Kuna aina mpya ya choo ambacho kimekuja, ambacho hakiitaji uchimbaji wa shimo au maji ya kuflash
Pia wataalamu wanadai ni kiboko ya harufu, yaani hauwezi kuhisi harufu ya gogo,
Mwenye ujuvi zaidi atuelimishe
Ufanyaji wake wakazi

| The City of Syracuse Chose Sun-Mar to Protect Its Water Supply |
| Sun-Mar received a phone call in 1998 from the City of Syracuse, New York, advising that Sun-Mar composting toilets were being tested against other composting toilets for potential installation in almost 100 cottages and homes on Skaneateles Lake. Skaneateles Lake is the source of drinking water for the City of Syracuse and several smaller communities in the watershed. It was no surprise that Sun-Mar was chosen for the project.Adobe Reader) The testing process took 2 whole years to complete. The Excel unit was put through several torture tests, in the areas of handling capacity, odor detection, and amount of overflow liquid. Units were tested both by the city and by individual homeowners. The criteria used for these tests were the same that NSF uses in their tests. NSF (The National Sanitation Foundation) is the only organization which certifies composting toilets as acceptable for use, under their standard 41. Sun-Mar is the only company with an official NSF certification for a small-scale composting toilet. Here are a few of the areas at which Sun-Mar excelled in the tests: Ease of Mixing In order to mix the compost, you turn a handle which turns the drum. Nothing can stick or break. Our drum has been using a simple gear system for over 20 years, which ensures ease of mixing Ease of Emptying When the drum gets to be around ½ full, you pull out the drum locker and rotate the same handle counter-clockwise for one rotation of the drum to empty. Then you leave the compost in the drawer for a few weeks to cure, or if you are emptying after leaving it all winter, take it right out. There is no digging, poking, chiselling, or handling of fresh waste. Odour Free Operation While we say it in our advertising over and over again, this is hard to get your head around unless you are physically standing in the room with a Sun-Mar toilet. We are raised with the idea that toilets smell bad. However, due to constant negative pressure inside the unit, a Sun-Mar composting toilet never smells. Compost must be mismanaged significantly or venting installed incorrectly in order for it not to operate odor-free. The only area where you may have a problem is on the outside, at the very top of the vent stack, if the cottage is at the bottom of a cliff. This problem was solved by use of a special filter box arrangement on the applicable cottages on Skaneateles Lake. Otherwise, any odors at the end of the vent are carried into the air, and do not blow back onto the property. Customer Service Sun-Mar is currently the only composting toilet company with a designated department for after-sales service. While our design and technology were responsible for our selection as the solution for Skaneateles Lake's wastewater problem, our customer service was also greatly appreciated. We are committed to working with any Sun-Mar owner who has a problem until the problem is solved. We understand that unfamiliar technology can lead to questions and we are always available to provide answers. |
