The success of the Excel design meant that a three chamber unit could be specifically designed for those with NO continuous 110 volt supply.<\/p>\n
First launched in 1981, the Excel NE has long been the standard toilet for those living off the grid. The Excel NE has no fan or heater. Odorless operation is achieved by a 4″ vent mounted at the top rear of the unit which acts like a chimney on a wood stove.<\/p>\n
For good air movement the vent should be installed vertically and to 2-3 feet above the peak of the roof. The optional 12 Volt Fan should be installed if you need to install the toilet with any bends in the vent. No more than 2 45\u00b0 bends are encouraged, even with the fan. If the Excel NE is used residentially or heavily, or is in a place which is subject to downdraft, the optional 12 volt fan should be installed in the vent stack. This fan draws 1.4 watts and can be powered by a solar panel and 12 volt marine battery.<\/p>\n
Where Can a Non-Electric Composting Toilet Be Installed?
\nThanks to its self-contained and non-electric design, a Sun-Mar composting toilet like this can be set up almost anywhere you need it. No need for sewer lines, running water, or even a power outlet\u2014which makes it a favorite for off-grid cabins, remote camps, tiny homes, backyard studios, boats, and even yurts. Whether you\u2019re homesteading in the woods, upgrading your hunting shack, or finally making that lakeside getaway livable year-round, your installation options are wide open.<\/p>\n
Evaporating capacity on the Excel NE is variable, so the 1″ drain at the rear should be connected to an approved drain pit, container, or other facility. Installations include, but are not limited to: cabins, cottages, homes, businesses, resorts, camps, treehouses and workshops.<\/p>\n
