Product Information
The Centrex 3000 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 3000 series 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 series units are supplied with a 1" drain hose which should be connected to the 1" drain at the bottom left of the unit. This unit is for use with a Sealand low flush toilet, purchased separately. More than one toilet may be installed on this system, as shown in the picture.
The Centrex 3000 comes in three models: Standard, Non-Electric (NE) and AC/DC.
The Standard Centrex 3000 electric units feature a 370 watt 120 volt thermostatically controlled heater in a sealed compartment beneath the unit coupled with the standard Sun-Mar 30 watt turbo fan and 2" vent stack. This heater assists in evaporation of liquids, reducing the amount of effluent from the unit. The fan also removes any fresh odors from the unit, ensuring odor-free operation.
The Centrex 3000 NE (Non-Electric) is the non-electric version of the Centrex 2000 which is fitted with a 4" vent stack. Installation of a 12 Volt fan is optional, but it is recommended for heavy seasonal, residential use, or where the installation is particularly subject to downdraft, being surrounded by high trees or hills. We also recommend the fan if you need to install a bend in your vent stack.
The Centrex 3000 AC/DC is a hybrid power unit meant for light seasonal applications where the availability of AC power is uncertain. The AC/DC unit features a 370 watt heater in a sealed compartment under the unit and the standard Sun-Mar 30 watt turbo fan and 2" vent stack to ensure odorless operation. It also features a 4" vent stack which is meant to passively vent the unit when non-electric operation is required. This unit is ideal for those who do not have power now but are expecting it in the future, or for those who have generators that can only run part-time.
