Centrex 3000 Composting Toilet
Overview
The CENTREX 3000 composting toilet is unique among the Sun-Mar’s Central units. It utilizes a continuous flow design for very heavy cottage or medium residential use. With a continuous flow system, rotation of the drum moves compost along the larger and longer CENTREX 3000 drum, before it drops automatically into the collection housing at the end of the unit. Under normal operating conditions, the drum will not have to be turned backwards for emptying.
All CENTREX 3000 electric composting toilets feature a built-in heating element and fan assembly. This unit is for use with a 1-pint, Ultra-low flush toilet, purchased separately. More than one toilet may be installed on this system, depending on needs and available space.
The Centrex 3000 is designed to be used when you have space for the composter away from the toilet. Installations include, but are not limited to: cabins, cottages, homes, businesses, resorts, camps, treehouses and workshops. Click to view the CENTREX 3000 on Sun-Mar’s webstore.
All Sun-Mar composting toilets have a 3 year warranty on parts. For information on Sun-Mar’s warranty, visit here to view a copy of the warranty card.

After 17 years of cottage enjoyment with our young family, “Major” renovations were under way – with plans to include the luxury of an indoor bathroom, (complete with toilet!)
Next – what type of toilet to install? With family discussions we chose the “Sun-Mar CENTREX 3000 composting toilet.” With the skills and expertise of our family we now are fortunate to have a luxurious bathroom. Attaining the end result we give sincere thanks to Sun-Mar’s Service department and representatives from Kenora Home Building Centre for their expertise and friendly manner to ensure the maximum efficiency of the toilet.
Our little part in saving an incredible 1.6 billion gallons of fresh water with other Sun-Mar users everywhere
We installed our CENTREX 3000 unit during the construction phase of our cabin and have been using it almost every weekend and vacation since it was installed (over a year now). It took very little effort to get used to the maintenance of the unit. At first there was a bit of trepidation about how it would all work… but everything has been working well and we have had few problems. (The 7-and-a-half-feet of snow in the March Blizzard of ’03 was a bit hard on the roof vent stack, but that was a once-in-90-year storm). Thanks, Sun-Mar, for helping us save water, keeping our septic field a “grey-water” system, and giving us a sense of helping the environment.
Its great, easy, inexpensive and an excellent system
We have a small summer camp on a lake in western Mass. The CENTREX 3000 handles 4-6 people on weekends and small gatherings of about 15 people very well. We produce an average of two 5 gallon pails of compost per season (May to Oct.).
