Sun-Mar Excel NE High Capacity Electric Compost Toilet
The Sun-Mar Excel NE is the same unit as the EXCEL without the electric features.
The success of the Excel design meant that a three chamber unit
could be specifically designed for those with NO continuous 110 volt
supply. First launched in 1981, the Excel NE has long been the standard
toilet for those living off the grid. A 1998 redesign gave the unit a
rounded look, and recessed the drum handle.
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. 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° 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.
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
