and below the vent pipe where increased temperatures and high ventilation ensure the waste is adequately stabilized. A maintenance manual is provided with each unit.
